Big-name athletes and Hollywood celebrities all gathered at the green in Cromwell Wednesday afternoon for the Travelers' Celebrity Pro-Am.
Actor and comedian George Lopez flew in to Connecticut from LA just to support the cause.
He was better at entertaining the crowd than he was with his swing, and of course he took advantage of each available moment to crack a joke.
"My grandmother had Travelers insurance and when she fell at the story, they wrote the check quick," said Lopez.
Following behind Lopez was ESPN's Chris "Boomer" Berman, dressed to the nines in a bright magenta shirt and rocking longer locks than normal.
Boomer says he hasn't cut his hair since turning 60 but today, 90 is likely going to be his lucky number.
"I shoot about a 90. We'll see how it goes. Ninety could be really good or really bad," said Berman.

Connecticut being home for Boomer, he didn't let the nerves get the best of him.
NBC's own Matt Lauer was admittedly a little intimidated by the size of the crowd.
"They know you're not a pro golfer, but you still don't want to embarrass yourself off the first tee so I think this is as much pressure as an amateur golfer has," Lauer said.
It was all talk because once he got in the zone, his swing got quite the response from the spectators.
Even the tiniest fans stood in awe as they watched and waited for their favorite celebrities to approach the crowd for autographs.
"Lots of them I see on TV, and it's really cool," said Andrew Collins.
