Still sort of famous 25 years after she played Lacey Underall in one of the most-quoted comedies ever made, Chicago native Cindy Morgan agreed to try to reunite some of the cast of "Caddyshack" for a charity golf tournament that would raise money for military families.
But after golf was played, drinks and dinner were had and the bills rolled in, nobody was yukking it up.
The 2006 tournament raised no money, but it did break up friendships and spawn lawsuits. Even such luminaries as the state's lieutenant governor—who kicked off the event with a news conference—are distancing themselves from the fundraiser.
The corporate-sponsored event, held over three days in July 2006 at the Oak Brook Hills Marriott Resort and Willow Crest Golf Club in west suburban Oak Brook, was supposed to give duffers a chance to play a round with a couple of "Caddyshack" cast members and sports celebrities like Jim McMahon. The event was expected to raise about $250,000 for the Illinois Military Family Relief Fund, a trust that benefits families of National Guard troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. snip
But those still owed money lay the blame squarely on Morgan. They say they fell for her claims that cast members Chase and Murray would appear at the event (they didn't) and now believe Morgan, who makes appearances at golf courses, may have seen the tournament as a way to drum up business for herself.
