Eric
Tracy is a multi-talented reporter, talk show host, Webmaster,
storyteller and master of ceremonies who has picked up his
passion for golf and his megaphone and taken them on the
road.
This
year is Eric’s 7th year as a sports anchor for KFWB Headline
News (980 AM) in Los Angeles where he is a valuable
resource not only as an on-air personality, but as KFWB’s
golf ambassador. Eric is the writer, producer and host of
"KFWB’s Southern
California Golf Tour," a series of radio reviews
of Southern California golf courses. His reports are on
the air and on the Internet on KFWB’s award winning website
(www.kfwb.com).
Eric’s reviews are also published monthly in LA Golf
and OC GOLF Magazines.
| Eric
is also the creator of Charity Golf Online (www.charitygolfonline.com),
a searchable database for information on Southern California
charity golf tournaments, hosted by KFWB. Golfers seeking
to play at one of Southern California’s prestigious
private country clubs can find a charity golf tournament
on Charity Golf Online that will enable them to experience
golf courses they otherwise could only read about. Charities
can get golfers for their tournaments by registering
their golf tournaments on Charity Golf Online and can
also pick up valuable tips for organizing a successful
tournament. |

If
it’s Monday, you’ll find Eric in his signature brightly
colored knickers with a putter in one hand and a bullhorn
in the other, entertaining at one of the thousands of
charity golf tournaments taking place in Southern California
from March to December. Eric has turned his passion
for golf and heart for charity into a frequent stint
as a charity golf master of ceremonies and on-course
entertainer. Eric takes on the persona of “The Mulligan
Man” to play one hole with each of the 36 foursomes
that form the typical charity tournament. If he makes
a good shot, it counts. That’s the extra shot (i.e.
“mulligan”)! |
To
many, the name Eric Tracy means not golf, but baseball.
For 12 seasons beginning in 1983, Eric was a member of the
Los Angeles Dodgers radio broadcast team as the creative
force and host of Dodger Forecast, Dodger Confidential,
Baseball Spotlight and Dodgertalk.
Prior to joining KFWB, he was the morning sports anchor
and an ensemble player on the Ken and Barkley Company, one
of Southern California’s more popular morning drive radio
programs on KABC Talkradio. In 1994/95 Eric co-hosted
KABC’s Sportstalk with Steve Edwards. Nowadays,
Eric brings the excitement of baseball to the charity golf
community by throwing bags of peanuts to the banqueting
golfers and auctioning off baseball paraphernalia to raise
money for worthy causes.
Tracy
is a long time Southern California resident. He is a devoted
husband to Kathleen, loving father to one-year-old JoyAnne,
master to faithful retired seeing eye dog Fiat, and an active
“Big Brother” to 16-year-old Tyson, who is a skilled golfer
on his high school golf team.
