Taylor's agent, Steve Mottershead, invites those who can do so to participate in the event saying, "We are very happy to try to raise funds for the Donna Louise Children's Hospice Trust. It is a very worthwhile cause and one close to Phil's heart." He hopes the event organized by SJ SportMedia in partnership with De Vere Hotel and the Worthingtons will raise close to £10,000.

The fundraiser titled Ten10 campaign is part of Donna Louise Children's Hospice Trust's 10th anniversary. The charity, based at Trentham Lakes, intends to raise money for the children in its Staffordshire and South Cheshire centres.

Meanwhile, fund-raising and PR chief, Melanie Mills, says, "We are so pleased that Phil has taken on this golf and darts tournament to help celebrate our 10th birthday. We hope that, whether you are a darts fan or not, you will get behind Phil and help raise much-needed funds for life-threatened children and their families."

Tickets are available by calling 0161 928 3594 and may soon be available for £65 per person. Tickets for a team of four cost £600 and includes golf, hole sponsorship and dinner.

For £750, a team of three gets a celebrity team member, hole sponsorship, golf and dinner. Slots are limited for golf.

A celebrity charity golf and darts day offers fans the chance to get up close and personal with their favourite celebrity or even try their hand at darts against Phil Taylor, once was happended during his holidays at a hotel in Thailand.

The man, who is widely considered to be the world's best darts player, will host a celebrity fund-raiser for the Donna Louise Children's Hospice Trust on Friday 11th September. Participants will get the chance to play alongside sports and showbiz personalities such as radio and TV host Jeremy Kyle; actor-musician, Jonathan Wilkes and Robbie William’s father, Pete Conway. More celebrities are still expected to confirm their attendance, among them Gloucester RFC’s outside centre, Mike Tindall.

Although the 49-year-old multi-champion thrower from Stoke-on-Trent will be passing up his chance of playing golf, he says that he realized the need for a fund-raising initiative to help the hospice in any way he can after a visit there earlier this year.

Nevertheless, Taylor is set to play against three of the day's best golf players: the person who hits the longest drive, the winning celebrity and the winner of the nearest the pin competition.

Taylor says, "I am going to enjoy watching the golfers going past my garden and I'm looking forward to playing the best golfers of the day later on."

The proud new father who said that parenthood will help him settle down, Lewis just recently broke his title dry spell with a nine-darter tournament win in Austria. Speaking of his Austrian win, he said, "It was brilliant especially to finish with a nine darter on the big stage. And I got one last year against Wadey in the Championship League darts. When you're aiming for the last treble 20 you start getting a bit nervous thinking don't miss now, so when you can actually finish it off it's a great relief.  I think my game will go up now, with having the little'un I think my game will settle down a lot more. With me it's all about confidence, I am a confidence player, when I'm on a high I can beat anyone but it's just getting that confidence going."

The Championship League darts has no live audience and can only be watched online.
In an era where playing darts in front of a crowd has become the norm for aficionados and darts athletes alike, Lewis asserts that the silence of the playing environment can, if anything, only turn out for the better. "I tell you what, it's like where I practice at home," he said of the atmosphere. "I've got a little back room that's quiet and it echoes so that's probably why it suits me, because its just like I'm practising at home.  Having no crowd or anything doesn't put me off at all."

For "Jackpot" darts player Adrian Lewis, this year's Championship League darts is all about getting the same form with a different result. The 24-year-old star from Stoke-on-Trent voiced his concern over his previous year's performance, which secured him a slot in last year's event but fell short of winning him a slot to the finals.

Lewis opened last year's tournament with a spectacular nine-darter, but struggled in subsequent matches and fell away.  Eight group stages make up the event, with each group played out as leagues. The final eight-man winner group is made up of the winner from each stage.  Lewis came up short despite dominating the league stages three times, making the group finals three times out of eight and the semis three times. He finished fourth on the overall money list for the tournament

"I think I played in a few semis and a lot of finals last year, I think I finished three of them leading the money table but didn't even qualify for the finals," said the embattled darts player.

This year, Lewis lays out his ambition for a breakthrough. "I think this year I'm looking to try and qualify straight away, I'm not looking at staying in the league to collect more money I want to get it over and done with and get to the final."
