Hawaiian Shirts

Tally Whacker 1997
Alderbrook Golf & Country Club - August


Won by Bob Pacquer - for the 4th time in 8 years!



Unfortunately, all the records from this event have disappeared. I organized most of this event while still living in Fiji, with the help of guys like Randy Russell and Steve Northfield. I set the date to coincide with my daughter's wedding so I could be involved in both while visiting back home. The theme in 1997 was "Hawaiin Shirts" This was a simple theme yet many players were fined severely for their attempts to pass strange attire for "Hawaiian." Particularly memorable was the Mexican shirt being worn by Gary Alexander. Colorful - yes, Hawaiian - no. Hopefully, some day, photos will emerge which will show just how classy this group of golfers looked.

What a shame to waste those great shots on the practice tee.
