And the Winner Is...

The hubby - just an inch away from a hole in one.

But hey, at least he won the tournament!

 Of course, there was a small price to pay.

You've heard of the Master tourney's green jacket, right?

Well, my hubby's tournament has a jacket, too...a "special" red one.

 I think you can spot it on my man (a little right of center) in the chapel.

 You see, the prize comes with a penalty.

You have to wear it to church the first Sunday after winning!

Please note that the loverly patch boasts three stars, 
not all of which you can see in the last picture.
These were added by Ada, one of the "proud" wives.
(The jacket itself was purchased at a thrift local store.)

;)

Ahhh, sweet victory!

  5. He is actually embarrassed to wear the jacket, but proud to have won it. (It is not the most attractive thing you will ever see...)

  6. Ha ha! That's the best kind of tourney, where the winner wins and gets the prize, but the losers feel good too because the prize is a wee bit embarrassing.

  16. That is priceless. I can't believe he was inches away from a hole in one. Has he ever made one before?

    I think this is a great thing for the winner to have to do. Wearing an unfitted fairly discusting jacket is a beautiful award(punishment?) for having won.

  17. That's hysterical! A hole in one would have been truly amazing. My short game is, in a word, tiring.
