Blue Shamrock Golf Tournament (The Kilted Classic)
Sun. April 19th at Pearl Country Club

Registration starts at 10:30 am.
Brought to you by the Saint Andrew Society of Hawaii

This is the chance for all you hackers to get out your fancy duds and wear a kilt on the golf course.

No Scramble here!

You play your own ball and by the whims of the Golf Gods.
Your handicap will be determined by a Peoria System.
That means if you shoot poorly on the secret holes, you have a great chance to win.
I did last year.

Bring your Scottish friends and cousins!

Please take a moment to say a prayer on his behalf and, if possible, attend his service.

He was born in Westborough, Mass. and is survived by his daughter,
Jamie Ann Tschetter; his brother, Steve; his companion, Janet Oka.

A scattering of ashes is scheduled for 11 a.m. tomorrow (Thursday Feb. 26th)
