The inaugural Carl Spackler Invitational begun in March 2007 and featured 10 willing participants eager to get their hands on this plaid jacket for the first time. The venue was Eastlake GC and the conditions were perfect.
No excuses. It was the Callaway System which was implemented to determine the winner and after a lot of calculations, Mike McLean took out the event by 1 shot over Boxy. He also grabbed a couple of longest drive prizes as well. He hit straight when no one could and was proudly wearing the jacket home to the family later that evening.
Other highlights included Ben using his 6 iron, or was it a 4 iron for almost every shot on the day, Boxy nailing the longest drive on the 8th hole - with his second attempt and Batts thinking he could beat Greeny again. The whole day was superbly run by Aaron who had organised carts, food and drink and all were just dying to get back to the driving range for the next event.
