1999
Highlights:
Red Colby
became only the fifth player ever to don the blue tweed having won the
1999 Mongrel Masters Championship in the most bizarre circumstances
ever.
Controversy
reigns supreme at the Mongrel Masters and the tenth anniversary of the
Tournament's inception proved to be the most scandalous ever. After
having lost in a playoff to Boxcar Willey , Colby was later
declared the winner as it was discovered after close
investigation of his scorecard that Boxcar had recorded a 47
which would have placed him seventh.
How
this could ever have happened is beyond comprehension. Unofficial
statements from a source within the Tournament's organisation was that
they wanted to build up some tension for the tenth tournament and they
saw having a playoff was a fitting ending to what had been a great
decade of golf, however, it was not thought that Red Colby would choke
on the playoff hole and that Boxcar would win. However,
the official line was that no one checked Boxcar Willey's scorecards
addition until after the playoff and it was then that the gross error
was discovered and the wrong was righted.
