So now the week-end of insanity in the Iowa-Illinois QC area has yet another event added to the list. Along with all the Jazz festival sites, jam sessions, and appearances of Neil Diamond at the Mark of the Quad Cities, and the Bix Run, we now have The Trix Birdiebecke Golf thing, where it has been announced that there will be a new player, who did not have to qualify for the competition. MARIO, Of the Nintendo, MARIO Brothers fame, will be teeing off, in full costume.Mustache and all. Actually, tournament officials have offered a sponsor's exemption to putt-putt golf phenom Richelle Pee Wee. A rising star of mini-golf circuit, young pee-wee, 15, has two very odd habits. She plays every match costumed like Mario, and she uses a driver for putting.The tourney is otherwise known as the 2005 AIR TRAN AIRWAYS TRIX BIRDIEBECKE PEE-WEE GOLF CLASSIC, and the winner of the Bent Putter trophy will advance to the national Harris Cup Tournament in Atlantic City, N.J. The TRIX will be held Aug. 1, at 7 p.m. at the River Valley Golf, Moline, Ill. Admission is free for spectators. Organizers say they expect 10,000 to attend this year.Rumor hath it that Pee-wee will Rock You!
OUI?
