Austin American-Statesman
April 19, 1990
Willie Nelson, George Strait and Former University of Texas football coach Darrell Royal played at theLegends of Golf pro-am Wednesday. On Wednesday, at Barton Creek Country Club, the celebrities played and the crowd stood around begging for autographs.
The pro-am play was a prelude to the Seniors PGA Tour tournament that begins today and is destined to draw a far different crown from Wednesday’s.
The Wednesday crowd was sprinkled with those who didn’t know a Hole in One from the Ace in the Whole Band. those were spectators who would have trouble differentiating bogeying from a boogying.
But these were people who across a fairway, had to trouble recognizing Willie without the bandanna, and George without the cowboy hat.
Willie still looks like Willie, but I don’t know who George looks like. Maybe it’s the sweater.
Looks like a young George to me. lol
Just a little tidbit here…my son’s soccer coach was George’s brother-in-law. When George was first becoming a big star in Texas, he sponsored the soccer team the “Bandits”. My son had several uniforms with “George Strait” on the back.
That’s cool, Pat.
