The Crowne Plaza Invitational along with the Colonial Country Club are heaped with traditions, one of which can be the plaid jacket awarded to its Champions.
Within my 2010 visit to your Crowne Plaza Invitational, Mrs. Golfblogger and I were treated with the traditional quail breakfast while playing a talk by Competition Director Chuck Scherer on the history of the clb, and on the unsecured personal red plaid jackets.
Members' jackets extend into the Colonial's beginnings with 1936, when founder Marvin Leonard opted the club needed a jacket just like those worn by that members at Augusta. The original jacket was blue, but Leonard switched to a plaid, which he said reminded him of when he'd played in Scotland. The fabric is a real Scottish tartan, and has SEVENTEEN colors in the application.
The members wear them with the tournament (and I expect on other important occasions) and they're not nearly as garish physically as they seem in most photos.
The plaid has become continuously in use, together with awarded to tournament champions with one exception. The club went back to the blue for one year in honor of the tournament's 30th wedding anniversary.
