"But with Allen in charge of this thing, no way it was going to be a solemn affair. Long known as one of the game's free spirits, Allen took his own unique view on life and applied it to what he hoped wouldn't be "another (lame) golf tournament." Things started out on the right note, when American Gladiator Hollywood Yates sang the National Anthem. Then, the participants had to endure harassment from Marines on every hole — distracting them on their backswings, and frequently demanding push-ups for sub-par results.
Some duffers received different consequences — UFC star Chuck "Iceman" Liddell had to blast through a Slip-and-Slide after failing to reach the green in regulation on the 14th hole. And the shotgun start at 3:30 p.m. insured that there would be nine holes of night golf. There was also a Hole-in-One contest ... at 10:30 p.m. A great time was had by all, and it was an excellent example of Allen's own attitude towards life as personified by the mullet he doesn't wear anymore — he's still "business in front, and party (with two 'Rs') in the back," and he still gets extra mayonnaise every time.
Yates may have summed the tournament up best on his Twitter feed:"
Somebody Broke some ones Nose! Greatest Golf Tournament ever!
