Shake a leg for Irish Open’s Wacky Trouser Day
Organisers are calling on ladies and gents alike to unleash their inner John Daly and arrive to Fota Island Resort in their craziest shorts or trousers this Friday, June 20.
Entrants will have the chance to win a host of goodies, not to mention the prestigious 'wacky fashion' crown.
First prize is a €500 voucher for Emirates airline, the official airline of the Irish Open.
Winners will be selected by Catriona Buckley, Irish Examiner; Margaret Shannon, Country Manager for Emirates and Antonia Beggs, Championship Director of the Irish Open.
Two-time Major winner John Daly is sure to be forefront in their minds when selecting the day's golfing fashionistas.
Ms Beggs explained: "John Daly is probably the most interesting fashion icon on the course and we’re inviting all visitors to the Irish Open to pay homage to John and shake up the fashion status quo on day two of the event, Friday 20th June.
"Our fashion spotters will be keeping an eye out for possible winners and there may even be a wacky trousers parade to showcase the best entries."
The Irish Open takes place from June 19-22 at the Fota Island Resort.
The event will be playing host to some of the world’s leading golfers such as Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell, Padraig Harrington and Darren Clarke.
