Ugly Remembered 1994

Ugly IV – ‘The Mayor Rides Again’

Tenison Park West
Dallas, TX

2. “The Mayor” Hayes and Jason Dixon were almost arrested (as you will see, another growing trend) for driving their golf cart across a major road to get to the Red Coleman’s and buy another bottle of Jack for the back nine.
3. Hayes and Dixon then almost destroyed their cart by guzzling the whiskey, driving down a steep hill, while trying to slalom through the trees.
