GLEN ALLEN, VA — Second-year member, Scott "Z" Zavinski, has officially signed as the 27th player to the 2006 Carl Spackler Open Championship. It has long been rumored that Scott would attend, but Z's sponsor, Mulligans Bar & Grill, would not allow an official press release until his check cleared and Scott promised that all his mulligans would be announced without a direct tie to the Bar & Grill.

"Z's physical skills alone could place him atop the Leaderboard for a day or two," says Mike Herron. "However, it will remain to be seen whether or not he can stand up to the mental stress of playing his 2nd major championship and against a record field size. He might be wearing the dreaded outfit."

Even Joe Butkus has some doubts, "I've played hundreds of rounds with Scott, and I'm not sure he can overcome the amount of pressure of a major championship."

Some existing members are worried about the increased level of competition. "I've played with him and he has what it takes", said Kevin Long, Jr. "I have seen him make a 3-foot putt with authority. That is enough for me to not rule him out for the coveted jacket."

Scott's presence at the Carl Spackler Open Championship is greatly anticipated. Based on his stellar performance off the tee with his chicken wing, Z will be giving everyone fits.

The 2006 Carl Spackler Open Championship begins on June 8, 2006 in Clayton, NC. Player preferences begin on February 15.
