    Once upon a time, in a glossy kingdom not so far away, there was a big, crooked nose and one very flabby belly. The kingdom wasn't so kind to that nose and that belly. As a matter of fact, the kingdom was downright cruel - some might even say the kingdom was impossible to please and judge-y and narcissistic and RUDE and full of double standards and ... stop staring at me! ... OK, look, the nose and belly never had a chance, kids. The kingdom banished them immediately. It's a woeful tale, but that's how the cookie crumbled back in the Age Before Plastic Surgery. That's how the cookie still crumbles, actually ... unless, of course, you have a good doctor who can immediately take care of both problems.

  • Win a hat: Buy a hat pin with the official Heritage symbol on it and you might win a Willie hat if you're spotted with it out on the course. "Willie" is what the staff calls this ancient golfing guy who is the symbol of the Heritage. His real name is Sir William Innes.

    The pins are for sale in concession stands. The cost is $10, with half that going to the charity selling them. The other half basically covers expenses for the Heritage Classic Foundation.
