They had a ball, literally, at Hermann Park Golf Center

Argyles, knickers, whacky plaids — the Hermann Park Golf Course clubhouse had never seen such a confusion of fashion as it did on Friday night. It was golf-style-gone-wild when Glasstire and Fresh Arts Coalition put their arty heads together for their zany fundraiser. Embracing the "Be the Ball" theme, partygoers took on everything from Caddyshack to the tennis courts to the polo fields. The frightening part of this fashion satire was that many of the so-called costumes came from  the guests' closets.

Rainey Knudson and Marita Fairbanks had their multi-plaid dresses specially made for the annual fundraiser for which they always dress in tandem. Knudson heads Glasstire and Fairbanks runs Fresh Arts Coalition.  

Channeling Caddyshack's Rodney Dangerfield, Matthew Wettergreen dispensed beer from his golf bag, never mind that it was mostly foam coming out of the dispenser.
