1968 at the Masters: Roberto DeVincenzo tells the truth--------- "I am stupid". ---------- No, Roberto---you were caught up in the moment and did not realize that instead of a birdie, your scorecard showed a par, so you did NOT finish in a tie with Bob Goalby.

Roberto DeVincenzo----real gentleman, and in the Hall of Fame for winning the most golf tournaments world wide of any one in history---over 200! No one will ever come close to that record.

2009 at the Masters: DeVincenzo gives Angel Cabrera a picture of a green jacket and says, "Win one"-----meaning "Win one for yourself, for me, and for Argentina"!!

The golf gods smile down on Roberto and Angel. Perry bogies 17 AND 18. Perry bogies the last playoff hole, and Angel wins with a par.

Sometimes, just once in while, justice occurs on the golf course. We were all witnesses to it yesterday.

Yeah, I don't see it that way at all. It's justice for someone else to win 41 years later to make up for the fact that another guy couldn't check his scorecard? Just because they're from the same country and vaguely know each other?

Nah, not buying it.

So DeVincenzo shoots a 3, but writes down 4 on his scorecard. Is that what happened?

Who realized he made a mistake? Why didn't they tell him BEFORE he left the signing area, so he could correct it? Or better yet, in these tournaments why in the world do we bother with players maintaining their scorecards? CBS/ESPN know the score - it seems ridiculous to make the player keep it as well. They don't carry their own clubs, they don't have to find their own balls when hit into the woods. Is this just a throwback to the past?

We've had this conversation before. Please look those threads up if you want to talk about that.

Typical american mentality.

South american countries have a very strong sense of national pride. Top athletes from south america are not a dime a dozen, the elite few take pride in representing their country.

Cabrera winning yesterday was a national event, he won the tournament for his country, it is nothing like an american winning the Masters.

You are right. After Angel won the 2007 United States Open at Oakmont, he was greeted by his countrymen and they really celebrated. They should be proud of him. He played the last three holes yesterday in one under par. Contrast that with Phil, Tiger, and poor Kenny Perry. You can say this about Angel---he knows how to close the deal, and has proved it in both of his Major wins.

    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
