Worst Avid Golfer 25 Years Later

[iacas]

25 years after shooting north of 250 and taking a 66 on the 17th at TPC Sawgrass, Angelo Spagnolo is back.

See if you can predict his score the second time around before watching the video.

I saw that last night. I think he got dicked on that ruling.

highest score wins... not one par among them... NO SHIT!

It's got to be a nice feeling to walk onto a tee box and realize that you can shoot a 65 on that one hole and still look competent.

How is it possible to be that bad and still go out and play golf? We  are talking something like a 130 yard shot (less from the drop zone). Does he only play par 3 courses? It seems like any course with a 50 yard forced carry will doom him.

This.

He just declared it unplayable and took a drop with a 1 stroke penalty didn't he?

I'm not entirely sure. We got some rules sharpies here that could give the correct answer. But couldn't he have just continued playing the ball he hit on the green & added 2 strokes to his score - instead of lying 11 he's lying 13? I mean, let's say he didn't realize what he did & went on and played 18 & finished the round. What then? What score does he post on 17? I mean, they don't make him go back to the hole...you have to post something.

I mean, it was almost demeaning to make him walk to the green, get his ball, and walk back.

I really feel for the guy. Obviously he loves the game & has a huge tolerance for his inadequacies. If it were me those clubs would have been chucked into that lake a long time ago. But x129 brings up a great point - 25 years later & he's still horrible? My God..how many balls has he lost in those 25 years...lol.

I used to wonder about what drove people to pursue an activity they suck at, and don't make progress?

Then I began to "play" the guitar and now I understand.(I really suck at it.)

Dis-enlightenment can't be put into words either.

It's today's Reality TV plus nerves on the tee. Where's the drama if he puts the first shot onto the island? More fun to watch him  be wet and talking to himself.Then they make up the "rules violation" that was rescinded.

I hope he got better, but I know people who love the game, been playing for decades,  and couldn't carry 130 yards anymore unless you gave them a wood and 3 tries..
