That’s pretty cool, and kind of embarrassing for the Masters staff and FedEx. Good on Scott for hooking Scott up.

Would have been hilarious if he’d showed up and duffed his way through two rounds.

He should at least hook him up with some tickets for being a good sport.

It said he’s giving him practice round tickets and taking him to dinner Monday night. But fr only practice round tickets? For doing the right thing? Like he didn’t know he qualified and couldn’t have contacted PGA and said to my invite get lost in the mail?!? PGA should give the guy tickets for correcting their screw up and Real guy should still wine and dine the other guy for funsies and publicity.

I think that means the golf-playing Scott got non-golf-playing Scott (well, he may well play gold, just not at the professional level) tickets to participate in the practice round, and of course watch the whole event.

I hear what you’re saying, but think of it this way too; getting to watch a practice round is a lot more personal than a public game. During a public game, the player has to be in full focus mode and has to basically ignore the crowd for the most part. In a practice game, they get to actually be on the field one-on-one with the player and converse with them. Think of it like going to a soundcheck of your favourite band. It’s only you and a couple of other people in the audience listening to your favourite songs without thousands of other people singing along as well.

My husband has been to the masters and could only get practice round tickets and that’s not at all what it was like. It was just like spectating any day but happened to be practice round. Would be super cool if it was actually like you said.

All you other Scot Stallings are just imitating.

Oh no he had a great time. But the previous commenter made it sound like you’d be able to be social with the golfers if they had given you the passes. But I don’t think that’s how it is. It’s just tickets to watch the round.
