Watching these old replays of the Masters reminds me of why I feel in love with this tournament and the game all those years ago. Keeps me motivated even now at 66.
Scott Hoch's open stance w/ his front foot to the left on the 2 ft sudden death putt killed its chance. He lined up for the putt to take that exact trajectory. At 17, Hoch also has a crucial 3 foot putt for par, set up front foot out and missed left. I realize it's easy for me to criticize, but had Hoch been aligned w/ the hole he'd have a green jacket.
Faldo's 3-iron on No. 11 in the play-off was a thing of beauty and Ken Venturi's commentary was the perfect match for it. One of the shots I'll always remember having watched the Masters on TV since the early 70s.
Been rewatching old Masters…well my own first memories of golf is Woosnam in 1990 holing that putt at 18. But I have to say Norman is up there in nearly everyone from mid 80’s to mid 90’s. How on earth did he not win a Masters. An old wise dedicated golfer once told me Norman sold his soul for money and that was in the early 90’s. 👀😅⛳️🏆🖤
¡The blast from the past! In the morning listen to The Beatles, in the afternoon watch a couple of Colombo chapters on TV, and then later you see Faldo winning the Masters.
This brings back fantastic memories...i was 10yrs old had not long been playing golf and used to sit up late with my dad watching the masters dreaming of one day playing this beautiful course....watching my heroes play this wonderfull game!! I wish I could go back to that time just once more I miss it so much!!
I got into golf in the early 2000s, so these were the days when I'd put on golf so I could fall asleep, lol, but it's so amazing I can sit and watch this like I'm back in those times. I feel for Scott Hoch. I can only imagine how many times he's replayed that putt on the first playoff hole—the one on the 17th, too. Now, if I time this right, I could watch a final round of the Masters every day starting today, and it might be April when I'm done💡
I always promised myself that after my made putt that broke 100 for the first time I would raise my arms like Faldo did at 3:23:42.. This spring I finally did it...I looked a bit foolish - it was a tap in - but I still enjoyed it.
