The now red-faced Masters officials at Augusta National owe a second part-time golfer named Scott Stallings a big favour.

A second Scott Stallings?  Yes, there’s two Scott Stallings and each has a wife named Jennifer.

The officials running next April’s Masters are currently enduring worldwide embarrassment after mailing an invitation to tee-up in the 87th Masters to a non-PGA Tour golfer named Scott Stallings, who resides in Georgia when the invitation should have been sent to the three-time PGA Tour winning Tennessee-based Scott Stallings.

The pro-golfer Stallings last contested the Masters in 2014 but knowing that qualifying for the 2022 FedEx Cup finals would earn him an invitation, he looked forward with excitement to the formal invitation postmarked ‘Augusta, GA’ arriving in his post box.

And while many others heading to this year’s Masters were tweeting their prize invitation, Stallings was checking his letter box a few times each day wondering where was his own Augusta invitation.

Well, thanks to a second Scott Stallings we know the answer as Augusta National sent the invitation to the wrong Scott Stallings as the pro golfer Scott Stallings revealed the bizarre but also hilarious full details in a tweet.

What chance is there of being two Scott Stallings and what chance also their wives sharing the same names?

Yes, it’s an understandable mistake but with the mistake emanating from the one of more exclusive sporting clubs in the world is clearly not acceptable.

It’s why Augusta National should be thanking the second Scott Stallings for his fine gesture in getting in touch with the Scott Stallings, to whom the invitation should have been directed.

Just think what an embarrassment it could have caused if the invitation had been sent to the second Scott Stallings just weeks out from the April 6th commencing Masters but you can bet Augusta will take steps this mistake will not happen again.

And here’s betting that if Augusta National does not come good with a patrons pass to the second Scott Stalling that the golfer Scott Stallings will be offering his namesake player’s passes to both he and his wife, Jennifer.

FOOTNOTE – Wednesday 4th January

As predicted by GolfByTourMiss above and Scott Stallings, the PGA Tour player, has reached out to his namesake, and a realator in Atlanta, GA and offered him the opportunity to attend the 2023 Masters.
