Question

2008 marks the 50th anniversary for the Venturi/Palmer 12th hole ruling at the Masters, who was in the right?

Answer 1

venturi

Answer 2

The Ruling was made by the Chief tournament official.......Nobody can prove by a certainty that the ruling was wrong 50 yrs later....in my opinion.......Palmer played by the rules at the time and he won his first Masters....End of Story

Answer 3

I think we need to get Al Sharpton on this. Venturi was playing a Spalding Black Dot.
