About 500 miles away in Knoxville, Tenn., Scott Stallings, the pro golfer, was checking his mailbox multiple times daily — anxiously awaiting his invitation to the prestigious annual competition. Invitations for the April tournament are sent to eligible players the week before Christmas and the golfer knew he had qualified.“Hi Scott. My name is Scott Stallings as well ... I received a FedEx today from the Masters inviting me to play,” read a message penned by the realtor’s wife on his behalf.
“The envelope went to his old office, right around the corner,” Stallings the realtor told The Inquirer in a phone interview. “UPS redirected it.”The tale of two Stallings goes viral “Whenever he’s in a tournament, I try to take a snapshot of his stats on the TV and repost it on my Facebook,” the realtor said. “It was just my own little thing. I’ve been doing it for years.”, “it’s unclear if any of the other 74 Scott Stallings on Facebook do the same. Like the Scott Stallings who works at Walmart in Ada, Okla. Or the one who’s a technician for Raytheon Technologies in Danville, Ala. Or the ones in Dunn, N.C., Custer, Ky., or Redlands, Calif.
When asked if he entertained the thought of just keeping the invitation and going himself, the realtor joked: “That lasted all of about five minutes and then reality set in. I couldn’t imagine just showing up.”
This is so funny!
