I am Jeff Maggert Jeffrey Allan Maggert (born February 20, 1964) is an American golfer.Maggert was born in Columbia, Missouri. He attended Texas A&M University and turned professional in 1986. . Not the Maggert who had a two-stroke lead going into the final round of the Masters. Try the one who smacked a fairway bunker shot off the lip that almost gave him a fat lip. Trying to top that, he drowned two balls on the same par-3 hole - from both sides of the green.

The quintuple-bogey 8 on the famed 12th shoved him even further back. Who even knew ``quintuple'' was a real word? In a morbid way, it was like enjoying Pete Weber roll a 121 in a championship match.

But somehow making the ball come back and tattooing your chest, chin or forehead can't go unnoticed on the scorecard. According to Arnold Palmer's great resource book, ``Playing By the Rules,'' Bob Murphy violated the same rule yet suffered a more embarrassing episode in the GTE GTE General Telephone & Electronics GTE Génie Thermique et Énergie (French) GTE Gas Turbine Engine GTE Global Tropospheric Experiment GTE Geothermal Energy GTE Gas Turbine Efficiency plc (Sweden & USA) Suncoast Classic during a Senior Tour event in Tampa Bay a few years ago.
