In 1968, on his own 45th birthday, golfer Roberto De Vicenzo shot the best round of his life — good enough to force a playoff at the Masters. Then he lost the green jacket over a pencil mark he didn't even make. His playing partner wrote down the wrong score, he signed the card without catching it, and the rulebook said the signature was the truth now, whether or not it matched what actually happened. His only response: "What a stupid I am."

In this episode of Keep Buggering On, we follow that story wherever it leads: into the actual Masters rule that cost a man a major championship, into the very human habit of signing off on things — expense reports, performance reviews, forms — without double-checking them, and into the fact that it took professional golf fifty-six years to fix the rule that broke Roberto's heart. Along the way, there's a personal detour involving a disastrous first round of golf, a butterfly with impeccable timing, and a well-timed kiss that intercepted a swear word before it could escape.

Everything in this episode is true. None of it is going to make you feel better about humanity. That's the deal. Keep Buggering On is connected to KBO Standard Supply — find us at k-b-o-standardsupplyllc.com — where the store is coming together one phrase at a time.
