Jean Van de Velde Experiment

I just read a great article in Golf Magazine detailing Jean Van de Velde's horrific last round 18th hole melt down in the 1999 British Open which was quite painful to watch... But was it a melt down or just bad luck? Having watched the event almost 8 years ago I have to say I did feel bad for Van de Velde. He has been through a lot since the tourney with career threatening knee surgery, though he has managed to win a tournament as recent as 2006.

So the real reason I am writing is due to Golf Magazine's video of Van de Velde playing the faithful 18th hole at Carnoustie with nothing but his putter. The clip is very entertaining, and truly reflects the power of the human spirit in overcoming a nightmare experience. Cheers to you Jean Van de Velde and good luck to you and your golfing future!

I don't like golf, but I remember that happening. The video is fantastic, thanks for sharing.
