Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>With regard to George Archer signature on the 2006 Masters flag. He died maybe 6 months before the Masters itself took place. Is it out of the question that the flag existed that far in advance of the tournament itself? That they make them ahead of time, maybe even in batches of years? It's not like it's a highly dynamic graphic design. It stays the same pretty much - maybe they even have them made up through 2015 or something.<br /><br />I know it sounds like these guys are not only crooks, but they are (inexcusably) sloppy crooks. Still, I think signing for a dead guy is really so careless that maybe it's even beyond some of these guys. <br /><br />So I'm thinking that maybe, is it possible, that someone was gathering actual signatures on a flag that existed 6 months before one of golf's biggest events? Yeah, I'm thinking it's possible.<br /><br />Or it's at least as possible as someone that makes a living forging famous signatures making the stunning blunder of forging a dead guy. I guess it's beyond my comprehension that someone could be that stupid. <br /><br />J
