Maurice Gerald Flitcroft (23 November 1929 – 24 March 2007) was a British golfer. Flitcroft received widespread attention after shooting a score of 121 in the qualifying competition for the 1976 Open Championship—the worst score recorded at the Open Championship—and by a self-professed "professional golfer". Subsequently, he gained significant media coverage, being referred to as "the world's worst golfer". Following the 1976 Open, the rules were changed to prevent Flitcroft from attempting to enter again. Undeterred, he regularly attempted to enter the Open and several other golf competitions, either under his own name or under pseudonyms, such as Gene Paycheki (as in pay cheque), Gerald Hoppy, and James Beau Jolley. Other more ludicrous names used were Arnold Palmtree and Count Manfred v

rdfs:comment	Maurice Flitcroft (* 23. November 1929 in Manchester; † 24. März 2007) war ein britischer Golfer und Hochstapler. Flitcroft wurde dafür bekannt, dass er 1976 bei der Qualifizierungsrunde für die British Open mit 121 benötigten Schlägen, 49 über Par, die schlechteste Partie gespielt hat, die das Turnier seit seiner Gründung gesehen hatte. Der damals 46 Jahre alte Maurice Flitcroft hatte sich für das Turnier als Profi angemeldet, ohne jemals zuvor Golf gespielt zu haben. Die Medien machten aus dem Hochstapler eine kleine Sensation und nannten ihn den „schlechtesten Golfer der Welt“. Die Veranstalter änderten eigens die Regeln der British Open, um ihn an einer erneuten Teilnahme am Turnier zu hindern.
