In 1970, Morey was at university and passed De Vicenzo at the Ranelagh entrance.

I even took some of my golf clubs to school and hit balls from one rugby pitch to another.” That was my first close moment with Roberto. “I was sent to a boarding school called St George’s on the outskirts of Buenos Aires and my father travelled to London and brought me my first set of clubs thanks to a letter signed by Roberto in about 1962 or 1963. “He used to play for Dunlop in those days and my first set of clubs were a gift from him,” he said.

It was there that the two first met, De Vicenzo the world-famous golfer and Morey the Buenos Aires schoolboy who idolised him. Morey is in his third term as president of Ranelagh Golf Club, the club in Buenos Aires where De Vicenzo was a member and a frequent visitor until very late in his life.
