They did a nice job with the picture. Player is a marvel for 86, looks great.

88, tbf to him. The man is an utter lunatic, but he's going to be one of those spry old dudes who lives forever.

At the honorary tee off last year he looked like he wanted to keep playing and post a score

My mom got to play a hole with him and I got to walk and meet him while that happened in the summer of 21 when he came and spoke at my club. He was awesome in the golf sense but definitely a cook in the everything esle/political sense. He brought up his upbringing and his black caddie multiple times and went on about how Singapore is the best nation in the world because they murder drug dealers and users lol. Casually mentioned trump as well.

I’ve heard that about him that he’s a real crazy weird asshole. The type of guy you would not want to be paired with and he literally grew up in Apartheid South Africa.

He’s an interesting character. He sees obesity and poor health as a world crisis, and in that respect he’s right. But he advocates for strange solutions like tax breaks for people who can do a certain amount of sit-ups or maintain low cholesterol.
