80 Year Older Gary Player Hole-in-One


Recommended Posts

Did I catch the video right, if you listen closely at end... I think he says that is his 35th hole-in-one? Man, that is a ton of golf... Was I mistaken hearing that?

 

Sharp as a tack in his counting...

 

The announcer said it was his 31st. Just incredible.

 

Nine overall holes-in-one during the par-3 tourney yesterday, an all-time record.

AMAZING!!

 

What a wonderful new memory for him.

 

Many many years ago I had the pleasure of

spending a few minutes around him at The Colonial Golf Club in Fort Worth Texas. He was all class that day.

He opened a course many years ago here in southern Colorado and I had the chance to meet him. He was exactly as you said, class act all the way.

 

That being said, in interviews I think he kinda comes off as a little smug. Gary's never shy about telling a "how great is Gary" story. A few years ago in 2008 he was on a crusade to break Arnie's record for playing in the most Master's. When the media asked Arnie about it that week, (and I wish I could find the link), his response was classic Arnie: "Who gives a s&%#?" :lol:
