OT - What we all want...

[MClutterbuck]

91 young years and can still play... see who can tell me who he is.

[Tim Gavrich]

Given he's in Latin America and PGA Latinoamerica is in Argentina this week, Roberto De Vicenzo?

Mucci??

[JMEvensky]

Mucci??

Work on your reading comprehension. The OP said 91--Mucci isn't a day over 85.

An almost perfectly banal sentiment, carefully crafted as is his wont but barely rising above pithiness

Roberto, on the other hand, looks like a million bucks, and 'signifies' more in that one swing than a hundred bits of fluff from Kundera

.... at that age, to be upright and breathing.  I have little hope of playing much of a game past 70, but I take solace from the knowledge that I will have the time and perhaps the inclination to read the "Macdonald's Merion" and "IST Is A Fraud" threads in their entirety.

Simply beautiful

Snead and de Vincenzo
awesome waggles-awesome fluidity

[MClutterbuck]

Correct, Roberto De Vicenzo. Ceremonial drive only today, but still plays 9 holes daily.

[Ricardo Ramirez Calvo]

The best Latin American players of all times together for the first time at the ceremonial drive of the America's Golf Cup.




PS: The name of the lady is Alejandra Martínez, before anybody asks.

I haven't seen Johnny Gould of Royal Cinque Ports for a couple of years, but the last time I saw the 85 (odd) year old, he carried his own bag for 18 holes and drank most of a bottle of Rose at the halfway hut. How many people after 75 just give up the ghost? Too many, I'd guess. We're trying to get my old man on the course - he's 79 and energetic, can comfortably do 18 but still needs a cart and also his frame is way too thin for my liking. I hug him and feel like I could do him damage. Wish he had taken to the gym to build up his muscle mass years ago...

As one sanctimonious links golfer said to another, it's a lot easier to keep going when the ground game is the order of the day.

I played through a couple of octogenarian women the other week that simply wouldn't be able to play any more if the turf was lush and green. Best of luck with your dad.
