Mr. Player is a fitness nut and all natural fitness nuts strongly oppose the intake of steroids. Don't think steroids would be a lot of help in golf. There was another rumor regarding the Black Knight when playing in the first skins game quite awhile back. Something surrounding the removal of a root in the fairway. I believe it was on ABC and they edited out that sequence. Heard about it after the fact and had it on tape but never saw the violation. Many, many a golfer has been involved in a rule infraction whether intentional or, in most cases unknowingly. But I would have to say that 99% or more of Gary Players' career was/is always way above the board. He has always been a fierce competitor and respectful of the competition. He has always seemed to rub many people the wrong way also. I respect him as a golfer. Everyone has a right to their own political beliefs......off the course.
What a great weekend. THE OPEN is wonderful a lot of unusual things happening, great coverage, and the Brits are not all Woods nuts it was nice listening to the announcers finally include the rest of the field of players Tiger is not Golf and without the other players he is nothing,everyone also does not like him and mostly all the other players have a family and have to deal with the headaches of home and being away from family. So lets look for a better excuse for him ok. They all don't get appearence money and big time merchendize deals, they in the most part are toughing it out, as VJ once said Tiger who. Further more with all his records lets see him play a a tournament with a set of clubs like the used to use you know 15 clubs and you were lucky to see any of them match and the woods where made of wood and the ball well thats a whole story in itself and as far as records go the grand slam was made in one season not two players where required to play so many tournaments in one year lets face it, Woods can't be critized because it is politically incorrect Golf will go on with or without him and who gives a dam what the next great player is. Let us all remember what the King has given the sport and his popularity was made of Love, not records,or how far he could hit the ball but how he played th game he took chances and and played with abandon he created shots which players today have copied,The love the fans give him was earned which has not been equaled to any other player from Jones. Snead,Hogan and Nicklaus it's the fan that makes the sport and Palmer brought the fans too the game with him and they have never left
Translation: I'm old now and I liked it better when I wasn't.
