Last Masters For Player

2009 was the 52nd Masters for Gary Player, the South African and three-time Masters Champion. He says it will be the last and that spells the end of an era for this boomer golf enthusiast. Gary Player has been a part of my life in golf for almost as long as he has been playing. Goodbye, and thanks for the great golf memories, Gary!

So, what does it mean when you don't recognize most of the names on the PGATour? You can't take the club past parallel any more, you take a cart more than you walk 18 holes, you flush a drive and it goes 240 yards, and the 19th hole is a jacuzzi? Well, just like Mr. Player, everyone reaches a point where they are happy to let the youngsters have their stage. I don't mind, this boomer is still swinging.

I was looking for the video that this article on Fox Sports conveyed about his final two rounds, the standing O's for each of 36 holes, etc. But I do have this nice video which recaps his three wins at the Masters.
