Gary Player warmed up in the dark for an hour to hit a simple ceremonial shot
Being the honorary starter at the Masters is just an excuse for the Black Knight to get in another pre-dawn workout.
This is your reminder that Gary Player is the most fit 80-year-old man you know. Player continued his duty on Thursday morning as one of the honorary starters, joining Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer on the first tee at 8:05 a.m. ET. It’s just a quick shot, some waves and handshakes, and then he’s out of there. But since this is Gary Player, he had to show up 72 minutes before he was due on the first tee to warm up in the darkness for what is just a quick, non-competitive shot.
He’s going to outlive us all and do this for another 50 years.
