Augusta, ga. – There was a thought to Arby’s.
And an explanation for dead elevators.
And an image of Michael Jordan.
Because of Gary Player.
The great winner nine times can think more than the editorial page of a newspaper, and yes, on Thursday morning after hitting his ceremonial shot together Jack nicklaus AND Tom Watson to start this year MasterThe player also had opinions on the media. So enough of our words. Here are some of his, not filtered:
At Arby’s, where Tiger Woods ate while winning in 1997, and the last time the player had fast food
Buckle up. There are some turns here.
“Well, you don’t reach 90 like me if you eat a bunch of shit,” the player said. “I can tell you that. But that’s your choice. Everyone has a choice. I want to live at 100 because I love people. I love golf. I just love life.
“I have a new girlfriend – I have changed my life. What about him, at 90, finding a girlfriend? Tom is not as old as I do, but he has also found a new one. I will tell you what, guys, you or your wife will die. One of the spouses will die, and not the end of life. so my ambition is to reach 100.
“So I went to India and met a Gerontologist, and he gave me 11 things to work, which I adhere to. So I can lift dead tomorrow, but I’m giving it a hell.”

“For every golf player who decides to be a professional golf player,” the player said, “with whom we are flooded, you can essentially determine that they will not do it. To do it in the tournament, and you talk to win degrees, as we did, first of all, the concept of golf no more. It was no longer a par-4.
“So immediately, whenever they play golf, par is 68 years old. Now they are starting to run par-4s. We’ve never started. We’ve never had a big man to play golf. Wait until you get a Lebron James or Michael Jordan, with such bodies, they will ride a lot of par-4s. Greats still outside.
“Second, teaching today is much worse than when we played golf as young. … And then they are learning to suck the club all over the line. You can’t throw a ball into the basket doing it. You have to keep it in line. So get a good teacher today is an extremely difficult thing.
“Tom had a coach, and Tom today, his swinging is almost – besides his damage, he is almost as good as he was when he was a young man who took the club in the right position at the top, returning and disappearing. Junk I hear learning today.
“And the next thing is that shaking is not the thing. The thing that wins big championships is the mind. I have all seen winning six or more degrees or many diplomas have a different mind. So you can’t think the swing will do it. And you have to be dedicated. You have to eat properly.

This came from a question about who wants to win the masters, and who thinks he will win.
“I think Rory Mcilroy Will win the masters this year, “the player said,” and I hope he does because he would give golf a great incentive to have another Grand Slam winner. He has the best swinging in Golf without a question. He is the strongest golf player. It makes a dead lifter of 400 pounds. I don’t know if you are aware of what is a dead elevator. Four hundred pounds. If you make 100 pounds, it’s extraordinary. “

“Well, first of all, I think at all times in life, and by approaching 90 now, you realize that confrontation is a terrible thing,” Player said. “The confrontation and forgiveness are very important. All I can say is that they have chosen to do it, and that is their choice. And we are lucky that we still have freedom of choice. And this is their tour, and we have our tour.
“I am very proud to be a member of the PGA. I was president of our PGA in South Africa, I played in PGA all over the world. It would be great if they could gather. Whether they would or not, time would show. But it would be ideal if everyone could gather again.”
In Tiger Woods, and if he is closer to being a beginner honor than a master’s contender
“Well, I think Tiger has been too unlucky to have these injuries,” Player said. “I mean, he was starting to play again, and you get the Achilles tendon and he has problems in his back, and golf is conducive to giving you a back problem. I think almost everyone who play golf has a new hip or a spine operation of some kind, and some, their bodies are different from others. unfulfilled. ”
In a player’s relationship with the media
“This is a very important question,” the player said. “Babai im më tha – dhe babai im ishte një njeri shumë i varfër. Ai punoi në një minierë 8,000 metra çdo ditë për 30 vjet. Ai e donte shumë golfin. Ai tha, pa shtyp, ju nuk do të keni turne që ju dëshironi të keni. Po, ne mund të bënim një turne, dhe unë mendoj se duhet të keni një rregull, nëse ju duhet të bëni një rregull, nëse ju duhet të bëni një rregull, nëse ju duhet të bëni një rregull, nëse duhet të bëni një rregull, nëse duhet të bëni një rregull, If you have to make a rule if you have to make a rule.
“No one likes to have a bad round, but this is part of life, landing -raising, and you have to press and answer the questions.”
In a slow game
“Slow game is a curse for golf,” the player said. “… you continue with the game, you play, you do it. People are watching Pro Golf. Pro Golf is not the important thing in golf. The amateur is the heart of the game, not us. But they all watch us on television, and when they see us taking our time, they do it.
