Pension parties take many forms, depending on the person and the profession.
If you are a Staid Insurance intermediary, your sending may include a quiet office holiday and the Jokey gift of a rocking chair. If you are a rock star, you may be more likely to start a farewell tour that never ends.
But, as if you were an experienced professional golf player, not as prominent enough to inspire a Golf Special, but a well -liked figure, which decides the time to hang rivets?
In this week European Omega masters in Switzerland, Dp Tour World veteran Mike Lorenzo-Vera chose a sweet and underestimated way to say goodbye.
His entry was not unexpected. In April, the 40-year-old Frenchman had announced that he planned to call him rest while fighting with constant mental health issues. Enough was enough. He would be in it for 20 years, marking about 300 PD begins a world tour and competing in eight degrees, highlighted by a T-16 showing at the 2019 PGA Championship in 2019 Bethpage Black.
The tournament golf had paid the bills and then some. But personal costs had increased very steep.
“I could have said that my wrist hurts, but it was just the brain that was hurting,” Lorenzo-Vera Europuretour.com told. “Important is important to speak because I have received a lot of messages saying that what I said was what they were living. This simply gives advice to talk to someone.”
With his decision made, the only questions left about Lorenzo-Vera were where, when and how.
He chose a suitable time and place.
For Lorenzo, European masters Omega are injected with meaning. It was while playing the event, a decade ago, that Lorenzo-Vera learned about his father’s death. The tournament and its scenic place Crans-Sur-Sierre, he determined, would make the environment “perfect” to offer Adieu.
The people who surrounded it were also suitable.
Paped with friends and compatriots Marciel Siem and Alexander Levy, Lorenzo-Vera posted a round of opening 73, which he supported with a 75. He would not make the cut, but at least he had a good company, which became even better from the end of the day.
While Lorenzo-Vera marched to the right track of his last hole (Par-5, 9th hole), he joined his two young daughters.
“I hit the ball anywhere, but less was with my friends and family,” Lorenzo-Vera said.
For his latest purpose as a tourist professional, he poured into a blow to Par. He then hugged his partners playing and, with his children still next to him, left the green and the rest of his life.
