Why Gary Player Posed in ESPN Body Issue

[Dogfish Head]

​

GARY PLAYER: Age: 77 Height: 5'6" Weight: 148 lbs.​

GARY PLAYER: Very few people do what I'm doing at my age. I want to show the world how fit you can be at this age and not just accept being old. I still work on my ranch, I represent a lot of companies, I do golf course design, I'm traveling seven months a year. You've got to keep moving. If you sit and watch TV on your backside all day, you're going to die.

But seriously, about the OP. Gary Player & his fitness are legendary. IMO he should be used as a worldwide benchmark for what fitness can do for your health. My dad is in his 70s & like a lot of senior citizens is beset with health issues. I'm sure a lot of it could've been prevented by better diet & exercise. If only.

That's similar to my dad. He's almost 70 and looks 40. He is a MD but he works the farm and ranch every evening and weekend harder than most of his hired hands.

Truth. My dad is 73 and still works almost every day. I think he's crazy, but whatevs.

My grandfather is 83 and he works. Blind as a bat but he drives to the office everyday...scary.

Me? I think I'll retire and play golf.
