Player, Booth pose nude for ESPN the Magazine
Once a year, ESPN the Magazine releases its “Body Issue” and the golfing world has been well represented by the likes of Camilo Villegas and Suzanne Petersen. This year, ESPN went with the ultimate ambassador for healthy living in golf, 77-year-old Gary Player.
“Very few people do what I’m doing at my age,” Player told the magazine. “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.”

As a huge fan of the Black Knight, I have become more of a fan of the life he leads than his golf. His workout regimens are legendary as seen in this video link below.

Beyond the work ethic, he has an outlook on life and health that I think any person roaming this planet could look up to. In the video link below, we find Player graciously stopping to discuss the state of health in the U.S. and his passion for making things better.

ESPN also honored Scottish Ladies European Tour golfer Carly Booth, who notched wins at the tour’s Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open and Deutsche Bank Ladies Swiss Open in 2012.
The 21-year-old has struggled on the Ladies European Tour in 2013, missing the cut in six of her first nine events, but her fifth-place finish on the tour’s Order of Merit in 2012 proves she has game, and the photos below will have U.S. golf fans begging for her to tee it up in the U.S.

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.
As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.
Let’s get to the gifts.
Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo
We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.
STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover
If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.
Why Golf: Putting Thing
When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.
OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes
Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!
Therabody Theragun Relief
A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.
World Cup golf apparel
Something for the soccer dads. Embrace the World Cup fever this summer on the course with custom gear to support the nation of your choice.
FootJoy Pro SL spikeless golf shoes
Give the old man a break and save his feet with the Footjoy Pro SL Men’s Spikeless Golf Shoes for some added comfort on the course.
Bushnell Wingman 2 GPS speaker
Combine all the hits as well as some game improvement with the Wingman 2 Golf GPS Speaker by getting audible distance readings from 38,000+ courses worldwide through the Wingman 2 remote or speaker.
Personalized Titleist Pro V1 golf balls
The No. 1 ball in golf is a safe bet, and the Pro V1 fits the largest chunk of the bell curve if you don’t know what ball pops plays. Add personalization for a, well, personal touch!

With the PGA Tour across the border in Canada this week, GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore stayed stateside and headed to the OccuNet Classic presented by Amarillo National Bank in Amarillo, Texas.
It’s always interesting to see what the guys are playing on the KFT, and this week certainly hasn’t disappointed so far, with some incredible wedge stamping on display.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
From the listing:

Good for him. He’s earned it, and he has a right to be proud. Some of you among the more ignorant ought to get a clue about the positive influence this guy has been on the game for over half a century, not to mention the fact that at one time he was one of the three best players on the planet.

and gary will say “You will never see Jack or Arnold or Hogan pose naked like I did..and I have done it over 1,000,000 times in 5,000 countries!!!
all while living on one raisin and a piece of grass.

Takes much more than 15 minutes to be 77 and be in such incredible shape, not to mention one of the top 5 golfers of his generation! Pretty sure he’s earned that 15+++

Amazing ignorance. Gary Player’s “15 minutes” has lasted more than half a century. How long did yours last?

You’re a joke, joke. Not in a million years could you ever be as good as he has been or do as much as he has done for the game.

Interesting that the two photos of Gary Player show him in an athletic posture while only one of Carly Booth’s does. Seems like framing female athletes a particular way continues.

Your too funny?
They didn’t put carly in an athletic pose like Gary?
Ok… So she holds a giant golf ball above her head like he does…. And it would expose her breasts…
Duh!
I am European minded & wouldn’t care should female athletes go top & bottomless…
But since its mainstream USA mag…. Dude… Females cannot do all the poses the men can.
