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.

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.

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.

Gary is a great role model, cuz he doesn’t let his age or anything else for that matter slow him down
And also the passion he has for eating healthy,working out and just being a very healthy person!! And he is a great
Ambasitor for this great game of golf!!

Ok, Gary Player rules!

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.
