nantonian2013 50 Posted November 20, 2023 Michael Hendry, whose leukaemia diagnosis caused him to miss the Open this year, is playing again. Played a couple of weeks ago in the Queensland PGA and is in the field for this week's Australian PGA which is co-sanctioned with the European Tour.

Salmon Mousse 473 Posted January 1 Figured this would be the appropriate place to go over this year's golf theme team submitted to the DDP. The DOA Tour: Bob Toski - JOKER (97) - played professionally but gained real fame (within golf circles) as an instructor Carl Jackson (76) - one of the most famous caddies in the game's history. The image of him embracing Ben Crenshaw, after his emotional 1995 Masters victory, is iconic. Doc Giffin (93) - Arnold Palmer's personal assistant for more than 50 years. Obit risk but tributes from notables within golf should be plentiful when he passes. Jill Thornhill (81) - Distinguished amateur player. Won the 1983 British Ladies Amateur. More recently elected president of Walton Heath Golf Club. Jack Nicklaus (83) - The actual GOAT (though I'll still partial to Hogan) continues to look rougher and rougher with each passing year. Al Barkow (92) - Prolific golf writer whose words have appeared in basically every publication to cover the game. Has also written many golf books. Tony Jacklin (79) - Been fighting lymphoma since 2014. Jack Burke Jr (100) - Oldest living major champion. Tiger Woods (48) - Every time he makes a comeback another meltdown is right around the corner. Upper body has unnatural swelled up recently and was sweating profusely, like a man who is once again heavily abusing, at his own tournament a few weeks back. Bobby Nichols (87) - 196 PGA champion Chi-Chi Rodríguez (88) - The man had style, swagger, and one of the most exceptional shoe-polished hairpieces you'll ever see. Neil Coles (89) - 55 professional wins and 8 Ryder Cup appearances Brian Huggett (87) - 16 time winner on the European circuit between 1962-1978, 1998 British Senior Open winner, 6 Ryder Cup appearances Tommy Aaron (86) - 1973 Masters champion Peter Oosterhuis (75) - English professional golfer and golf broadcaster who announced he has Alzheimer's in 2015 Verne Lundquist (83) - Voice still sounds strong every April when he mans the 16th tower at the Masters for CBS but he's carrying a lot of extra weight for a man in his 80s Frank Beard (84) - 11 time PGA Tour winner with a number of high finishes in majors David Joy (74) - Historian, author, and Old Tom Morris cosplayer. Suffered a severe stroke in 2017. Bob Charles (87) - 1963 Open champion Barney Adams (84) - Founder of Adams Golf, inventor of the Tight Lies fairway wood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
