He probably hopped off ten seconds later and called it a day.

I've heard some stories about Gary Player and his "fitness" routines…

At his age I doubt anything works properly anymore.

I figured no need for a new thread - here is Gary Player doing a back flip off a boat

(also, Iacas - care to share those fitness stories?)

That is probably the truth. His workouts are flakely. I am surprised he still functions at this age with those crazy exercises.

I hope I can run on a treadmill at Gary Player's age.

Yea, he’s in his 80s I think.  At that age, he’s very functional... I hope I’m able to attempt flips off a boat when I’m that old (or at least be capable, I have no desire to do that even today haha)

Of course he’s not impressive compared to a 30 year old

Most people would just love to be able to walk at his age! :-D

He can kick my butt on the golf course. How many times can he bench press his bodyweight?

With correct form? Maybe once....

Gary Player weighs about 75 Kg. Barbell bench press 165 lbs?

I am 59 years of age, 5'8" 185 lbs. I can barbell bench press my bodyweight 12 times

I doubt I can press my body weight, just means I need to lose weight :-P

There's no way he lasts more than a minute at that speed with that form on the treadmill.

    • Next weekend myself and two pals are hopping on the plane to Queenstown with the following itinerary: Fri: Jack's Point Sat AM: Arrowtown Sat PM: Roxburgh Sun: Wanaka Other than the front nine at Wanaka, all will be new to me. Very excited to see them all and fingers crossed for good weather. A great selection of courses in the area - Millbrook, Hills, Queenstown, Alexandra and Cromwell will have to wait until next time! Someone might point me in the direction of the best place to post/view photos as I haven't yet encountered a dedicated forum for that (no doubt user error!).  
    • Welcome to TST.   We're glad you've joined.  
    • Day 5: 2/12/25 Weight shift drills followed by putting through 50 mm gates. The more upright I putt the better I have been doing. 
    • Hello all My name's Conor.  I'm from Scotland and have lived and golfed there and in Ireland for many years, but am currently based in Auckland. Have played golf for many years with periods of more or less activity/improvement. Keen to get stuck in to TST and thought I would say hi before I lean on your collective wisdom when I post the first video of my swing! Cheers   Conor
    • Day 7: 2/12/2025 Didn't have much time today. I had to use it wisely, so it was slow motion swings in front of the mirror. Really focusing on the timing issues I've been having and making fluid transitions with my weight.
