We’ve known for awhile now that Gary Player was going to bare all for ESPN The Body Issue<\/a>, and now the photos are out, Player appearing on one of the eight covers of the magazine, and looking pretty damn good in a shot that poses him as Atlas holding up the world–the world being a golf ball, naturally.<\/p>\n\"gary-player1\"<\/a>\n

Whereas we had only Suzann Pettersen<\/a> on hand last year (not really a complaint), the bonus this year are shots of Carly Booth, a 21-year-old player who won twice on the Ladies European Tour last year, here going about as free range as possible:<\/p>\n\"Carly<\/a>\n

The tattoo on Ms. Booth’s right side has nothing to do with hip rotation. It says, “It is not the stars to hold our destiny, But it is ourselves,” a quote–well, actually, a misquote–from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Why quibble? Ms. Booth’s form looks wonderful to me. And I can only hope, when and if I hit 77,\u00a0to look half as good as Gary Player. Especially since I don’t anticipate doing 100 situps a day anytime soon.<\/p>\n
