A recent story involving Gary Player on the Golf Monthly website caught my attention and raised an eyebrow: “’One of the great tragedies that I have ever seen in golf' - Gary Player's impassioned plea to stop cutting down trees.”
The South African is no stranger to attention-grabbing comments but the following line from that story certainly took things to slightly bizarre extremes: “People on club committees who order trees to be cut down should go to jail for a year. I really believe that.”
