No matter what walk of life you are in, we all feel better both physically and mentally when we get in shape. I often think when watching the senior guys who have just let themselves go, like the always entertaining Fuzzy Zoeller who hasn't seen his feet in years so engorged is his now enormous belly, if they'd just eat and drink a little more sensibly to go with all the walking they do, their games would be more competitive.
Bernhard Langer is case in point as is Gary Player, both of whom are still within 5 pounds of their fighting weight when they were 25.
I was pleased to see Mark Calcavecchia trimmed down and playing and in particular putting like the 1989 Open Champion he is. However his route to a slimmer figure was a painful one.
After slipping at his brothers house his right hand went through two panes of glass, slashing a tendon and leaving a finger dangling. He couldn't swing a club for 3 months, now here he is six monthe later.
Calcavecchia made a 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole Saturday for a -4 68 and a one-stroke lead at -9 going into today's final round of the Champions Tour’s Principal Charity Classic.
Joe Durant is second after a 68. Paul Goydos, Brian Henninger and Michael Allen were tied for third at 7 under, all shooting 70.
Rod Spittle is having a fine week T6 68 70 -6, while Jim Rutledge who continues to struggle this year is at +3
