Christy O'Connor snr (himself) aged 91. Greatest Irish golfer of all time.
In the 1990's I had a corporate golf invite to Gleneagles. They had Christy O'Connor snr there giving lessons. I had about an hour to wait for my tee-off time and decided to enter the putting competition. As I was waiting to start I looked over to where Christy O'Connor was giving the lessons. I saw that he was on his own with nobody about, so I dumped my putting competition card and went over to him. I got a 20 minute, uninterrupted lesson with him. Absolutely brilliant, special man. RIP.

When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.
