The Legend
GREG NORMAN, 52
Making golf greener, one design at a time
"This January, I'll be honored with the Old Tom Morris Award, for giving
back to the game. For one, I feel that golf should be more compatible with
the environment. Courses elevate property value and create jobs as well
as provide green spaces, filter air, and create a wildlife habitat. Doonbeg,
in Ireland, was built with shovels, not bulldozers. We moved just 26,000
cubic yards of soil and protected a microscopic snail species. In addition
to that, my tournament, the Merrill Lynch Shootout, has raised more than
$10 million for CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation. So
I'm proud to be mentioned with Old Tom. If we played each other? Well,
I'd have the edge, because of my fashion sense. I'd wear something from
my Greg Norman Collection, which is comfortable and stylish. How can
you make a full turn wearing a double-breasted three-piece wool suit?"
