Emotional farewell for senior professionals includes touching moments on the last hole
Retirees take many forms, depending on the person and career.
If you are a stable insurance broker, your delivery service may involve quiet office celebrations and rocking chairs Jokey gifts. If you are a rock star, you may be more inclined to launch a farewell journey that never really ends.
But what if you are an experienced professional golfer that isn’t enough to inspire the special thing about the golf channel, but a popular character who decides to hang on the spike?
At the Omega European Masters in Switzerland this week, DP World Tour veteran Mike Lorenzo-Vera chose a sweet and low-key way to say goodbye.
His signature is not surprising. In April, the 40-year-old Frenchman announced that he planned to call his exit when he wrestled over his ongoing mental health issues. Enough. He has been in the 2019 PGA Championship at Bethpage Black for nearly 300 times and has played in eight Grand Slams at the 2019 PGA Championship held in Bethpage Black.
Championship Golf has paid the bill and then paid some. But the personal expenses have become too steep.
“I could have said that I had a wrist injury, but I was just a brain injury,” Lorenzo-Vera told Eoructortour.com. “It’s important because I’ve received a lot of news that I’m talking about their lives. It’s just advice to speak to someone.”
According to his decision, the only question left by Lorenzo Villa is when and where.
He chose the right time and place.
For Lorenzo-Vera, the Omega European Masters is full of meaning. Ten years ago, Lorenzo-Vera learned about his father’s death while competing. He is sure that the game and its scenic Crans-Sur-Sierre venue will provide Bid Adieu with a “perfect” setup.
The person surrounding him is also very suitable.
Lorenzo-Vera paired with friend and compatriot Marciel Siem and Alexander Levy, who released the opening of the round 73, which he backed up with a score of 75. He won’t advance, but at least his company has dropped, and by daytime, it’s better.
His two young daughters joined him as Lorenzo-vera marched along the fairway (9th hole) on his last hole (par 9th).
“I’m all over the place, but at least with my friends and family,” Lorenzo-Vera said.
For his last shot as a Tour pro, he fell a putt. He then hugged his game partner, his children still beside him, leaving the green and into the rest of his life.
