You have to have a great sense of humor if you’re going to play golf, and it’s unlikely anyone in the last 100 years or so had a better sense of humor than Robin Williams, who tragically committed suicide Monday.
Williams’ rant on the Scottish – golf’s inventors – is one of his most classic bits (although it’s quite NSFW).
Golfers poured out their emotions and remembrances via social media on Monday for Williams who once joked, “Golf, where you can dress like a pimp and no one cares.”
Highlights included:
Rory McIlroy: RIP Robin Williams … He brought joy to so many people all over the world, will be fondly remembered and sadly missed.
Gary Player: RIP. Robin Williams. Oh Captain, my Captain. Carpe Diem. You will be missed.
Greg Norman: “My fav comedian of all time is no longer with us. As I take off I am in a state of shock. RIP Robin Williams u were to good a man to b gone.”
