What extraterrestrial genetics does he have?

Richard was a favorite of mine 30 years ago. He was ahead of his time.

Tell him to come and share his secrets with the rest of us youngsters.

He never turned Pro....right? Looks like he could take the over 60 and in a few years the over 70 masters easy. I would do it just to finally get the card.

This guy is amazing! I remember his photo in some kind of advertisement in the 70s for an exercise gadget. He's got the aesthetics that many have lost today.
