A Saskatoon golfer has become an inspiration to many at Wildwood golf course.
Hans Baumfeld hits the links five days a week, and is a bit of a celebrity, but what makes him stand out is his age — he turned 90-years-old two months ago.
Baumfeld tees off at 6:00 a.m. every Monday to Friday, unless he's rained out. He considers it his therapy.
"Well, I get up in the morning. I get up and I feel terrible, but after a couple of holes, I actually feel good,” he told CTV News.
Baumfeld only started golfing after he retired. He begins his day with yoga then from May until fall, he’s on the course.
"Just sitting down and doing nothing is the worst. I find it sitting at home and your mind isn't working all the time, or its too nice sitting at home, but then you know, you better get out," he said.
The friends he golfs with daily are only in their late 60s and are in awe of him.
