Former Giants catcher Buster Posey was shadowed Thursday at Pebble Beach by a sea of black and orange.
PEBBLE BEACH – The name “Buster” alone reminds fans of the greatest era since the Giants moved out west in 1957.
“Golf is nerve-racking,” Posey said, smiling. “It’s a test. Part of being an athlete is repetition. It’s not the same for us non-golfers. You can’t take yourself too seriously out here. I’m not very good.” Even if his game wasn’t as sharp as he would have liked during Thursday’s opening round at Pebble Beach, Posey waved, smiled and seemed deeply humbled by the calls of his name.
With his last appearance coming after the Giants’ third World Series title in 2014, Posey finished sixth in the Pro-Am with partner Nick Watney – who is his partner this week as well. And to a degree, Posey has returned, with an ownership stake in the franchise. He hopes that he will have a future role on the instructional side – perhaps as a mentor – with the organization in spring training.
Outside of a shade of gray along the sides of his hair, Posey still has that youthful face, with a smile that beamed like the sun off the Pacific Ocean.
