17:38 Quote “I’m gonna practice harder than anyone else” “and I’m gonna have good manners” The best advice anybody could give ! 👍

[@scotthanosh8515]

Fun video to watch. GP is inspiring! I took his putting advice to the course and lowered my putts to 25 for the round. Didn't miss one inside 6 feet. Thank you Gary Player!!

[@bjkim2002]

I watched this multiple times and I will watch again. I will let my son watch this. Gary Player I will never forget your passion on golf!! Thanks

[@alanrad5]

I love GP's no nonsense approach to teaching and motivation. Sounds and motivates like a marine.

[@mobydoug]

Great to see such passion in a man of 82. I'm inspired. And he offers 3 or 4 very valid and valuable swing tips. Bragging? Fine. He's saying: This (all these victories) is how well this worked for me. Try it and maybe it will work for you. The determination, the fitness, the technique. They all add up. Thank you, Gary.

[@mattcorcoran7082]

I love listening to a man talk about his passion.

[@DougieFresh13]

The absolute Man. I've carried so much through into my golf game from this man since I can remember...

[@alboss3528]

Gary Player 8th wonder of the world

[@johnnyparker9928]

Excellent lesson by player. 82 years old solid as a rock.

[@darylwizzard5832]

I love him. Long live Mr Player

[@kingshearer2]

Gary should run the world. He's so knowledgeable and communicative and at the same time so humble.

[@turkeytwizzler8872]

Humble 🤣

[@Grogster2007]

GP is my all time sporting hero........didn't let stature beat him and won all over the world...........................wants to help everyone

[@philtindale4629]

You always learn from the Greats, Thanks Mr Player

[@richardmurphy539]

this guy is the greatest and most passionate man... of golf I have ever seen... fantastic talent... straight shooter... thx for everything Gary

[@neilwilliams9494]

Coming off the back of a few good rounds recently. Yesterday I was having an absolute nightmare. I remembered this video, concentrated on left arm across the chest and getting a good turn back, then a good turn through and my ball striking improved almost instantly. Can't wait to get to the range to work on it some more

[@Bob-nu3xe]

And thats why he won and achived so much in the game -passion and desire

[@Netsonar69]

This is the easiest explanation of golf ever! I have been struggling moving from low single digit to near 10 index trying everything paid $1000,s in lessons purchased three sets of clubs this year and no consistent game I Shot a 68 then followed up the next day with an 87 . I watched this video the Friday before my weekend tournament Shot two over for the tournament and missed only one fairway (first cut) played again a few days later skipped range and shot 3 over from tips (153 sloop 12 on stimp) on a quick round after work! Never been easier arm tight against body tension in back leg club straight back hands slightly inside and release my hips with full force! I always had fast hips and good rotation but I have never been able to garner a strategy to stay connected so easily all the time, The way mr. player explains the swing made driving and irons so easy thank god for Gary Player this video made golf fun for me again! I really feel like I can be consistent again! Even his putting tip helped me! I have no delusions of grandeur I am just a competitive weekend club player however this video is legit and has really made the game enjoyable again! I can’t wait to get back on the course or range.

[@QAzad]

Hello golfing friends, For what’s it worth........ So your score fluctuates by about 10 (78 to 88). We often see pros in PGA and LPGA to the same or worse. I don’t see it as a big deal but I one concern for you. Golf is so much mental game. I always play better when my wife wishes me a good game. ( She gets to keep any money I win 😉😉). Are you worrying to much about your bad score, hence, putting unnecessary pressure on your self??? Listen to the PGA tour player interviews. 99.9% they keep it positive, even on the worst day. Try to focus on all your positives and good scores before each game. You know you can shoot a good score. Believe in yourself. If you don’t, know one help you. After the round is the time to think about a bad score. But not before. You can go to the driving range or play 9 holes to fix the issues. Try working on reducing your bad score one stroke at a time; 88 to 87, 86, 85, 84, etc. One stroke at time. Good Luck to All. Q

[@MrKydaman]

Player was, and still is great.

[@masongallegos5424]

He’s so inspiring and get me jacked up! Homeboy makes me wanna he the best ever!

[@mav1733]

great tip at around the 12:30 mark, for the last two years ive been fixated by the club outside the hands method on the backswing i havent turned my shoulders properly for those two years , for the last 3 days ive stopped thinking about it and concentrated on keeping that left arm in contact with the shoulder on back swing i now got a fuller turn its on plane and striking the ball better

[@chestermicek]

Gary Player is the perfect sergeant major: he's fit, smart, and competent, but he's really tough on recruits. Here are a couple of swing thoughts that should help anyone: 1) use your shoulders, arms, ,and hands as a unit to move the club back and through, 2) you must turn your hips and shoulders so that your weight ends up on the heel of your right foot and in your right glute, 3) you must brush your left pec with your left triceps on the backswing, and you must bump and push your right pec on the downswing, 4) your hands are opposite the middle of your left thigh when your club head meets the ball, & 5) the first thing you must do on the downswing is to get your weight onto your left foot: so, you can pivot around your left leg. That's boilerplate, and no one needs to make an "E1-recruit" out of you to teach it to you.

[@DetVen]

I prefer Gary Player's method, but OK.

[@dogankeskinkilic6070]

Mr Gary Player.You are a TRUE LEGEND......

[@roeydaz]

Words of wisdom from one of the greatest golfers of all time. Of course he'll say the same thing again and again. Because it's what he believes in and what he knows will create a powerful repeating golf swing and strong golfing mind. Amateur golfers would do well to listen to him over and over....

[@sunnyduscle]

I love GP - he is the Jack Lalane of Golf!

[@paulfletcher8919]

Very inspirational and passionate man. Hope I can be as energetic at 82 years of age - Respect

[@GolfMonthly]

Paul Fletcher Well said!

[@jcee6886]

Draw the ball as hitting straight is impossible and you thereby double your chances of hitting the fairway. Grounbreaking advice from a legend. Badass 82 year old!

[@davidsgolf]

@5:36 ❤️ "You can't hit it straight! If you hit it straight, it's a fluke!" -- I never understood this when I started learning. Always tried to hit it straight, never managed it, and was always frustrated. There's a lot of simple, great advice here.

[@7884golfguru]

Absolutely fantastic,always loved Gary,been a fan when he first went to the UK back in the day

[@hiranm8944]

Incredible amount of value from the champ

[@Solo-xd6ph]

The best golf lesson ever from the master

[@alancarlyon3928]

I am 68 years young still playing every day (weather permitting) And I know exactly what Gary is getting at in what one thinks while standing over the ball on each shot! We all have done it in thinking where our hands/legs/hips should be, resulting in our up's and down's in our game, it can drive one in sane for sure! We all know how well we can all hit the ball, but never consistently That's when all the questions come into our heads and we end up changing this and that! Maybe I should take up chests? But getting back to Garry - what a mentor in wanting to help the youngsters of today in what he knows and what he has gone through in his life in playing this wonderful game which we love or hate - depending how you played? He is a fit fanatic and could give any a young pro a lesson or two even at his age! Many thanks for this video Gary and hope to see more! You are loved world wide for who you are and in what you do for others! God bless you!

[@mezanine10]

This short guy won 9 majors and the Career Grand Slam. Amazing.

[@therifleman8303]

Lots of great golf topics covered by a phenomenal passionate golfer. Key Points I picked up: course management, physical fitness, talent, eye on the ball, back & down swing, rotation...some others as well.

Excellent knowledge. Great teacher.

[@bogdancafengiu7916]

[@ysgol3]

Gary is always absolutely fascinating, mainly because he's as mad as a hatter.

[@jamesanthony5681]

He makes perfect sense.

[@danabernathy443]

you're a moron if you think Gary is mad. Love your IQ of 12

[@danabernathy443]

I agree, mad as a hatter which is not my previous comment. The more I watch him I understand why he has been treated as a 'mad hatter'.

[@ysgol3]

@@danabernathy443 LOL, thank you. I should I suppose have written 'eccentric', which Gary certainly is. My comment was affectionate, I love eccentrics !

[@mauronicolascanseco1643]

Thanks for the video content! Excuse me for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you considered - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (just google it)? It is a good one of a kind guide for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my work buddy after many years got great results with it.

[@p911c32]

Absolutly fantastic.

[@kdanks1381]

Brilliant and so simple

[@KemauSi]

...and there it is, the HOLY GRAil OF THE GOLF SWING: "...the hands come in AUTOMATICALLY!"

[@jamesanthony5681]

Gary was ahead of everybody. Lifting weights and exercising back in the 1950's, he had the energy of 3 men. With his size, 5' 7", 150lbs, he had no business winning 9 majors. Outworking, outpracticing everybody else did it for him.

[@kisong3306]

I like him. He is a great golfer.

[@suzyflorida1193]

Nut, some say? Well, guess what? We should all be nuts like Gary Player!

[@transcendentstudios6819]

Such an eccentric.

[@danabernathy443]

Gary won 9 majors and 160 professional wins. Hogan won 9 majors, Tiger 15 majors (82 professional wins), Jack 18 majors (73 wins). Why is Gary not in the same conversation as the very best of the game? Same reason Trevino isn't, same reason Sea Biscuit was disrespected. Human beings suck, Gary is the man!! What an inspiration, your integrity and drive is what matters, Gary is the man! Americans suck for not understanding that!

[@vimalmittal5603]

He is very simple and best!

Wow! I cant believe this 82 year old man can beat the asses of many young men today just with his abs! Best advice I've heard yet as well!!

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

Rory Mcilroy collapsed at the Masters too.

[@DelValPC]

Damn you Gary Player. I had finally gone back and settled on my right side hitter swing . Then I see this video and tried it. SMASH!!!!! That left arm back against the chest and then just turn works great and is easy to do. It makes so much sense that it would keep you on plane also. I'll try a bucket at the range and see if it wears me out at all. Only Tried it with ten shots and it seems effortless .

[@thomasfraser9072]

Robert Birzes agree 100 percent. Great information that Gary Player learned from Ben Hogan back in 1957 and finally got the concept correct at age 70. Ben Hogan secret finally revealed.

[@DelValPC]

Thomas Fraser I took it to the range today and was hitting draws and making really good contact. I used my core to turn and it was effortless. I'm not a rotational golfer at all but this really worked. I am a right side hitter where I just basically drop and extend my right arm right from the top and get a lot of power doing it. I'm more consistent doing it my way,but I only tried his way since yesterday. Im really considering working on his way a lot more. My only problem is I just finally got my way down pat in the last few days lol. At least I found it at 51 and not 70.

[@method341]

I have been trying the right sided swing for a few months but find it hard to hit the ball consistently. I might try this method of increased rotation

[@Saintsfanalways]

Love his golf technique, but he's also funny as hell!!!

[@Sp-mv5ki]

Absolutely fantastic information best I have seen yet from a true legend of the game!! all of these things I have struggled with and I am taking straight to my game now

[@trivu3825]

So is he trying to say the wrist shouldn't be flat or cupped at the top of the swing?

Fantastic !

[@gazandgaming2265]

I finally figured it out with the left arm across the chest. So much easier on my body also. Just turn after going across in the right place then go! Makes it so simple. My miss considerably smaller.

Crazy old man. And he's right.

[@KINGSOWN100]

If he is so worthy of great respect why did he remove sand from behind his ball when up against the clubhouse at Lytham?

[@swansonz3534]

You have no proof of that. He has an impeccable name in golf. Friends with Jack, Arn and others. Those guys wouldn't be so close to Gary if he was a cheater. Now go lay down in a corner.

[@jonm2522]

Gary is going to have a Hard On talking about all these champions.

[@dominickesposito8599]

Mr. Player -- Mr. Hogan did offer an illustration on "Page 97" of the Five Lessons that runs counter to what "everyone" teaches. -- It pertains to the role of the Back Forearm. ...In short, it silently "REVERSES in ROTATION" (45 degrees) for square impact! --- Please see HEALTHYGOLF.net for full explanation. -- Of course, your swing had the "Silent Reverse Move" virtually all the time!
