Gary Player and I go back a long way 😄 First met him in 1958 I think it was, at a tournament in Edinburgh. I was 21 and he was 22, a young hot shot from South Africa. I had heard about him and I wanted to see him play. It was a Saturday and he was not really in contention. There might have been a half-dozen fellows watching him. I followed him for most of his round and he chatted to us as he shot a 66. Not long after i emigrated to Canada and only saw him on TV. Ever since I have admired him and followed him with interest. I still play and can also shoot my age. Long live the Black Knight!
That's hardly going back a long way. You met him once.
I thought you meant you regularly met him.
Good Old Gary Player. Still got it at his age and loves what he is doing...A Great Golfer....Played with some of the best, Jack, Ben, and Arnie...What a life....Thanks....
Brilliant Andy, many thanks to PXG and Gary for making this happen.
Glad you enjoyed it
Player is a great man. I met him a couple of times and even played 2 holes with him 15 years ago. Very friendly and signed our picture together. Truly a Golfing Gentleman.
There's nothing more that Gary likes than playing golf and talking about Gary 😆
And of course, collecting a check
As a serving Police Officer I once had the pleasure of accompanying Gary around Wentworth when he was playing in World Match Play Championship, what a man, polite, friendly and 100% GENTLEMAN and at the end of the day he thanked me for my time.
Met Gary a number of years ago at a Johnny Miller champions challenge. Ran into him after most everyone had gone home and he came right over, chatted with me, signed my program and was really in no hurry to be somewhere else. What a treat. Great guy, fabulous emissary for golf and genuinely likes people. And always a positive attitude. Great interview.
72 now - age, not golf score! Gary Player is inspiring for older golfers and although I could never get to his level of fitness (nor golf ability) it might be time to take care to follow some of his fitness advice, golf tips and general life thoughts. Great to see him so active at nearly 90 and hope he will indeed break 100 - that's break through the age line. I'm sure he'll always beat his age on the golf course every time he plays. What a game we all enjoy and how well served we have been served by the stars of our sport over the years. What a thoroughly enjoyable half hour this video has been. Please repeat another time soon. Half an hour with golf chat and questions is immensely welcome. BTW I was given a golf glove by Gary Player during filming of the Big 3 golf at St Andrews back in the mid60s - he recognised that I'd been at Carnoustie the previous day. He called Arnold Palmer over and he gave me a golf ball.
Very enjoyable to watch. I could listen to him talk about golf all day! Andy, your pleasant demeanor is a perfect match for talking with him.
Much appreciated
Gary has just topped me back up with desire and enthusiasm. I have felt a bit sorry for myself recently, and that was like a tonic. Cheers to you both.
Hope you are feeling better bud 👍
Andy you have just had a priceless gift of lifetime! A playing lesson from Mr Player I so wish I where walking in your golf shoes on that day .👣
From 6:29 to 7:50, absolute gold, well done Andy for getting Gary to talk (not that it is hard 😀)!
Gary Player is great. It's always great to see people who have accomplished so much be so nice and humble - and funny! A lot of that has to do with his generation. "The greatest gift to any person is adversity." Wow, so true. We learn so much and achieve so much from going through adversity. I agree with him, I'm an American and to me The Open is the best major. That area is the birthplace of golf and I believe the best test of one's all around game. I love watching it every year.
A day you'll never forget you lucky boy. Gary is an absolute gentleman and while long in years is still young at heart and an inspiration to all us ageing golfers. He played our links in Tralee last year where I had the pleasure of meeting him and those of us that saw him on the range and on the course were left awestruck. On the first tee he said the golf swing was "all in the hips" and proceeded to spank his drive 200 yds + down the fairway into a draught. Great video !!!!
@@kieranocallaghan8197 such an impressive human being
Tralee is golfing heaven my favourite in Ireland and a wonderful tribute to and memory of Arnie
This wonderful man has given us so much pleasure and now he gives us oldies so much hope❤
Great words
You lucky lucky man, he is one THE greats of our game. 9 majors proves that and when you know the people he played with proves his quality. Palmer, Nicklaus, Trevino, Watson to name 4.
When I 1st tried golf in the 70’s he was one of the stars then and had to battle to overcome adversity, I read his autobiography years ago and even then he would not ease in the daily fitness regime to allow him to compete at the top.
He is one of the people who I would love to meet and shaken hands with. My dad had a small paperback which was a collection of Gary PLayer golf tip strips that used to be in the express/Sunday express the number of times I read that.
Loved this, keep your head down 😁
A brilliant, unique individual and one of the greatest golfers to ever play the game, l was fortunate enough to spend the day with him 25 years ago the day after he won his 3rd Senior British Open at the age of 63, a truly amazing human being x
Absaloute delight to watch and listen to everything gary had to say, such an up lifting video, thankyou, 👍
I always admired Mr. Player's out look on life, the game, and his fitness.
Andy, I truly enjoyed this video. Very goOD questions you asked. What a day at the golf course. I am playing PXG irons for the past six months because of you. The irons are really good. Thanks
Thanks Richard, hope the irons are doing well
Mr. Player… what a great man and a man to be listened to
Andy , what a wonderful video. You are a lucky man to spend such a special, personal time with one of the legends of the game.
Gary really is a philosopher as well as a great golfer. He reminds us that golf is quite a simple game if you have a clear mindset.
Fabulous.
👍
Yes it was a shock to find it would be just me and him wandering the fairways, a real honour
You and Gary Player talk about adversity. If you want to see true adversity come and watch me trying to hit effing driver straight 😂
Great to see a living legend still so sharp and still swinging the club. Thanks Andy for sharing this video.
Player is a consummate pro and gentleman; just uncommon sense in a maniacal world. His stories are other worldly.
Undisputably your best Andy, thanks for sharing this magical experience.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a great video with Gary Player. Too bad you could not play more holes with him Andy. He is a very passionnate man with an increadible history. Thanks for this.
Got to See Gary, Jack, Lee, Tom and Anika chop it around in Houston this year. Player is amazing. I regret not walking up to him and gifting him a Black Golf Ball. He is truly amazing.
Just the most wonderful video you've made Andy. Love all your stuff, but your interaction with this awesome human being will be with me for a long time. It was more than lessons in golf (Which we love), it was, more importantly, lessons in life. I say 'The king is alive, long live the king'.
Yes some very wise words
One of the best RUclips videos I have enjoyed in years
Glad you enjoyed
Not using a buggy has to be good fitness! 😊. Keep on slugging Gary, what a Player! ❤
This was one of the best videos ive seen on your channel Grateful to have been here to see it
Thanks
What a surprise! Gary Player is remarkable, won The Open in 3 different decades and still playing a decent game 50 years on since his last Open win. A day for you and subscribers to remember
A really outstanding episode…so much wisdom in Gary Player‘s words!
Much appreciated
What an honour for you Andy, well earned, hope you enjoyed the day.
Gary was my inspiration as a young golfer, and it’s great to see he still has it. Talks the talk and can still walk the walk, literally. Fantastic episode, Andy, thank-you.🫡
Couldn't agree more
What a special video Andy. Loved the pearls of wisdom that Gary Player sprinkled throughout this episode and so pleased for you that the business relationships you have developed are leading to these fabulous opportunities. Keep up the great work.
Have a few memories (and autographs) of Gary. followed him round at both PGA tour and Senior tour events. A member of the most elite group of 5 to win all 4 majors. Must've been a great day on the course and looks like you virtually had the course to yourselves which is always special. Great memories of Dornoch, Cruden bay, N. Berwick, Carnoustie from decades back when they were very affordable (St. Andrews was about $25 then!). Having to use driver on a par 3 (and not reaching the green) is quite something, much like Troon this year...
Amazing Andy and a dream come true for any serious golfer. Really enjoyed it and enthralled from start to finish. Thank you Mr Player
Wow Andy, what a great video! That man is pure legend! To be that clear of thought, that articulate, that agile at 88!😮 He is honest and a gentleman as well. I hope he lives to see his 100th. What a great day for you Andy thanks for sharing with us. Long live the Black Knight!
Wow what a video. Mr. Nicklaus has always been my favorite, bur Mr. Player was my second. So much knowledge on how to play the game. And to play as good as he does at his age is amazing. Thanks Andy and Gary for the video.
Yes he has the voice of wisdom and experience and never seems to lose his appetite for the game. Great golfer and man.
Loves every minute
My friend of mine had Gary stay with him in BROXBOURNE UK. HE used to run up and down his stairs to stay fit. You can ask him. My friend name was BRIDGEMAN. He and his wife and me and my wife married on the same day and witnessed each others marriage. I watched Gary at ROYAL Saint Georges in 1976 on the Golf range and it was an education as to how good that man could strike a golf ball. Nothing like the ugly looking swings that won him titles at times as seen on TV. Obviously method behind those swings. ABSOLUTELY silky smooth. What a player was Player in the professional ranks.. LOVE HIM my friend did.
Love and gratitude. Gary summed it up perfectly!
Wow, that was fun. A nice looking course and great conversation between a couple of guys who love golf. Great primer for the Open. Thanks again Andy
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent andy and pxg, what a lovely gent with some very sound advice. Joy to watch.
A highlight video!!! So glad you got to spend some time with a Legend. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it
Your living the dream Andy us mere mortals wish for keep up the great continent mate stay well 👍
Only thanks to all that watch the channel Dave
Congratulations Andy on getting to meet and play golf with Gary Player.
What a thrill; to play with a true legend. Have only just recently discovered your videos and really enjoy them, Relaxing and easy to watch.
I had to add another comment. I've been confused with my take away for a long time now. After watching you and Gary, I went to the simulator and tried to apply what I learned. It finally makes sense. I get it. So thanks Andy. 👍
Excellent!
Only one thing could top Andy and Gary walking the course, and that would be Arnie and Gary walking the course.
Congratulations on the experience of a lifetime, Andy
Absolutely

Couldn't agree more
Gary Player was my favourite golfer when I was a kid. And in my opinion the best Iron player ever.
Totally enjoyed this, Andy. Gary is one of my favorites.
Glad you enjoyed it
Always my favourite as a young lad. Still as fit as flea. A credit to himself 👍
Such an enjoyable video to watch. I should be so lucky to meet Mr. Player and pick his mind, maybe to play some with him!
It was an honour
Great stuff Andy! He is a legend.
Couldn't agree more!
Unreal experience that I bet. What a character.
It was surreal
great video Andy with the legend that is Gary Player, many thanks
Thanks 🙏
One time someone asked me if I could play golf with any body in the world who would it be, my answer was; first choice my dad who passed away when I was little, second was Gary player.
What a fantastic day , happy days Andy ⛳️⛳️👍👍
Unreal mate just glad I didnt top one off the 1st!
@@TheAverageGolfer you swung it really well especially with a few butterflies ⛳️👍👍
Gary Player walking up the fairway after a stripe, using his driver as a cane, talking about the prestige of The Open. Legend
