I love that Gary Player references golfers from years past. He does it a lot. He has such a feeling for the cup, love watching him speak and his lessons.
Just listening to a man like Gary Player can make you a better player the next morning! Awesome man.
I had the honor of meeting Mr. Player at the 2002 U. S. Senior Open. He walked with my brother and me under our umbrella to the men’s locker room. He was very friendly, asked how we got to the Senior Open and welcomed us. A great champion and gentleman. What a memorable time we had.
I can listen to Player and Trevino all day. These guys have spent a lifetime thinking about and practicing the game. It's like listening to an old professor talking about his area of expertise.
I saw Gary Player a few weeks ago at Milnerton Golf Club in Cape Town and I was very impressed at how at the age of 80 plus he still moves like a young man. May he live to 110!
That would be so awesome watching Gary play live. I am jealous!
What a great ambassador of the game! Respect
There is something about him that inspire and set a happy vibe to listen to when he is explaining, love it.
By far the best putting advice I've seen on here so far. Many thanks Mr Player 👏
It is so pleasant to watch the video! Thank you Gary!
Mr Player you have always been my hero in golf. One of the worlds very best players in the game of golf and always a pleasure to watch you. Love your instructional videos.
Enjoyed and learned from this one, thanks to the passion Gary Player has for the game and life. I got the yips terribly at 46 yrs old. Friend suggested a longer belly putter which I held away from my body and anchored with my left hand. Was able to release the putter head finally, developed an ok feel over time. Oddly, my distance control was good by my standards right off the bat but I had to work on line for a few months longer. Used this putter for 6 straight years. Then one day this time last year I had to rent a set on a business trip and my clubs didn’t follow the plane. I just knew I was going to get my clock cleaned so I told my group that whatever the bet was I was not going to lose more than $50, they agreed. So now I have low expectations and no worries, had 23!putts that day, won $150 with low gross and strange putter. With me, the yips came with a mind cluttered with negative outcomes and left when I firmly decided to feel it, hit it and go get it, no matter where it ended up. An example of how yips were overcome for anyone interested
Pretty cool, learn something new every day.
What a great man and a great golfer. Mr. Player is truly a great ambassador of the game.
Thank you for the tips GP!!
Deeply respect for mr player at his age this flexible and energetic it’s unbelievable.
And the interviewer is also very well spoken and very cute too
I've met him, several times.. Very Nice Man..
I love that ending. "You drive for show and you putt for dough." Her laughing. That was cute and beautiful.
Mr Player thank you for those tips on putting I use them they work and you are the greatest bunker players ever it has helped
Absolutely brilliant. Love Gary Player. I was brought up playing golf and watching Norman, Faldo and Price battle for the number one spot over the years. But from the footage I've seen of this chap, the comments he's made, the attitude and demeanor he projects, everything he says is calculated and based on a world of succint observation. You wouldn't want to listen to anyone else. Bobby Locke must've been unbelievable.
go check out lessons with bobby jones on youtube, then you'll see where he has it from :-P
Learning from one of the BEST ever
Love Gary!
He’s the man!
What a legend
One of the Big Three!
“Low for the dough, high makes you cry.” 😂 he’s the best. I love listening to the man. Fitness, non-PC. he’s a legend.
Yup!!!!
My all time sporting hero.
Love this guy
At 6:34 Gary is brilliant. What a fantastic tip. Reading the cup. Who woulda thunk!
Gary doesn't get ALL the credit he deserves. For a man to travel all those years and all those miles to play golf is amazing. Everyone talks about those 9 majors, but it's those 110 wins world wide that really tells his story. Great player, great family man & GREAT MAN. Love his course designs as well, he builds courses for us amatures. Just love Hilton Head National.
160 wins worldwide.
He's 5'6", weighs about 135 and won 9 major tournaments. Would have loved to watch him play Gene Sarazen . Two guys who got everything out of what they had. His golf tips are based on common sense. "Strike the match!".
I gaurantee you he is no more than 5'4
He is such a Special Gentleman! FR
Great advice. Use his saying to help me.
A Legend
Interesting tip to inspect the cup of the hole before doing anything else on the green, must take that up.
Great golfer and a stunt double for Norman wisdom
Legend.
How could anyone give this primo instruction from Gary Player a thumbs down?
Excellent 👌
Hi Gary good tip about chipping with a 7 iron or a 9 iron putting yips in my view are due to lack of confidence a fear of failure get your eyes directly over the ball pick your line decide how hard to strike keep your head still until the putt is on its way.
I once saw Gary Player practising, think it was at the Million Dollar at Sun City in the late 80s, early 90`s, can`t remember. He was hitting a 6 iron and his caddy at the time was standing down range... Never once did the ball go more than a meter left of right of his caddy.. Spoton deadly accurate; not to even talk about his shortgame... What a Legend !!
A great player - but more important - a real "gentleman and philanthropist".
Legend
For younger players who dont know who Gary Player was /is and think he's got a lot to say for himself, hold up. This man is a big time golfing genius, especially his short game. I wouldn't bet on anyone going head to head with him in a short game contest.. Everything I've heard him say in his clips, makes total sense (and some stuff is tongue in cheek). Fantastic self belief, built up through years of study of the game, practice and talent. Also, and this is huge, his passion for staying fit, is a key part to his success and longevity. Everyone wanting to make improvements to their game should check out all his clips.
The 1 and only
Player is a rue class act gentleman
Remarkable man; what a bunker player
Timeless advice
Wow 🤘🏼
Gary Player is a master of golf, and a master of life. He should be studied eminently more.
Awwww so cute!
Great golfer..the Black Knight
He should be a life coach. I could listen to Mr. Player talk all day. Love Gary Player.
Like how he says set the wrist as a must do, I do it the way he says not to and it works spot on for me 😂
but it looks so good gary. i want that ball flight haha
i went to the chipping green and out of 20 balls, the pitching wedge got the ball closer to the hole on average than my 56 degree sand wedge. It's just too hard to get the height and more importantly the spin correct with a higher lofted wedge. It's easier to hole out when you keep it low, too.
“You drive for show and you put for dough”
Perfect words by him
It was Jack Nicklaus who said that.
Gary's famous quote is, "the more I practice, the luckier I get".
In this video he had a variant of the Jack one: "go low for the dough; high makes you cry".
It rolls off the tongue nicely but sadly, it's completely untrue. You can't putt for the dough if you haven't been strong from tee to green. Tee balls and approach play contribute more to scoring than putting possibly can. Some people just don't want to give up on trsditions though.
@@BTal-kp1qd All very true. However, playing off the tee and driving are not necessarily the same thing...
@@interestedbystander196 The one strategic rule of modern golf is to take as much club as you can off the tee whilst still giving yourself a shot at the green. In most cases the reward you get for a good drive is worth the risk of a bad drive. Putting it 250 in the fairway every time won't win tournaments when you're giving up yard after yard to someone taking driver wherever possible. Driver wins the money now, not putting.
@@BTal-kp1qd Fair enough, but in my normal golf games, this isn't a thing. For 99.9999% of golfers, this isn't a thing.
I've never met a touring professional golfer, much less played with one.
You can't take a thing that applies only to the very very few, and say it is a "strategic rule of modern golf".
True gent
What he tells about the hole wear and tear? We should aim at the opposite side of wear and tear?
Use the Texas wedge as soon as you can. Jack and Arnold agree.
Truth
i just watched a chipping video by trevino who suggests lifting the club when you chip with no wrist action, like Steve Stricker
Each to their own. I use my wrists, my mates use a putting stroke. And they also use a Chipping club as no confidence in using Irons to chip.
I had the yips putting conventional on and off for over 7 years. The claw cured it and then the belly putter. But the claw for sure, and now, I am back to conventional and putting very very good with no evidence of yips.
Why does Mr Player flip Tiger the bird at 2:05?
@fifthof Is he racist?
I noticed the same thing. Mentions Tiger Woods, pauses, flips the camera the bird and then moves on....
@@bukinut An itch.
Gary obviously doesn't care for Tiger. Discreet and subtle. A very gentlemanly gesture.
The moment he said most people don’t understand what I’m saying, I was like I’m so confused lol
Top man. Did he just flip tiger woods off!?
Mileseey Golf Rangefinder is $ 99, it has a $15 coupon, if you need a golf rangefinder, maybe you can find ",ileseey golf rangefinder" on Amazon.
Stopping my wrist movement improved my chips infinitely. Huge respect to legends and artists like Player and Michelson; but I'll stick to the new school of chipping with less wrist action.
I will never chip with a 56° again!
Unless o'er a bunker or watered glen (thought I'd make our individual lines a rhyme.
I use my 8 iron unless I have to go over something it’s pretty good
Bump and runs baby
It’s ok to chip with your 56* just not every shot. That’s the key, pick the right club for the shot.
Wot fabulous player , I'm so glad the Springboks didn't have 15 players like Gary.
Looks like they have one now. His name is Faf de Klerk. Little guy; giant game!
Twice nightly Whiteley 😻

2:05 Tiger...(slowly throws the bird)...carries on.
saw that, had a laugh
Dude is so accurate he hit the first ball with second ball.. 😮
Yes . I thought that too. What a legend.
1463 pga tour Title
Yeah theres no doubt G.Player is a top golfer, i knew he'd have some putting and chipping secrets
Remeber that seniors thing years ago and Gary was destroying the comp ...the guy is in shape
I recently got two clubs that have helped my chipping. One is a short chipper by Mizuno, large bottom with bounce, around 7 iron loft. The other is a 50 degree Mizuno wedge with C grind and just 8 degrees of bounce, oh this has a big round head that looks so good at address that it's easy to hit a great shot. I use this to land close and stop quick most of the time. But when I'm closer in yet can't putt, I use my chipping iron for lower rolling chips. I find the 7 iron too long and don't like moving my hands down to lower part of grip. With these 2 clubs doing most of my chipping I am getting better and better with them both. I practice with the chipper because I don't get to use it that much, we got elevated and protected greens lots of bunkers etc so straight chip and roll is rare for me.
Jim Davis I barely read a third of what you wrote. Already on the second line I could tell that you're writing garbage and does not know anything about the wonderful sport of golf.
Go play softball lady!
@@legnend8195 you are just weird, please don't comment on my posts
Jim Davis How am I weird? Please explain your statement!
You write a bunch of fecies.
@@legnend8195 you're an idiot too
Jim Davis when you state an individual is an idiot you show two things:
1. You can't argue for your original statement
2. Your vocabulary and yourself have a big need for development.
My statements stand! You do not know golf and should play softball!
Don't use a chipper, why you ask? I'm glad to tell you. The chipper makes you bad, learn to use an iron for chipping. Even a hybrice suffice as a chipping tool from bump and run lies in the rough.
Grip down on the 7 iron if it's too long!
That is backing my statements. Now your turn, how am I and idiot for schooling you?
Best regards
Legnends
Interesting. I had the yips as a 16 year old. Gave the game away for nearly 15 years. Now over 40 and my putting is as solid as it ever was from 10 feet and in, problem is distance putting as the prescription specs need regular updating! 🤓
3:28 is that putting stroke still legal?
Even Gary Player was telling the camera man to film the putt.
So, the exact opposite to the other 3 videos I've just watched "must do chipping secrets"?
Fkn legend
In his own mind
HE WAS THINKING ABOUT HOLING IT 8:04
He can still win a major by the looks of it
I am a big fan of Garry, but he does get to me in him going on about weekend golfers - why? I have only three putted twice in my life and am sure I could match Gary any day when it comes to chipping and putting! The young golfers I can understand his meaning as they are only interested in how far they can hit the ball, putting is all about keeping the putter head close to the ground throughout the putting swing, the minute you bow the wrists or pick the putter up, there is no way that ball will find it's target! Mind you I am not a weekend golfer, I play every day (weather permitting) But I agree with his chipping method with a 6/7 iron, they are more going forward to the target than any lob wedge that can stop too quickly or spin to far back from the hole! You can gain better scores with better chipping and putting ability, Length helps, but if you can't chip around the greens and don't feel confident in putting, then you need to work on those areas instead of practising your long game! Garry is a great mentor but he needs to lay off the weekend golfer, we are not all that bad!
I think you misunderstand his meaning. Gary is a huge promoter of the game and really thinks golf should be made easier and more enjoyable for the "weekend golfer". His point is that the average (or less than) golfer doesn't have the club and ball control that a pro does. They see Phil flop one on from five yards off the green and think they're going to have the same result just to blade it thin and knock it 20 yards over the green. Oh and BS you've only three putted twice in you life.
he reminds me of bilbo baggens
It will be one of the saddest days in world sport, when this great man leaves us.
Keep it simple..I think I just shaved off 10 strokes..
Doubt it
@RAH Capital he literally said the opposite of a putter stroke.
Who loves Gary player more than Gary player ... No one
read more old tabloids bruh. From your local public library, lol. Happy Christmas!
Great tips. Bad camera man
Tally going for Mr Shorty
Thank you very much Sir for great words to PM Imran Khan : )
I love and respect Gary Player like no other. But I'll take the girl.
He just hit a Robin hood and then sunk a long one...the man's a God.
Three words...practice, practice, and ..oh yes.....practice!, what Gary player says is true, and, with today’s equipment, how could you not play better golf?, ill, tell you why not, because most people who take up golf never take golf lessons, so they either end up frustrated, or never play constantly or indeed give up.
Dad fuqu is the yips
So what was he saying about the cup being worn on one side ? I didn’t get it, much like Mr Player expected. :/
That second chip was going off the green if it didn’t hit the other ball

"Look at this Putt!" How!?
