What a legend Mr Player is. So full of wisdom. I used to play golf with my dad and I miss that so much now he’s not around. He’s so right about golf being a sport you can share with your family for life. I wish you could get Gary Player on every week!
Wow, what a treat! Gary Player, what a superb, inspirational man. I was very fortunate to get his autograph at Royal Birkdale, about a hundred years ago... couldn't stop the man talking. Brilliant!
Haha, brilliant! If I looked abit edgy, it’s because I had a time window and I didn’t want to upset Pxg, and once he got talking, I was worried we was going to go over 😂 He is so inspirational though, could listen to him forever!
What a thrill that must have been for your dad. To meet his hero and for you to be in the position to arrange that for him. Something he will remember and treasure for ever. Well done Gary.
Absolute Treasure Gaz. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Gary Player is a living legend and one of my favourites 🫡 This interaction and words of wisdom are immortalised on your channel… 😯 Stay Blessed 💕🙏🏽
Gary, what a lovely video. Amazing that youtube and your coaching can get you to be able to do such and lovely thing for your dad! The words Mr Player said about relationships with parents rang true with me. My mum has alzheimer's disease and my dad is undergoing treatment for cancer. The video made me stop, think, have little cry and then remember the great times we had. Thanks mate. really good video
I’m so thankful to PXG, it’s not easy for small golf content channels, usually, you knock on the door and nobody answer. PXG have been the first Big Brand to support me! I think Gary’s players wisdom and speech struck a heart string for all of us, it certainly made me think about my parents and all my mates who’s lost a parent. Thanks Dan, wishing the best for your parents 🙏🏼
Gary, This is such a great video, not just for Gary Player but to see how happy your dad is meeting him. What a treat for him, you can see how genuinely happy is. 👏🏻
Golf’s been such a big part of my Dads life, he’s been to a lot of tournaments and he’s watched so much golf, so any chance I get from now to share something cool with my Dad, I will, as without him, I wouldn’t have ended up being a golfer and making a living doing something I enjoy 👌🏼
Unreal vlog Gaz. What a treat to have the Original Gary (Player) on the channel, and to have him teach your dad. Special day for all. One for your memory bank. Was really cool to hear him still talking about Seve, a hero off mine 🏌️
That has got to be one of the best video's you have done, love your dad to bits, so greatful and to allow your dad to experience such is testiment to you mate.
Wow, amazing by Mr Player to help your dad. Spend as much time with your dad as possible pal, not all of us still have ours in our lives and would do anything for just 1 more round of golf with them
Absolutely brilliant. Met GP on a practice round at the British Seniors Open and walked a few holes with him sharing stories about golf and life. A really special moment for both you and your father (btw, his carry distance rocketed !!!!)
How good was that, a lesson from the legend himself, Gary Player, thanks to PXG. What a wonderful thing to set up. Gary Player is so gracious with his time, speaking to everyone, with kindness and sincerity. Love it.
I have to say, Player is obviously one of the greats of the game, but to sort that out for your dad was a brilliant move Gary and what a gift to be able to give your dad!
@garymartingolf you're not alone... same same with my old man. The common factor -- "I like what I say and I say what I bloody well like". Splendid surprise -- well done to all involved. PLUS -- only yesterday I needed this to fix both my spouse's and my slices 😂 Thank you 👍
Your Dad looks star struck and so he should be. They say never meet your hero's because you will be disappointed but in Gary's case, he is every part the legend. I have only just come back to golf after a 25 year break and found Gary Player to be the guy that I keep coming back to for advice on youtube. My score went from 135 to 90 in 5 games.
Fantastic, never played with my dad as he didn't like golf, but now playing almost every week with my son and I love it, Gary Player true golfing God and what a nice bloke as well, and what a credit you are too, you could feel the joy from your dad, keep them coming mate.
wowww great video Gary and what a surprise for your dad ,what a legend Gary player is . great story's , and 1 simple change by gary in the grip , now hitting draws 👏👏👏👏👏👏 have to do a video on this , simple changes can make all the difference how we all play golf
The grips so important, but any change feels horrendous, so you’ve got to have 100% trust and commitment to it feeling bad, and sometimes hitting bad shots, until it feels comfortable. Not easy, but my dad did pretty well on the range to persist with it, hopefully we can keep on top of it now.
@@garymartingolfI’ve recently done the opposite from having a very strong grip for forty years to a slightly strong grip- it’s been hell and so difficult but after six weeks is starting to show results
Great video Gaz. Started playing again last year after 16 years., really enjoying the game. Haven't played for 2 months now due to having my 2nd knee replacement. Can't wait to get back on the course but I'm also a bit worried. Really enjoy your content and this grip lesson was awesome. Keep it up mate
I’ve done the opposite had a very strongbgripmforvfortybyears and been trying to get near neutral - it’s felt horrendous but after six weeks is starting to show some great results - tell you Dad to stick with it and however difficult don’t creep the grip at address - grip it once and never change it until you hit the ball.
Brilliant, glad it made your Dad's day, do you think the modern day players should interact with the normal players/fans more? i.e. Bryson , I understand it was sponsored by PXG but a bit more bonding with the guys on the street would enhance their reputation no end, I was lucky to be sat next to Seve at dinner back in the 80's at the Epson Grand Prix at St Pierre, this was pre selfie and loads of kids and adults came up and asked for an autograph, even though he was at dinner with his wife and children he smiled and gave his signature, that's why along with Gary, Seve will always be remembered as one of the greats of golf.
Since the video, many have said they bumped into Mr Player in public at golf courses, and he’s talked them to death. I think he’s just a lovely guy, great ambassadors for the game! I can’t imagine the modern pro’s with all their money and fame filling Mr Players boots, but I hope I’m wrong! Golf needs these great legends of the game to keep sharing their wisdom and inspiring worlds to the next generation.
It was abit downwind so then number might have been flattering, but he can hit it about 240-260 when he hits it square! More like 220-230 when he push slices.
That left thumb position is hot wired in to sit around the shaft. I hope your Dad sticks in with his new grip but you may have to work on him. Player was my idol as a youngster born and brough up in Kenya.
It is, he’s got into a bad habit. I’ll keep checking it, and trying to make sure it doesn’t slip back. He’s a proper legend of the game. They don’t get any better than Player.
Were those carry distances accurate? He hits it a mile. Great to see that. Gary Player always has time for people, I’m sure PXG pay him well but he gives great value.
Gary player is unquestionably a legend. It’s a pity he has to constantly talk up himself. It’s like he’s a bit insecure despite his record. Why did he also have to have a go Arnold palmer not being able to walk… When asked about how he fired against Jack Nicklaus he stated that he Annihilated him!! Why couldn’t he just state that he got the better of him! It’s unfortunate that Mr Player has this side to him. One of the greats should be a bit more considered.
What a gentleman. Gary has spent his life making the world a better place. God Bless him.
Such true words GP. I love going out with my son and we are playing this Friday in friend’s family golf day! ❤
I could listen to Gary Player all day! Absolute legend.
Honestly, my exact thoughts, he really grabs your attention, he’s got good humour and he talks with so much experience and knowledge.
Wonderful your dad will never forget such a special day
What a legend Mr Player is. So full of wisdom. I used to play golf with my dad and I miss that so much now he’s not around. He’s so right about golf being a sport you can share with your family for life. I wish you could get Gary Player on every week!

Wow, that was brilliant! To meet Mr P and for him to fix your dad’s slice in 30 secs! Amazing!
Unbelievable experience. What a guy 👌🏼
@@garymartingolf …and for you to be named after him as well. Your dad must have been over the moon
Now that, my friend, is a memory you and your old man can hang onto forever! What a day! 🍻

Wow used to watch him with Palmer and Nicklaus all legends. Wish my Dad was still here to play golf with. 👌
Can’t only imagine, golf must of been good back then. Sorry to hear he’s not 💙
That was world class Gaz and what an amazing thing Gary Player done for your dad
Thanks mate. He’s so a legend of the game! What a guy 👌🏼
@@garymartingolf what an honour
What a lovely moment for you and especially your dad, and a swing fix to boot, really pleased for ya dad, a very special moment. 👌🏼
What a legend as everyone has said. And wisdom. And humour. And role model And.............
What a treat for your Dad, and hopefully will enjoy his golf more now
Absolute quality video Gary & brilliant to see how happy your dad was meeting the legend sir Gary player
Thanks Buddy, it was a great experience to be part of, and what a great guy Mr Player is 👌🏼😮💨
What an amazing treat for both you and your Dad. Brilliant 👍
Was a great couple of days! Great memories 👌🏼
This is so awesome , I grew up watching Gary ,Palmer, Jack, & Trevino. Gary is full of wisdom and still sharp as a tack. 👍👍👍
Unreal! One of the games greatest! He talks so much knowledge 👌🏼
Brilliant Gaz ! Gary Player is a gentleman and your dad did really well under pressure 👏
What a brilliant video, so glad we could make this happen!
Wow, amazing by Mr Player to help your dad. Spend as much time with your dad as possible pal, not all of us still have ours in our lives and would do anything for just 1 more round of golf with them

Absolutely brilliant.
Met GP on a practice round at the British Seniors Open and walked a few holes with him sharing stories about golf and life.
A really special moment for both you and your father (btw, his carry distance rocketed !!!!)
What a wonderful memory for the Martin family. I hope you realize how lucky you are Gary.
Yeah, it was a real honour! One of the greatest golfers on and off the course of all time!
How good was that, a lesson from the legend himself, Gary Player, thanks to PXG. What a wonderful thing to set up. Gary Player is so gracious with his time, speaking to everyone, with kindness and sincerity. Love it.

What a treat for your dad, Gary!
Amazing! It’s going to be a great memory for us ⛳️👌🏼
Even I could see his grip was hopeless, he’d never listen to me though.. fantastic summary of golf from Gary Player around 7:40. 👏🏻

Brilliant Gary 👍

What a guest for the channel Roy. Unreal
Wow! Distance is unbelievable… they must be rolling out to 270 ..I’d have a lesson off you never mind GP if you could get me driving like that😄
It was abit downwind so then number might have been flattering, but he can hit it about 240-260 when he hits it square! More like 220-230 when he push slices.
You need a Gary Player mask!
lol 😂
great stuff 😊
Thanks 👌🏼
Fantastic Gaz. You manage to get out round Dundonald? We played there last year in ‘inclement’ weather. Was a beast !
We did yeah. What a lovely golf course! I’ve come back, thinking, I need to get to Scotland more, how good is links golf 🤤

We did have a Scottish breeze behind us which may have flattered him. No, he used to play off 3, so he can strike it well when he squares the face.
@@garymartingolf since moving to seniors I’ve gone from a short to long hitter🤣🤣
Imagine if he’d got that grip sorted years back.
245yr carry ! Impressive
When he squares the face, he can still hit it. He used to play of 3, so he’s got good timing.
My grip was all wrong. Is that how irons should be held as well then? Newbie here
Yes. The same grip should apply for both woods and irons.
@@garymartingolf Cheers Gary, Instantly grabbed a club and it does feel a lot better. Great video!

Hi gaz.
Coming from a father.wot u did for your dad ,u could milk him for years😂
Wasn’t that great, fantastic video and meeting your dads hero, James Robinson too. WOW.
He was playing Montrose today
He’s always playing, he still loves the game! He was looking at PXG clubs, and getting them to test all sorts with him 😂
You lot bump into Andy, the Average Golfer there?
Yes, he’s such a nice guy. Hopefully we’re going to get a game soon. He’s not played Huddersfield golf club where I’m based.
