Gary Player is one of the legends when it comes to golf. He has won 24 PGA Tour titles and nine major championships in his career. Moreover, he is considered to be a generational player along with Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. Meanwhile, Gary is the only non-American to win all four major championships.
The 86-year-old South African still plays golf with his friends and even works out in the gym. While it is generally considered that physical fitness deteriorates with age, the golf legend is proving everyone wrong.

Meanwhile, this is true as the eyes and head tend to look forward towards the hole rather than focusing on the ball. Hence, we see a lot of leisure golfers missing their putts even from a few feet away. So this advice from Gary Player is absolute gold and can help recreational golfers hole out their putts in fewer strokes.
