MY HUMBLE OPINION:
MY HUMBLE OPINION:

THE WAY MOST GOLF TEACHERS
THE W A Y MOST GOLF TEA CHERS

SHOULD BE TEACHING
SHOULD BE TEA CHING

By Wayne Player

irstly, if you continue to do what you’ve always
Fdone, then you will continue to get the results
you’ve always gotten. Change is the price of
survival, without question. One must focus on
athletic fundamentals around power, balance
and repetition.
My personal experience as a professional
golfer and son of a golfing legend, Gary Player,
led me to create a more simplified approach to
the game in The Player Approach. I have had
more access to golf gurus, legends and sports
psychologists than maybe anyone. You name
them, and I spent my dad’s money there as a
young man. There are so many golfing teacher
gurus out there that the golf world seems to be
inundated with a bunch of instructional malarkey.
So, who is the guru of the gurus? I don’t know.
I would urge all of you to believe in a more
simplified, four-pronged approach to eliminate
paralyses of analysis: 1) a flat front foot lead foot,
2) how to become a true front-foot hitter,
3) athleticism, and 4) a positive attitude.
Please see the next page for a greeting for
Mr. Brandon Lee, president and CEO of the
USGTF.
