Call him what you like; The Black Knight, Mr Fitness or The International Ambassador for Golf, Gary Player<\/a> is one of the most influential figures in the history of the game.<\/p>\n

The diminutive South African logged more than 12million miles of air travel throughout a career that reaped the rewards of plenty of hard work. \u201cThe more I practice, the luckier I get,\u201d is a popular quote that was coined by Player himself and he was certainly \u201clucky\u201d throughout his career, winning no less than nine major championships on the regular tour in addition to a bucketful on the Seniors Tour.<\/p>\n

These days Gary is a well respected golf course architect, having laid down courses including Donnafugata in Italy, Saadiyat Beach in Abu Dhabi and the stunning Fancourt Links in his native South Africa.<\/p>\n

While his legacy will no doubt live on through the years, it is the little pearls of wisdom that he has dropped along the way that we are interested in today. In honour of his 79th birthday, we though we’d take a look at some of Player\u2019s best golf related quotes from years gone by…<\/i>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1611133223796{margin-right: 2% !important;margin-left: 2% !important;padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;background-color: #eeeeee !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”]\n
