Gary Player & Drill One

Gary Player wrote hundreds of articles for golf books and magazines. This is one of my favorites as it 100% implies the drill one release I teach golfers.

He is distinctly reciting the release of the club is done via the forearms. It is drill one in a nutshell. To maintain a firm structured wrist pattern the forearms must rotate and increase the speed of the hands and grip in the process.

Great players knew what they were doing. It is very wise to listen to them. Player won over 150 tournaments including the Grand Slam on both the PGA Tour and the Champions Tour. 

His golf swing was as good as anyone's to ever play the game, despite what many people will say.

If you can fly across the world- like Player did- and get off a plane the day before an event and go shoot phenomenal scores and win the tournament then you have a golf swing that is repetitively sound and fiercely correct in its attributes.

Don't let people fool you into believing his swing was not good and that the only reason he did well was because he worked out or believed in himself.
