Gary Player's Golf Class

Gary Player’s Golf Class is the most widely read golf instruction series in the world. First published by the Sunday Express in 1966, it is now the biggest-selling sports feature of the decade.

Anyone interested in golf will see immediately the reasons for this on looking at the strip cartoons in this book.

Firstly, the lessons are given by top world golfer Gary Player, one of the four men who have ever achieved the “Grand Slam” – the others being Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus.

Secondly, in these lessons, Player reveals himself not only as a great golfer but as a great teacher. Thirdly, Player gives these lessons on the golf course, playing with a man who is an average weekend golfer, lain Reid. In this way, the faults, weaknesses and misunderstandings common to almost all weekend golfers arise naturally and are seized on by Player who, in the clearest possible manner, explains and demonstrates the right way of tackling each fault. Here, then, are the first 100 lessons by Gary Player.
