we get to bring you another trending clip this week.
Gary Player, what you're about to listen to is trending this
week on our Facebook page. Hope you enjoy.
I read that you used to you know in kind of practicing patience
would be on the highway and drive behind the slowest car or
truck is. That true?
No, that's true. And there was a golf pro in
California, Mack O'Grady, very unusual man.
He used to do the same thing. I'd get behind a slow car and
the lady on the highway and I'd be forced to sit there and, and
then I'd, you know, also I, I sat in front of mirrors in that
Tai chi position like that. See now that you, you try and
sit like that, you try and sit like that for 4 minutes or try
and do it for one minute. And I'd sit in front of the
mirror and I'd go, I'd slap myself in the face till I was
red and say, you've got to learn to suffer because that's what
life is going to do to you and you've got to survive.
How much of golf is success? 1 Success in golf is mental.
A large, a large amount in golf mental and good nerves, good
nerves are imperative. You got to have good nerves.
You got to be fit, you got to eat properly.
That's the new that's going to be the new technique, that's
going to be the new technology in sports.
We'll be eating because very few eating I, I might meet one
person out of 10,000 that eat properly.
So that's going to be the new thing to fuel the engine, to
give it the energy to give you the intelligence to make your
mind work well is very important.
So I come back to the mind when I played against Arnold Palmer
and Jack Nicklaus, who were stronger than me and in their
home country, when I teed up, I said, man, I'm going to beat
you. And it is in my mind that I
believe that. And if you don't believe in your
mind, you ain't going to do it because nobody's going to give
you that. So you got to develop the mind.
You can't only go to the gym and develop your body.
You got to do exercises and reading and thought processes to
strengthen the mind. Before you leave, here's a quick
shameless plug. Please follow us at Graham
