An easy way to improve your ball striking, according to Gary Player

The golf swing is a complicated thing. It requires precision, coordination and power. And if just one little thing is off, it can lead to a disastrous result.

Learning how to make all these parts work in complement is no easy task. It can take years of training to groove a swing that works — and even then, there’s no guarantee you’ll find success. It can be a maddening pursuit.

One way to make things a little easier is by heeding the advice of those who actually have found success in this game. In this case, we turn our attention to nine-time major winner Gary Player.
