“I believe that I was born with an ability to play golf and be successful sportsman. But I also believe I was born with an ever greater calling to contribute towards humanity,” starts the gracious feelings of professional golfer Gary Player on the back cover of his book, Don’t Choke. Player is considered one of the greatest golfers of all time, having eighteen Major Championship victories (nine of the regular tour, nine on the senior tour).
He resides on his thoroughbred racehorse stud farm in Colesberg, South Africa and is known as one of “The Big Three” of golf’s golden era (with Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer), he helped launch golf s a major international sport. A Grand Slam champion, he build a reputation of being fearless on the course and steely on the greens. Now in its second edition, revised and up updated, Don’t Choke is Player’s look at what is needed to achieve success when the pressure is on. Player explains how and why he became a champion and what it takes to win in big-time golf, but he also explains how learning to cope in high-pressure situations can help anyone.
This book is not all about golf. Player has had a long, successful career in business since his playing days—designing almost 400 golf courses, marketing an active lifestyle collection of luxury products, and more. If you want to do better in a boardroom or in you next job interview, Player’s advice contained in a brand-new chapter on “the true meaning of success” will help. This glimpse into the mind of a champion offers lessons to everyone who faces pressure. The foreword is written by Dr. Bob Roetella.
