Gary Player balances golf and earth on his South African ranch
Gary Player, famed golfer with multiple majors, blends success with family life and a deep love for his 1500 acre Johannesburg area ranch. He champions racial integration, invites Black players to tournaments, and urges youths to learn multiple languages. Despite praise for America, he prefers his homeland and its soil. He tends Thoroughbred and quarter horses, drives a tractor, and still earns prize money on the U S tour.
