Gary Player is one of golf?s greatest champions. As one of the ?Big Three? of golf?s golden era (with Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer), he helped launch golf as a major international sport. He sits fourth on the list of most major victories on the PGA Tour and built a reputation of being fearless on the course and steely on the greens. Don?t Choke is his look at what it takes 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 pressure situations can help anyone.

If you want to do better in a boardroom or in your next job interview, Player?s advice will help. This personal glimpse into the mind of a champion offers lessons to everyone who has to face pressure?and today that is all of us.?Gary is one the greatest competitors who ever played the game.??Arnold Palmer. …
