Ben Hogan said, “Any time you hit a straight shot, it’s a fluke.” You got to either draw or fade the ball. Don’t ever try to hit it straight. You can stand on the practice tee and hit 30 balls, if you hit 10 straight, you’re doing pretty well. But if you follow your swing, you can draw or fade all 30. GP #PXGTroops

A bad putt is better than a good chip. I love this saying because it is so often accurate. There is no need to hit the ball high unless you need to go over a trap or hazard. GP #PXGTroops

I believe the mistake most golfers make is that they try to hit a straight ball. Hogan said hitting it straight was a “fluke”. If you aim up the right side and draw it or vice versa, then you make the fairway as big as possible. If you aim up the middle, you then you cut the fairway in half. This means a shot that draws too much ends up in the rough on the left and a ball that fades too much ends up in the right rough. The game is tough enough, so try to give yourself as much advantage as possible. GP #PXGTroops

Recognising green speeds isn’t just a technical detail, it’s the difference between saving par and surrendering strokes. It teaches discipline, touch and imagination, all of which are essential to scoring. If golfers spent as much time studying pace as they do line, they would see remarkable improvement in their short game. GP #PXGTroops

Golf isn’t played on perfect grass every time. Bad bounces are part of the game and the great players accept that. When you find yourself on a tough, elevated lie surrounded by dirt, rocks, or sticks, don’t try to be a hero. The goal is simple, give yourself a chance to save par. Remember, it’s not the shot you wanted, it’s the shot you’ve got. Stay calm, play smart, and you’ll turn those bad breaks into brilliant recoveries. That’s the mark of a smart golfer. GP #PXGTroops

I typically end my workouts on the treadmill, gradually building up from a brist walk to a sprint. This was from a few years ago before I left on an overnight flight and I always exercise before traveling. Most importantly, it’s all about making sure your mind tells your body it can still move fast! GP

I so rarely see amateurs hit the ball past the flag. So, my tip for the day is to always lean towards hitting the higher club. Trying to hit the ball past the hole will lead to better scoring. GP #PXGTroops

Out of the bunker, choking down on the club can be a tremendous help, especially when the ball sits in a tight lie or when you want more control over the strike. It shortens the swing arc, keeps the hands steady, and helps you deliver the clubhead precisely where it needs to enter the sand. GP #PXGTroops

Bobby Jones, who was a hero of mine, said that “Golf is the closest game to the game we call life; you get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots - but you have to play the ball where it lies.” The next shot is all that matters whether your last shot was good or bad.

Getting your club through the ball when on thick grass can be tough. A simple chip with a hybrid just off the green isn’t as flashy as a flop shot but it gets the job done. GP #PXGTroops

One of the main differences of the game today compared to my prime is the equipment. That’s why it is so difficult to compare players of different eras, it’s a different game. Equipment advances have improved the game for every golfer, including myself as I would not have been able to play at the level i do today if the equipment had not advanced as it has and for that i am thankful. GP

A secret to good chipping is accelerating through impact. Because chipping and wedge play can be about feel and hitting delicate shots, we have the tendency to decelrate which often leads to hitting it thin or fat. GP #PXGTroops

Coming home to South Africa always fills me with gratitude. It’s incredibly moving to see people from around the world unite in support of the children at our little Blair Atholl Pre‑Primary School, and having Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy stand with me truly warms my heart. I’m thankful to Citadel for once again hosting their annual event, helping raise funds for the school’s endowment and ensuring we can continue giving these young children a place in the sun. I made a promise to my late wife, Vivienne, to protect this school and these children. Knowing that Citadel, Brian and Keith continue to walk this journey with me, year after year, means more to me than I can express. GP
