The nine-time Major winner wants to stop the use of green reading books in the professional game
Gary Player On Greens Books: 'If You Can't Read A Green, Go Sell Tomatoes'
However, former World Number One Luke Donald disagreed, using the hashtag #banthemisay.
One man who agrees with Donald that they should be banned is nine-time Major champion Gary Player, who told this week's Golf Monthly podcast that golfers should "sell tomatoes" if they can't read greens.
"Stop these pros from reading a green on the green with a book," Player told Golf Monthly.
"I mean it's the most ridiculous thing.
"The best putters are not now, the best putters were in the past.
"Bobby Locke, Billy Casper, Bob Charles they were better putters than anybody I've seen today. Better, really.
"And they played it on lousy greens.
"If you can't read a green you should go sell tomatoes."
