I just LOVE the fact that there is no "GET IN THE HOLE!" after every shot. My ears want to thank you classy British Columbia.

True but this was also skins match and in 1998.

That was not happening any where at this time it started years after. I think it all started about 5 years after Tiger came on tour.

Nailed it. Watching golf nowadays feels like watching a tournament with a bunch of drunk frat boys screaming at the top of their lungs after a shot is hit 🤣 I remember when it wasn't that way.

These Shell matches are awesome! These two guys are pure class; Fred Couples is probably my all-time favorite golfer.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw Ernie Ells play on TV. I believe it was a British Open around 1992 when he was about 21 years old. I couldn’t believe such a smooth easy swing could hit the ball with such power. It was obvious he was going to be a top level player.

the difference between their swings: it's possible, with great effort and patience and some luck, to learn Ernie's swing. This is impossible for Fred's swing.

I truly think you can’t teach smooth tempo. Good tempo yes but smooth tempo is natural in my opinion. No one will be able to create Ken Griffey Jr swing in baseball either

Probably the two biggest under achievers in the history of golf. Ernie has won four majors in his career, but with his incredible amount of talent, should have won at the very least double that quantity, and in my opinion even the grand slam. He made many bad swings when in contention, resulting in disappointing bogeys at the wrong time. As for Freddie, I can’t believe he only has one major, it doesn’t make sense!

@tonysmario817 8 ай бұрын

it makes perfect sense in both cases, and this match demonstrates their strengths and weaknesses perfectly...ernie drives inconsistently, and couples can't putt to save his life. if they weren't such great golfers neither could score at all...but since they are two of the best to ever play golf, their weaknesses were often overcome by their greatness...like the 2 iron recovery by els, or the number of perfect drives and perfect darts couples threw in order to make a few close putts.

@tonysmario817 8 ай бұрын

i would say, two of the biggest over achievers. if only els would have thrown away his woods, and played with just irons, he probably would have been unbeatable, since he always beat himself, usually off the tee. and couples was too laidback to learn to putt...i mean look at that stupid grip he used!! what great putter ever held a club that way?
