Ernie Els, some of the elite in golf can learn a lot from this amazing man. He is a true gentleman, a man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority . Ernie Els you are an inspiration not only in golf, but in life. All things good in life to you and your family! What a bloke!

One of the few swings in the game that is almost artistic. Can watch it over and over.

I'm not sure whether I took in this detail from others but I love the fact that in your back swing you explain you swing it back as one piece and then get shoulder turn, which in turn helps with wrist cock. The back swing is the part that bamboozles most amateurs in high handicap range in effectively lowering handicap. I've been trying playing comps for a couple of years and struggled with backswing and therefore the rest of my game. You've actually shown me how to do it and it is actually quite simple but others explain body rotation and all this crap....which might be good for lower handicappers who are looking for more distance. I've watched ball placement and club head alignment videos and this video has topped it off. Hit some beautiful shots today based on this advice and even experienced high ball flight with irons. Thanks for such simple advice. 20 years earlier and you would have created another opponent ; ). Greatly appreciate video!

Ernie is such a 'feel' golfer vs. a highly technical one. Once, when asked how to fade/draw he said " I just think 'fade' " ! He has the most glorious swing. The best tip here was in reference to the transition from the top - to let the hands and club "drop", which will assist in preventing coming over the top. I remember watching him back in '96 and '97 ( Winged Foot) and the rhythm on his swing blew me away.

Ernie's effortless power! Saw him on TV doing a clinic and after he hit a bunch of drives with his regular driver, Jack Nicklaus gave him a really old school, small head Persimmon driver to try. He still crushed it with that antique club! When you watch Ernie, you get a sense that getting the swing mechanics together is actually possible without ruining your back! Also, what a terrific guy!

Thank you for sharing this with us Ernie. Allowing clubhead to fall at beginning of downswing is best tip ever!

Congrats Ernie on your 2nd Open. You really showed class feeling Adam Scott's pain and you handled it well.

Best short video ever about driver swing. He explain exactly how to swing with the driver: mental, technical und feeling.

Ernie is a great, down to earth guy and a fabulous player! Loved to hear about your "secrets" Ernie!

My favorite player to watch, back in the day. What a great swing.

ernie is pure and absolute class , a phenomenal golfer and a great personality :)

That's spot on. It has taken me a long time to get this right in my swing. As the arms drop the lower body rotates and just pulls everything with it.

One of the very best swings - rythm and balance - no forcing ( let the club do the work )

that little innocuous comment "its just like dropping the club after the backswing" kinda quntum-leaped my whole game. i keep thinking this every time i hit the ball and the consistency ive gotten using this tiny idea is beyond anything i could have imagined...

Very good video. I learned this before but I should think about it again to check myself.

Love Ernie. His swing does require some great flexibility . Note how at the top of the backswing, his shoulders turn around 110 degrees (behind his chin) while both feet are flat on the ground, his trail leg has maintained its flex and he maintains his posture. That takes flexibility. Try it! From the top " I just turn through to a nice finish". That says it all. He makes no mention of applying any hand action. That is a critical point. "Just 2 turns, back and through"

Love Ernie, and the video was just great, thank you.

Ernie makes it sound easy! Love this guy. I hope he starts putting a little better. One of my favorite players ever!

That swing is smooth like butter.

Ernie is my all time favorite player. I have been trying all these years to mimic his smooth silky tempo but can never get it. Ernie.... you're such a gifted player.

Great Pro followed him at Bridgestone in Akron picked up some great tips. At 61 years I am driving the ball 270- 280 straight.

best advice and explained perfect. Feel like your arms are hanging with loose grip. turn shoulders. Don't swing from the top, drop the club and turn through the ball. I have gained 30m on my drives.

Effortless swing, simple explanations! Thanks

At 2:35 Ernie promotes the take-away favoring the left arm. Payne Stewart did that as well. Both have very smooth swings.

Amazing player

Smoothest swing!

one if not the best golf swing in the history of the game

Ernie the legend

Peter Aliss said Ernie's instructional video was the best he'd ever seen.

Smooth swing... "And from there on it's just two turns, you're turning back and you're turning through the ball". Done.

He always reminded me of Mario Lemieux. They both made it look so easy.

Ernie is awesome. He is younger than I thought, only 42 years old.

What a great swing to emulate. So hard not to swing from the top though.

Ernie is a baller! Good luck at Merion.

a great champion !

As for your swing Ernie, WOW!

Great share on this thanks

Most beautiful swing on earth

thanks uncle ernie

Dankie - nog n giftige video!

One more major big Ern

Big easy. Love it

He's a natural... As long as his posture is good nothing bad can happen. Wonder how that feels

@thefamiliepak if you are falling forward (toward the tee), then one major problem is using your arms to swing rather than your body or shoulders. You need to swing with your body, active arms is one of the worst things you can do for consistency.

Thumbs up if you would love to have that silky smooth swing!

Interesting he feels the arms hang at address and his other key is to feel like the hands just drop straight down when he starts his downswing. That's where he gets a lot of speed via no tension or "hit" at the ball.

By saying the arms just fall, he's also saying that there is no effort to early release the arms, From the top, let the turn of the shoulders rotate the arms down. Let the arms lag in the turn.

Why does he do the forward press?

BUTTER Smooth !!!!

Sorry gotta get into the thumbs down ,,,so many Haters out there its sad ,people can never just enjoy a real gentemen give perfect instructions!!! Great Golfer and as a person ,,come on think positive on life !!! ✌

The big easy!!!

good

0:45 is just ridiculously beautiful...

The South African's always have incredible tempo and rhythm....

I'd like him to give me his best Arnie impersonation…. Oh wait, he just did.

If Only we could

I was hoping he would tell us to keep the box

75% 300 yards straight 6 3 280 lbs size matters

Let the hips initiate the down swing

Great guy I don't why he didn't win more than 4 majors.

good advice for a sap

great, just like my move. hehe

Why do golfers use a toward press

Ernie, next James Bond on movie?

I heard Ernie mention once that you should tee ball at practice.? Ever shot!....tee it up. Im sure many would like to know....WHY???

diplomatic immunity...........its just been revoked

Similiar to ernie els

So many fake IDs promoting the Kaha Shocking Guide!

@Daniel39363 And yet, some of the greatest teachers in the world have said the opposite.

I'm your uncle!

But most of the pros tells me start downswing with lower body first not with your arms. Not clear!

so basically the swing is really easy

how bout some putting tips

What does this guy know about it 😄

A deceptively slow swing, he hits the ball a mile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ernie Els is like Arnold Swarranager* (sorry*) but with a different accent.

zja zam

I'm your daddy!

Right after reading through these golf swing secrets “Jοmtοnο Naha” (Google it) and doing the drills as I read, I went out and shot a 73. I hit 13 of 18 greens in regulation. I also almost hit the green with a distance of Five to ten yards on the other 5 holes. Since Nine is my handicap, I never shoot 73s. It`s been actually a long time since I made an outstanding round.

good golfer bad teacher

Look after your body ha ha ha.Hes been overweight for 25 years.

great player, horrible video
