Ernie Els Quotes

• I’ve been there before. I’ve blown majors before and golf tournaments before, and I just hope he doesn’t take it as hard as I did.
• That’s the nature of the beast. That’s why we’re out here. You win. You lose. It was my time for some reason.
• The practice ground is an evil place. It’s full of so called coaches waiting to pounce. You can see them waiting to dish their mumbo jumbo. To hell with coaches.

You’ll get better results-and often more distance-if you swing at eighty percent effort. I get all kinds of people telling me I have the best swing in the world-it’s beautiful, it’s effortless. But I know when that isn’t true.
