Ernie Els Quotes

I’ve got my life. I’m very serious about my business. I’ve got my family. And I’ve got my game Picture Quote #1

Because of the grass and open face, I take one more club for shots from the rough, unless the ball is sitting on top of dry grass. Then, I use more loft and swing softer, trying to hit it about 70 percent to avoid a flyer over the green Picture Quote #1

I’d like to win the Masters and the PGA and complete the career Grand Slam Picture Quote #1

Brushing up on your short game at the practice area is fine and good, but taking it with you to the golf course - when your score is really on the line - is another story Picture Quote #1

For all the fun, don’t forget: I always knew when to put my golf balls down and practice Picture Quote #1

When I’m swinging the club at my best, it’s because I’m not thinking about mechanics at all. I feel like my body is loose. My arms are soft in front of me when I’m setting up, and my chest and shoulders feel as if they can move and turn easily Picture Quote #1

With shorter clubs, your ball position should be just back of middle, to really promote hitting the ball first on a downward strike Picture Quote #1

It is just a crazy life as a sportsman. My daughter, Sam, wants to go into tennis, and I tell her, ‘No, you don’t want to go into professional sport.’ Picture Quote #1

Make a conscious effort to loosen your hands and let your arms feel soft when you’re at address. Take the club back a bit shorter, and feel as if you’re cracking a whip on the way down - not tensing up to smash something hard Picture Quote #1

I almost never hit a shot all out, and I make a conscious effort to swing my long clubs just as I do my wedges. Keep this in mind when hitting your fairway woods Picture Quote #1

When you’re hitting a fairway wood, you’ve got a lot of real estate to cover to get to your target. Your first instinct is probably to give it a little more power because you’re worried about coming up short Picture Quote #1

Check the card before you play. If you have a couple of long par 3s, put an extra hybrid in your bag. You’ll be glad you did Picture Quote #1

The biggest mistake is trying to pinch down on the ball and ripping out a big divot, often hitting the ground before the ball. You’ll dig up some turf, but you won’t create much backspin Picture Quote #1

Obviously my game wasn’t too good at Augusta, I had a couple of technical faults, the posture wasn’t too good. It’s a bit unfortunate because I was playing a lot of good golf, but when I got sick (flu) before The Masters, that was bad timing and I wasn’t quite myself Picture Quote #1

I’ve not given up hope the belly-putter will be banned. The R and A and the USGA are looking at it right now Picture Quote #1

Playing from deep grass is a fact of life in professional golf Picture Quote #1

Swinging harder with a longer club almost always leads to bad shots Picture Quote #1

If you don’t believe you can make every putt, why bother trying? Picture Quote #1

Michelle is 14. Give her a couple of years to get stronger. I mean, she can play on this tour. If she keeps working, keeps doing the right things, there’s no reason why she shouldn’t be out here Picture Quote #1

You have to know how to read your lie and take a calculated risk when you hit out of the rough Picture Quote #1

Excessive drinking is not good for my health, my family or my game. There has definitely been a change, and I feel better for it Picture Quote #1

You check into the hotel and see you’re booked for seven nights. But you know you might be leaving in a day or two. It’s exciting for the fans. But you’re on edge. And you’re on edge the whole round Picture Quote #1

He’s been a top player for the last 10 years, and we all work on our swings, we all change things. We keep working and then we’re trying to get better, and sometimes you get worse trying to get better. You’ve just got to give it some time, be patient for it to turn around, and when it does turn around, you feel like you can start winning again Picture Quote #1
