Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Very good
Ernie Els has a easy golf swing. I am always amazed when I see how smooth it is and how far that ball flys afterward.
He breaks down the components of the swing with plenty of photos.
The only thing better would have been a DVD included with lessons.
Rating:  - Need help with your swing?
Then buy this book. Ernie does a great job of taking you through the basic stages of the golf swing. Then he shows you how to use your new swing on your irons and then wedges.

Nearly every swing stage has pictures taken from multiple angles to drive home the points. Buy this book and see your golf ... Read More

One caveat: Since Ernie advocates keeping the club low to the ground for as long as possible ... Read More

I have put into practice the knowledge I gained concerning pitching; an area of golf that has been particularly troublesome for me. He explains that it is really a very different ... Read More
Rating: - One of the best golf books around.
I've been at this wonderful game of golf for over 10 years and of all of the books I've read this is, by virtue of its refreshingly sound simplicity, the absolute best. What I like is that if doesn't follow the convention of the vast majority of instructional books out there that expect the reader to have a million swing thoughts to get the job done. Guys like Peltz and Ledbetter do offer great advice but Ernie Els points to the most valuable aspects of building a swing and hammers and hammers the point home ... Read More
