Ernie Els

Ernie Els is a South African professional golfer. His full name is Theodore Ernest "Ernie" Els, he's born October 17, 1969. Ernie has been one of the top professional players in the world since the mid-1990s.

A former World No. 1, he is known as "The Big Easy", for his imposing physical stature (he stands 1.90 metres) along with his fluid, seemingly effortless golf swing.

The Big Easy - Number 1 Pro Golfer

Other highlights in Els' career include topping the 2003 and 2004 European Tour Order of Merit (money list), and winning the World Match Play Championship a record seven times. He has held the number one spot in the Official World Golf Rankings and has been consistently ranked in the top five. He has been in the top ten for over 670 weeks; nobody has been in the top ten longer. In 2003 he was voted 37th on the SABC3's Great South Africans. He won the Sunshine Tour Order of Merit in the 1991/92 and 1994/95 seasons.

Unlike most of his contemporaries, Els is known for his willingness to participate in tournaments all around the world (he regularly plays in European Tour-sanctioned events in Asia, Australasia, and his native country of South Africa). He says that his globe-trotting schedule is in recognition of the global nature of golf, but it has caused some friction with the U.S. PGA Tour, an organization that would prefer Els to play more tournaments in the United States. In late 2004, Tim Finchem, the director of the PGA Tour, wrote quite a firm letter to Els asking him to do so, but Els publicized and rejected this request. The PGA Tour's attitude caused considerable offense in the golfing world outside of North America.

Intech Beta Ti EXD Golf Balls (36 Pack)

- Includes 36 golf balls
- Features thin cover technology
- Provides astounding distance
- One-year warranty

These are good and cheap golf balls! I recently bought this pack and tried them right away. These responded great on the course, even on rough I still could get good lift AND spin. On the greens they're pretty firm. Though from the tee these don't have the same feel as Titleists PRO V1 or Callaways HX's. Because of their price, I guess it's a psychological thing knowing no matter how you hit the ball, if it is lost you don't lose that much. It's conforting to know that. I guess this helps hit the ball more confidently. I would definitely recommend these golf balls. -- B. Miceli "Renman" (Dominican Republic)

"Eagles, and Birdies, and Bogeys, Oh My!"
I love the noble game of golf even though I always thought I was more the polo type, but then, Old Flossie died and I had to pursue a new sport.
Although I am thoroughly bitten by the golf bug, I have yet to become that good at it, which means that I lose a lot of golf balls--a lot. (Just have to improve my grip, swing, long game, short game and putting).
With such a loss of balls...(?) With such a loss of golf balls, the important thing is that you get thirty-six. Even if one lands in the bushes, the pond, someone's bedroom window or barbeque, or an extra bounce from the cart path, there's always more. And they are cheap.
I don't care if the core is made of bilium, if it has high compression, or will add distance or fade to my shots. All these things will happen by accident, and when I least expect it.
These would be better if they were luminescent yellow, the mark of a true amateur. (They're even easier to find).

I can guarantee that these golf balls will not:
- make you able to play with one ball for the whole game
- prevent Mulligans
- prevent you from taking more than one club out of your bag
- prevent it from being your turn consecutively
- bring your game below 100.

This is a smart buy for scratch golfers or high handicappers -- very high. FORE! FIVE! SIX! -- Edwin C. Pauzer (New York City)
