The Big Easy

Finally, the big man from South Africa has clicked. With victory at the CA Championship at Doral the first in two years since the 2008 Honda Classic it might just be the stepping stone towards that elusive first green jacket for the The Big Easy.

What can we learn from a golfer that has got a reputation of having the most relaxed swing in the game, well less is more. Ernie's obvious asset is his height, standing at 6ft 3in his natural ability to swing the club on a wide arc allows him to hit it long with relative ease. Make no mistake though Ernie is not tickling the ball, there is a consistent element to his swing that most amateurs can learn a lot from.

Ernie like all good players finishes the swing. His ability though to do it with relative ease is what is impressive. Hence The Big Easy.

Watch the clip

The great part of the swing is the moments before and after the the ball has been struck. The follow through is a product of the constant acceleration in the swing, a vital part to any persons swing to allow the ball to fly. Naturally this is not going to give you a consistent straight shot, but its going to at least help.

Once you've master the feeling of following through with the golf swing then the hard work starts.

Here is a clip that really gives you an incite in the mind of the Professional Golfer. The most noticeable thing is the simple key thoughts he has in the order of importance.

Enjoy
