About the Author:

Ernie Els started playing golf when he was eight and captured the world junior championship at the age of 15. He turned professional in 1989 and in 1992 won the South African PGA, the South African Masters and the South African Open, the first golfer to win that trio of titles since Gary Player.

In 1994 he won the US Open at the young age of 24. Golf superstar Gary Player says, "When I first saw Ernie Els play golf... I knew I was witnessing one of golf's next generation of superstars." Ernie Els is a native of South Africa. This is his first instructional golf book.
