Ernie lost a good 5 or 6 majors in the late 90's early 2000's because of his putting...yeah yeah I know, tiger was in his prime and winning almost everything..but ernie was right in the hunt in alot of them..
Ernie, I have never understood the hype about him According to me he was always a mediocre player even when he was the world number 1.I remember that at Agusta he failed in the same hole seven putts, I dont think that even my son that is 10 ys old is capable to do that
Thats too negative. In my opinion the lesson is accept everything that happens and move on. Surprising and crazy things happen to even the best in the game.
@@samjames8690 It is very odd. I can totally understand mentally losing it in golf and 3 foot putts seem like 30 feet. But he took time to step back and refocus and still missed a putt from inches away. Possible he was so frustrated and embarrassed that he didn't even focus on the putt.
Bob Jones to be the best player in the world at one stage and then this, strange things going on in the head at that moment, I have 4 putted but the first was from a long distance, second still long, but I was getting closer, I know these are fast greens and they do putt hard, but....
I always feel like with shorter putts, the more careful and concentrated I try to be always ends up messing me up more. If I nonchalantly just tap it where I think it’s supposed to go it usually just goes in.
I find on short putts if I like really exaggerate my follow through, as if I'm like guiding the ball into the hole, I hit it straight and rarely miss them. Like really exaggerating the follow through. Don't know why but it works. I used to sometimes get a little nervous about 2 footers because of course you're supposed to make them and if you don't it's embarrassing or it's going to sting to miss it. So the follow through like takes that nervousness out of my head like "easy, I can just push it into the hole" probably looks ridiculous but I'd honestly do it if I was in a pressure situation and had to make a 2 footer.
1:36 Only a field goal kicker ready to kick a field goal to win the Super Bowl can understand the pressure that a golfer feels standing over a 3 foot slider to take a major from Jack Nicklaus.. RIP Doug Sanders.
Well, he once had the most envied putting-stroke ever. Used his shoulders/body so effortlessly where the putt came off his putter head so softly. Might cut Ernie Els a bit of slack. It has happened to many of us.
2:30 I spotted the problem here. He's trying to put with a fishing rod. He's going to want to pick up a putter from the pro shop, he'll have better success.
Ernie's putts should reassure all the golf hackers out there (I'm one of them!) Anyone can miss a short putt. Anyone. But a 4 year old with a borrowed putter could pop in a two or three foot putt. One handed probably. So why is it so hard for serious, trained golfers? Answer that question, and you've solved the yips.
I had the yips many years ago despite being one of the best putters in the club before and afterwards. It was really weird - I got into a mental space where I was standing over certain short putts and literally could not see any possible route for the ball to get into the hole. I could see how to miss left or right but there didn't seem to be any middle path. Of course then I would stand over the ball full of uncertainty and as I made the stroke would jerk the club slightly just before contact and miss it as I had imagined. Once it's in your head it can be very difficult to get that calm, relaxed state of mind back again and make a smooth stroke. Watching Ernie there I knew exactly what he was going through, where you end up just wanting to lag it from 2 feet for a tap in 😭
I've had the yips chipping for 30 years. It trickled a bit into my putting 2 years ago. I used to have a great short game and was a great putter as a kid. Practice doesn't help. After a few chips at the practice range I'm fine. I can bump and run, flop shots, etc. Once I get onto the course though forget it. My mind is racing over every chip within 10 yards of the green. I could easily knock 5-10 shots a round off my score. I still love the game though.
@Klack Koaster Gimmies in pro golf eh? No... they have to sink it in stroke play which is 99% of the tournament's. Only in match play or weekend golfers. Stroke play pro golf doesn't have gimmies. What sport is it that you think you know?
Lucas Glover ha ha ha, he almost missed the ball. Brilliant. Some proper loopy looking putting strokes in here. More movement than in the knackered bushes on my front suspension.
1:50 Since it's part of this video, I know she is going to miss it, it's just inconceivable that she actually does. Bonus points though for how long she took as well.
Was making putting way harder on myself using a blade style putter switched back to a mallet head now the knee knockers an alignment an general has been alot better.
I remember when I was new to golf when I was in my early 30's and like now, I was working out with weights regularly. One morning I had a good session in the gym and a buddy called me for a round in the early afternoon. By the time I got into the golf course I noticed that my arms were complete jelly and I couldn't stop my hands and arms from shaking. To this day, I don't know how I got through 18 holes without a handful of 3 these lol. Oh well, at least it was a lesson learned.
Thanks again my man. Possible suggestions, I wouldn't mind seeing non pro moments. Like am pro am/ celeb and even juniors if possible. Just some thoughts to help. Thanks again
Tom Smith I could see that most of the missed puts were caused not so much by a bad stroke as by not being aligned with the hole. There were a few due to bad technique, especially the one that was shanked.
Releasing the putter head through the ball is largely what becomes so difficult when you're tensed up or just completely gone mentally. The lack of release is what causes the blocks.
Ugh!! The yips are no joke! got em a few years ago and switched to claw grip and finally fixed it. But man is it a frustrating problem... yeah poor Ernie, eeeeesh.
In 2021I had hoped to move to AZ and study with LPGA T&CP Member/Teacher Dr Debbie Crews to get a better comprehension and understanding of the yips ; however, ...$
He's won 19 PGA tournaments and has 47 more professional victories internationally. His earnings are more than $49 million (Note: This does not include money from sponsors). I wish I was that "bad". :-) Seriously though, it's not possible to even get a PGA card without being an amazing putter. Like anyone, he has his bad days.
The yips can affect any golfer. It's a mental thing that some golfers don't get over and some just quit golf entirely. Ernie switched to a new putter and changed some technique and was leading the Tour on strokes gained putting at one point www.golfwrx.com/385262/since-switch-ernie-els-is-the-tours-best-putter/
They all have the same thing in common, they are way too close to the hole, if you notice when they putt it the second time basically standing on one leg they make it. When you get grounded and set up for a putt so short it messes with you.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 dude yelled “get a new putter” around 2:30! I mean damn that putter tho how is that legal? Lmao if I walked out there with that and missed my shot I wouldn’t even come back
This started happening to me a 2 months ago. I'm a 3 handicap. Missed a 14in. putt for a 72 and from there on out I've missed about 40 10-20 in. putts in 2 months. Might quit the game.
Hi, I am new to Yips in Golf but I heard that Hypnotherapy is one of the best treatment so far. I hope you did not give up. I know someone who helps with Yips. Take care
2:29 "get a new putter" hahahaha probably the best crowd shout I've ever heard
Absolutely one of the top ones. Unreal.
That was a good one - but I'm going with; "Suck a d*** McIlroy!"
What happens if your ball knocks in somebody else's ball?
LOL! thanks for pointing that out.
Ernie lost a good 5 or 6 majors in the late 90's early 2000's because of his putting...yeah yeah I know, tiger was in his prime and winning almost everything..but ernie was right in the hunt in alot of them..
Same with Duval at the Masters.

@@TonyNeri-s3e Except there were times when he could putt, then he won. That's not mediocre, he was inconsistent.
2:31 “GET A NEW PUTTER!” 😂
Only the best from the gallery in New York/New Jersey!
@Max Maude I agree.
I mean, whos using a POS like that? Embarassing 🤣
Lesson here: I don't care how good you are, there is absolutely no putt in golf that is not missable.
Joel Lahrman not even one sitting on the lip?
@@samjames8690 Ask Hale Irwin
So true. No gimmes in my world. Missing a 2-footer is like hitting a ball in the water.
well said!
Thats too negative. In my opinion the lesson is accept everything that happens and move on. Surprising and crazy things happen to even the best in the game.
There’s an awful lot ernie in these clips...
Big Easy is one of all time favorite in this stuff.

A woman too, probably one that is jealous and sucks at golf to boot.
@@chubeviewer ain’t that deep just a funny miss
That's what you get for wearing a glove while putting
"6 putting from 2 feet"
Makes me feel better about myself
“Get a new putter” to the guy with the chest putter 😂
Adam Scott
He usually pretty solid the other 99% of the time
You mean adam scott
People usually go with the long putter out of desperation
Totally agree with that guy, glad they banned the broomstick putter for good
Wow. That Ernie Els clip was tragic.
All of them lol but especially the masters one
0:41? So bad it almost looks fake

Watching Ernie miss those putts and the movie Marley & Me are the 2 things guaranteed to make my soul cry.
And it was at that moment Ernie knew the champions tour was his calling 😂😂
You have no permission to film me while I am playing golf. How dare you post my putting on line?
I find the very short putts the trickiest
Ahhh, finally a golf video I can relate to 😩
I’m sorry, the last one is simply unmissable.
He made the last one!
Apparently not
I always feel like with shorter putts, the more careful and concentrated I try to be always ends up messing me up more. If I nonchalantly just tap it where I think it’s supposed to go it usually just goes in.
So true. Sort of the same for my short chips
Yeah I end up overthinking myself into aiming poorly instead of just giving it the instinctual tap
Same here. With short chips as well

Jesper Parnevik 3-putted from within 3 feet at the Sony Open one year. Maybe around 2004 or so.

RIP Doug Sanders.
Doug Sanders was a top pro but he was always changing his putting stroke.
I could make a 10 min compilation of just myself doing this.
10 minute compilation just from the front 9 lmao
Recently drove the green of a short par 4 and still managed to leave with a bogey. I feel the pain.
That's what makes this game so great. It can put test you and knock anyone down at any time.
The second one is next level
A compilation of a typical round of golf for me
No one can miss a putt like Ernie.
Well, he once had the most envied putting-stroke ever. Used his shoulders/body so effortlessly where the putt came off his putter head so softly. Might cut Ernie Els a bit of slack. It has happened to many of us.
I would say Lexi and Michelle Wie are right up there with him...

0:30 how to shank the put.
2:30 -- "Get a new putter!" I lost it 😂
I am actually surprised we don't see more of that, its so easy to do.
Ernie Els & Rory could each have their own dedicated videos of just this
Some of Ernie's misses were by 3-4 inches for a two-foot putt!
Missing a 3 footer usually isn’t the yips - its usually miss reading or reading in too much break
Look at the stroke nimrod
The second putt is more of a seizure than a stroke..biggest heel strike in history, so yes..it’s a yip
Scott and els highlight package
Update this with Rory at Pinehurst US Open missing a 2 foot putt then a 3 footer at 18 to lose to Bry58n 😂
I love watching Otto Hennie in this category.
"Was that six putts, or only five? In all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself." Clint Eastwood at the 1972 Celebrity Pro-Am.
Oh been there done that! Nothing pisses ya off more than to miss a two foot putt but it happens.
Golf Mix will be the best golf account in a year or so. Mark my words.
Hell yeah brother
good vid,. and congrats on 1k
Appreciate it
Ernie's putts should reassure all the golf hackers out there (I'm one of them!)
Anyone can miss a short putt. Anyone.
But a 4 year old with a borrowed putter could pop in a two or three foot putt. One handed probably.
So why is it so hard for serious, trained golfers?
Answer that question, and you've solved the yips.
I was about to say "look at all of them, they all have standard grips" then i saw Ernie, etc. missing them with exotic grips too :) The yips are real!
There is no limit to the amount of humiliation the game of golf can give you.
I had the yips many years ago despite being one of the best putters in the club before and afterwards.

@@bonethirsty Interestingly both my father and brother also have the yips. My brother switched to chipping left handed and is now a great chipper.
Every putt makes someone happy
Wild that some of these guys miss then walk up and knock it in without even thinking.
They miss it cuz they ARE thinking.

The alignment of her feet and shoulders are miles off from each other lol, no wonder she missed with a setup like that
The people laughing in the background too lmao
Was making putting way harder on myself using a blade style putter switched back to a mallet head now the knee knockers an alignment an general has been alot better.
I have at least one missed putt like these per round. I almost dread walking to the green.
“That is just so sad to witness”🤣🤣
Reminds me of my last round... and the one before that...

Surely Ernie should have done a Specsavers advert. It would have gone down a storm.
Makes one respect Tiger more and just for his cuts made streak alone !
Thanks again my man. Possible suggestions, I wouldn't mind seeing non pro moments. Like am pro am/ celeb and even juniors if possible. Just some thoughts to help. Thanks again
You want to see juniors miss putts? That's just cruel dude
@@thomascordingley3346 lol not exactly more along the lines of their highlights, efforts and caddie conversations
The great Harry Vardon had putting woes off and on. He used a 14 inch putter at one time
I noticed that a lot of the pros missed the putt on the right side not the left.

these are so fun to watch
Very enjoyable to watch
Ah something finally relatable :)
Gotta dub some quirky music in the dead silence spots.
One thing in common w/ all these. No confidence and/or nerves and just a poor stroke
And they almost all miss it right
Mick 1107 the dreaded push
Ernie Els" SIX putted from less than 2 feet"--- let that soak in
I'll take a few tips from Ernie on ball striking with irons, but definitely not on Putting!
Poor Ernie man .. One of my favorite golfers but boy is his putting rough sometimes 😬

Golf is a weird game. Ernie Els has the mental tranquility and confidence to have that slow and rhythmic swing, but even he can get the yips.
the entire roll was basically Els
Good thing I take a gimme for every one of these putts
The yips are no joke. It sucks when they show up.

Thanks for the nightmares 🤗
It must be the putter. It worked perfectly last week.
“Get a new putter!” 2:30
