Joyce Henley in Cardiff UK says:

COMMENTS FROM 2005:

Darren Kardos writes:
"I would just like to say that I think that Ernie is the best golfer in my eyes, (you the best Ernie) ,you have changed many lives and I will watch and follow in you for the rest of my life."

Jack Whitfield of Warrington, Manchester, England says:
"Ernie is a true golfing god; people might think Tiger might be the only one to rip one off the tee when he needs to, but look at Ernie at the 18th at Dubai. His swing is sensational and it is sooooo EASY!!!!!!! They dont call him the big easy for nothing. I can promise you something ... Tiger and Vijay wont be at the top for long."

Angelo V. from Michigan writes:
"One of the last of his kind, a true gentleman of the sport, a class act, wonderful swing, gracious and kind to everyone he meets. I believe that Ernie Els is the world's greatest complete golfer, especially where etiquette is concerned."

Johan and Magda ELS say (in Afrikaans I think):
"Baie geluk ERNIE NOU VI. Baie geluk ERNIE nou vir nommer een op die wereld ranglys, van jou naamgenote en van dieselfde tuisdorp Kemptonpark."

Jossie from Munich writes:
"Ernie Els is not only a great player - he is a nice person too! He is down to earth and has no airs around him. I wish him and his nice family all the best. GO, Ernie! You can do it!"

Klippie Melck, Plettenberg Bay says (after the British Open):
"Well played Ernie, we followed your fortunes after a great braai at one of the lodges at Fancourt. Your comeback was outstanding. On the day Todd was fantastic, he kept his cool and has to be admired. Your fans are all firmly behind you. Good luck for the PGA."

A Swing Geek in TX writes:
"Ernie's got the best looking swing in the history of golf. When I'm tight and swinging with too much tension, I take a minute to reflect on one swing thought (of the several dozen or so from which I have to choose, filed away in my noggin) which is "Easy, look effortless." or basically a reminder to be as smooth as Ernie. Great golfer, great man, good luck, Ernie."

Mike Robbertze from Vancouver says:
"Thanks for the years of great entertaining golf; being an ex-south africa golfer you remind me of my heritage ever time I see you play. You are a great ambassador and keep up the pressure on you know who !!!"

Kathy Arscott, always a Capetonian, in Vancouver writes:
"Ernie, my fellow countryman, I LOVE you as much as your twin, Retief! Good Luck in 2002 - I watch every single game that is televised in Canada."

She adds later: "He's a gorgeous hunk and I wish I was 30 years younger!"
