Wow. I'm ... beyond words. Bravo to Ernie for speaking out about this. I hope more attention is turned to autism.

Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) now affects 1 in 150 children. This number is getting lower each year and is now considered epidemic. I feel for the Els family and applaud his decision to increase awareness.

that's got to be unbelievably tough. men tend to wrap up their hopes and dreams in the son(s) and to know that those won't come true at such a young age is pretty tough to deal with.

Yes this is sad. I'll be the first to say that I have criticized Ernie for his lack of good play in recent years, and nothing I said wasn't valid, but news like this is just a reminder of how little we fans actually know about what is really going on in the lives of the people we follow in sports.

i aplaude ernie. on a lighter note, people with disabilities can be great to hang around with. i am in best buddies at my school. it is aimed towards bringing those with disabilities closer with "regular" people. they are so expressive and exited about everything, and i hope ernie and others can make the best out of situations like this.

I wonder why its becoming more widespread, maybe something in the food we eat or air we breathe? All of a sudden it's everywhere. Things like that are one reason I don't have kids.

its more widespread because in recent years the term "autism" covers a lot more things.

    • I haven’t really filmed in a while. Starting to feel like my body is close to being at full strength again, but I am also 65! I played a few round and my distance is down as expected. Here are a 6 iron and driver swing. My grip is a bit weak in these so I’ve focused on that the last few days. I went over my Erie notes. I’m trying to swing down from the top and not out. I want my weight to start shifting forward at about P3. And I want to push my left hip back in the downswing, which I was not successful in these swings. Ball flight has been pushes or pull draws with the irons and fades with the driver. Looking at these swings I can see why. I just need to change the picture.   
    • I flipped the video above but here it is again so you see the flipped version, too.
    • Things can go awry quickly on that hole. 
    • I have played that course a lot. Mostly scrambles/outings. I enjoyed the read and could picture each hole and got nervous thinking about number 5. That hole is scary. 200 yard layup off the tee?
    • Even though you didn't score well, take solice in the fact you hit the longest drive of the year! 😏 I enjoy following your rounds and can imagine the scenario.   Thanks for sharing
