Champion golfer Ernie Els launches new training app

Four-time Major winner Ernie Els has launched the Ernie Els Driven iPhone app in partnership with Driven Apps of New York.

The iPhone training app offers customized training programs and video tutorials to help golfers improve their skills in every part of the game.

On his first iPhone app, Els says, "I am asked every week by amateurs how to play specific shots and for general advice on their game, which is why we developed this app."

Users can follow Ernie's swing tips through high quality instructional videos, shot at 300 frames per second, and practice using the same mini games and challenges as ‘The Big Easy' himself.

People can also use the swing analysis tool to compare their swing side-by-side with Ernie's, from multiple angles.

The high quality tutorials allow users to follow Ernie's swing in slow motion, with instruction on swing fundamentals, chipping, putting, bunker shots, and much more.

"The focus of Ernie Els Driven is centered around on-course instruction, and mini games that encourage repetition and facilitate overall improvement for golfers of all abilities," says Don Saladino, Founder and President of Driven Apps.

Ernie Els Driven is now available in the App Store for $4.99.  Users who download the app will receive "The Big Easy" bundle as part of their purchase which features practice tools such as record and compare and Ernie's metronome, as well as high quality instructional videos with Ernie.
