This is obviously a 4 year old story. I've met Ernie numerous times, and always wondered if this actually happened. I've watched him down 24+ Heinekens in one sitting. He could probably near double that if he had to.

Ernie played rugby and is a big guy.

Who I haven't met was Steve Marino - until recently.

The puzzle pieces are now complete, so here is the story.

Els is big but not huge. I’m 6’3” and he isn’t as tall as me. I’ve stood right next to him at Bay Hill. But whatever...

“...and Els strokes him...”

I hope this means something else in “non American” English...

You know who they said was muscular, Tiger Woods.

He walked right next to me on the 16th tee at Sawgrass.
I was a couple inches taller, and quite a bit more muscular.
At the time I was 6’2” 205 lbs.

I’m 6 3” (230lbs)

I shook hands with the guy and I felt like I was kid shaking hands with an adult… his hand was twice the size of mine. Big dude!

What’s wrong with “don’t mess with him?”

Agree. I’m 6’ 1” and he is a big guy. You’re correct about his hands as well. Big guy who likes his Greenies foshore...

As with Elon Musk, this will all be connected to El’s South African background.

Els has a serious problem and should check out AA.

Early in his career Tiger was very slim when I stood next to him. Almost wispy. He bulked up quite a bit over the years like most people. But still in great shape.

I don’t recall the exact year, but I think around 2006 or so.
He was in good shape, but not what I would call “muscular”
I worked out at meathead gyms where dudes were taking Vitamin S…
I was around my natural peak at the time.
Woods was in better shape than probably every golfer.
I think then was peak Michelson man boob time…
