[jeffmagic32]

I love after he made his put at 1:38 he already has swagger and the wave to the fans down. Beautiful swing and I'm sure he works very hard too. Go get em Ethan all the best wishes to you and your Dad!!

[W68NOOB]

Has He had any hole's in ones? by that way?

dont mean to brag but i got my first when i was 4 on a mini links course haha (mini links not mini golf) it was around a 80 yard hole)

got my second and so far last one when i was 8 and it was on a 130 yard hole par 3

[W68NOOB]

He Cant hit it very far but that will come with age any way good job ethan :)

[MrRoadhole]

This Boy is great! kid |& a great talent!!! USKids shorten all the courses, so every par3 is reachable in 1 shot, par 4 in 2, 5 in 3 !! the finals @ pinehurst are the hardest finals to gain entry to, I promise you, the games next greats are playing here!!! keep going Ethan!! listen to your dad!! you will always get people who knock you!!! . My son Christian Johnson will play the 2012 @ Pinehurst ,go to MrRoadhole and view his swing!!!

[zanister]

[srfin24]

natalie gulbis swing

[megacoolkid94]

damn just think of how good this kid will be when he's in his teen years

[TheCavalierairsoft]

how far do you drive the ball 80-120 yards

[stevepising]

very different swing to a year before - lost that lovely controlled 3/4 length back swing. Much more head movement now too. Still, technique not hugely important at this age more about keeping him interested and stimulated in the game. He looks like a little shrunken tour pro.

[bigsleep32]

When a 7 year old asks if he can play through it's definitely a blow to the old ego.

I wish this young man all the best and hope all his golfing dreams come true.

(@MrEndy91) Mnay thanks! I will let Ethan know your suggestion tomorrow morning or after school. BTW, he is also trying out Nike Juice now. But, he seems doesn't like the way Nike juice reacts on his LW (the club he practiced the most). - Ethan's dad

[MrEndy91]

i'd review your ball choice. nike vapor speed are 3 piece, designed for club head speeds around 100mph. you might find he gains more distance with a 2 piece ball. fantastic wee player though. keep it up!

[hotshot3c]

I'm sry if I offend anybody but for Christ sake people the par 4 was only 190 and he uses his driver the hole time. I'm not saying he's bad he has like the best swing ever and is a great player but common he's not as good as u guys think

[twinprime]

@hotshot3c He is the 8th best kid golfer in the US so I think he's pretty good ;-)

[ProGolfer323]

wow, u have some real tallent. i never knew a 7 year old could be that good, but u r!

i played 1 round on the pga tour once, and i saw some great tallent. and u would fall right in that catagory. i hope u can go pro, just keep practicing, and u'll get it!

[stonepolisOG]

Needs to lose the downward dip of the head on the downswing or hes in for some serious back trouble later in life...funny he didn't have it when he was younger.

[myc724]

@stonepolisOG Many thanks for the suggestion! I will let him knows. -- Ethan's dad

[WackySquirrels]

@stonepolisOG

ur right he didn't used to do that

[emanuelquijada17]

@stonepolisOG why lose the dip? it wont hurt his back?

[silowhore]

@stonepolisOG all great ball strikers drop a touch in the back swing then again in the downswing

[jbizzle231]

Ethan dont start swaying on me. You're much too talented!

[wangjuifu]

his swing reminds me of Natalie the LPGA player... both of them keep the neck down when contact the ball

[sessien]

Greatt swing

[mrjulianball]

that golf course is so short

[UntitledProject123]

@mrjulianball maybe cos its for juniors

[RK831]

His swing was far better when he was six. Something crept into his swing since then. His swing at seven has some sway to it, hence inconsistency.

[myc724]

Because of a family issue, we went back to Taiwan for 2 months (so he did not practice for 2 months). Then, at the World Championship, he was trying to over-power (by doing much longer up-swing) to catch the distance he lost. We did not realize until getting back and showing those videos to his coach. Yet, it was a great lesson to him.

Great Play Ethan - thanks for the video
