He made 25 cuts and when he finished 4th in New Orleans a couple of other pros gave him a dressing down about his behaviour, dress etc. He felt unwanted and disgruntled so went home to Canada and only competed there. He was still an amateur when he played the Masters and had come down from not playing all winter in Kitchener Ontario. He played with Bob Rosburg the 2nd round and Rossie said he missed only one green and no fairways. Wasn’t comfortable on the fast greens. The guy could flat out play.

I hit it very straight, guys starting telling me of Mo, so here i am. I never had teaching, i have a putter grip on a driver, people cant fiqure out how my balls stay straight. After watching Mo, and listening, i actually do alot of his techniques , the reach, the body mechanics. Crazy, Because people see my club, and think hes a 100 guy, and then they see, im 100% fairway usely every time I play. Its very frustrating to drive like this, and not finish the deal, probably 90% of the time. 80s to 90s,, and should be 70s

I dont get to play much at all and I shoot in the mid 90's. When I put in the work and break 80 next season the first person I will thank is Moe.

This is the holy grail of the golf swing. After watching the video's I first got the feeling of greatness with the putter - then I got the feeling with my clubs - Moe has revealed the true secret of golf in these videos - If Moe had been able to cope with the tour he would have won every event he played in. When you understand or actually use his technique it is truly the feeling of greatness hitting a golf ball. Its incredible you setup and fire the shot, whether 20 ft or 280 yards. One last thing, I have seen some videos on here of people claming to duplicate his technique - they are not even close.

At range I can go all day but when I walk and carry, the legs struggle to maintain feel. Hate to give in to cart golf, love the atmosphere of the course. A major part of that is walking. Thanks Moe!

Purity of technique is excellence. That makes him a Zen Master. You cannot win a major if you are not in the field. Now if you win the Canadian Open which is part of uspga tour you get a two year exemption. A major would have given him a 5 year exemption. The world would have changed for him then but people did not want to make it happen in the USA. People make out he always looked like he does but there is a radio interview he did that is on KZbin that is called a 1963 Radio interview however within same he is asked his age he says 31 that makes it 1960 he was born in 1929. A lot of the irregularity with Moe was due to adverse comments by others who could not hold a candle to him. He attained so he deserved to.proclaim. A lot of people have proclaimed before they attained & this just made it more arduous for them to achieve. Moe in golf and life complied with and exceeded universal law. What a true legend. 3 rounds of 59, 17 holes in one 41 course records. The last score of 59 by him when he was 62 years old.

But to trust and enjoy that your swing will work if you relax enough and not worry but to enjoy and trust you're good enough if you don't worry and try to work the ball too much. To accept you'll hit it fine and straight and not be rigid and fearful. Be loose and confident. It's a life lesson.

Moe did use an overlap grip for all of his armature and professional career. It wasn't until after he 'retired' from pro golf that he started the 10 finger grip. All the 10 finger grip does is reduce the club by one or two at the most in distance. Doesn't matter though, I'm learning to swing like Moe and I love it. Wish I'd known about this swing in 1987. Moe is the greatest of all-time in my mind. Better than Hogan.

Just the observation of an old player and teacher who's been around the game for over 70 years, actually a PGA Half Century Club member. Moe is the only golfer I've ever seen who has the mental and physical mechanics to do the same thing shot after shot, day after day, year after year. Never a mental or muscular twitch! Incredible! Even the greatest billiard players of all times missed straight on shots occasionally. Moe didn't,( or so he says). Think of that! I never watched Moe in person but I've had the good fortune of watching, filming, and even talking to, dozens of the great players going back to Bobby Jones and I never saw one who could do this. In '56 I did watch Sarazen demonstrate bunker and medium wedge shots and he was incredible, but nothing like Moe. It is actually scary, and to me it borders on the supernatural plane, hitting one perfect shot after another, all the while yakking some jibberish about what he thinks he's doing. Anyone ever watch him putt?

Norman’s phenomenal skill as a ball-striker often overshadows his excellent playing record. He won 54 tournaments and set 33 course records. He shot three 59s and made 17 holes-in-one. He played briefly on the PGA Tour in 1959 but after receiving a dressing-down from officials and players for his unconventional behaviour following a fourth place finish at the Greater New Orleans Open, he was so upset he vowed never to play on the tour again. He returned to his native Canada

God bless this brilliant self made man- he owned his swing and no one ever hit the golf ball better than him - and he knew it! Unfortunately he was treated horribly in the US when he went on Tour here - who knows how many Majors he might have won. A legend and I'm so excited to be changing my swing to his unique single plane. If it's good enough for Bryson DeChambeau it's certainly worth my concerted effort.

The secret to hitting straight shots is getting face aligned to target not at impact but when the ball releases off the face. If you watch the action of Moe’s grip carefully you will see it allowed his wrists to hinge back a lot in the backswing but they locked when coming back to how he oriented them when lining up his body to the ball. When the wrist come back and lock it creates a law of physics reaction that causes the ball stuck to the face to explode off more then in the conventional swing which is a non-stop sweep through the ball. At impact he lifted up his back foot to keep everything moving, swinging the club up without the wrists turning over in the finish as they do when using the Vardon grip. I’m aware of two other golfers who used the same “lock wrists to square face” ball release technique: Ben Hogan and Harry Frankenberg (aka Count Yogi). And me, I adopted that technique into my swing a dozen years ago after studying and emulating the swings of those three. At the time I was working at a course where the teaching pro taught the single plane swing as part of the Todd Graves franchise using a set of same length irons.

This is good stuff. Just keep in mind what all good ball strikers tell you: the golf club is the extension of your arms. Thats exactly what Moe is doing. His arms and the club are just on line while addressing the ball. Try it and your will see the difference in the swing. I tried it myself and it deffinitely works!

Excellent - I've watched Moe hundreds of times but one this one with the zoom-in, he very clearly illustrates the BENEFIT of preventing the left leg from bending laterally. True, the sideways bend often leads to excessive hip rotations which leads to shots that draw, hook or even duck hooks! Don't ask me how I know - suffice it to say I've reformed from focusing on strong left hip "Reverse C" rotation and moving to the Single Plane Swing that prevents left knee rotation at impact - NAUGHTY, LOL!

I know he says to study your own swing, I agree, but there is a lot of good tips here to incorporate into any swing. Hogan built a swing to counter his flaws. Norman didn't do that. He built one that works. I don't see how this move couldn't work for almost anyone. Edit: I never get tired of watching this. Moe's swing may have been unique in the way he setup but the club moves flawlessly on plane and is consistently pointing at the plane when it's not parallel to it. Changing how a person sets up doesn't fix their swing. Changing how the club travels does change the swing and the setup will sort itself out. I was at this presentation and at the time, I had not heard of Moe. I sat there in disbelief. I rolled my eyes when Shankland said "here's the greatest ball striker." I was like "Moe, who?" 😂

We all make it way too hard.... listen to what he says and apply some of it to your swing. we'd all be better golfers. I've been using a similar club distance behind the ball to initiate my shoulder turn and I'm going to tell you it really has helped me hit the ball more accurately. Turn your shoulders, torso, arms & club about 2 feet behind (a little to the inside would be natural for some) the ball & start your swing from there. give it a try and laugh when you hit it solid.

Keys to Moe's swing (in order, in my opinion, of importance): 1) Set up with club and arm triangle on same plane 2) Well braced and flexed trail leg 3) "X" factor (more rotation of rib cage than hips) 4) Right elbow stays in relative position to rib cage back and through 5) Left shoulder stays reasonably well connected Distance from the ball is a matter of body type and comfort. While Moe gripped with the palms against the shaft, I can just about guarantee he held the club lightly in the finger tips. That's the feel of a one plane set-up. I especially like watching his short pitch shots...the arm triangle stays dead on plane; as pure as you can get. edit: Stupid me, I had set up last. It all starts there.

If you watch the slow motion at the end, notice how little hip and shoulder rotation he has. I know the camera angle maybe misleading but as he said almost no hip rotation. This seems very logical because for most people, hitting straight from a half swing is not so difficult. It's only when we rotate that we start to complicate the swing and find it difficult to consistently get back to the same moment of impact.
