Moe once owned 39 course records in Canada....on one exhibition at a driving range....2 posts 40 yards apart at 240 yards he hit driver 1500 times for SEVEN hours and NOT ONE. drive finished outside of either post! truly a golf savant.

i saw Moe demonstrate his skills three different times, and was totally in awe. Someone from the audience asked Moe to hook or slice and bring the ball back to the fairway. Moe said "why would I do that, when I can hit straight down the middle of the fairway to begin with".

I know a guy who knew Moe. He said when he was a kid, he and other kids would stand out on the driving range with a baseball glove. Moe would tell them to hold the glove in the air and not move. Moe would then hit ball after ball into the glove on the fly. Said it was the most amazing thing he’s EVER seen done with a golf club.

I have been studying Moe for 12-yrs and just noticed that he said in Kirk Junge's video, at a private Natural Instructors clinic in Florida during 2000, that he got his swing from Manuel de la Torre's father, Angel, Manuel and Edward Jones. Correction: on the second name, it was Ernest Jones not Edward Jones. Ernest was from the UK and lost his right leg, below the knee during a battle, in 1915, as a soldier. He spent four months in the hospital, then went to the golf course on crutches and shot 83. He was totally amazed at his own accomplishment !!! (Note that Moe wasn't born until 1929). A short while after, Ernest was playing par 72 golf, once again. He was a good player, a golf club maker and then a teacher. He says everyone's swing will be slightly different but to a) "swing the clubhead", b) "hit the ball past the head" and the brain will figure out the body / muscle mechanics to hit the ball, similar to how we all use a hammer to hit a nail. Just like Sir Walter Thompson thought, in 1887, Ernest said, "...we don't need to know how every component in our body or muscles work to use them efficiently." As I understand his method, It is a 'club / tool based' concept rather than a 'body, bone / muscle based' concept. Absolutely fascinating to me....I have a lot more to learn, now....

Ok: So I have been playing for about 50 years. Just yesterday, I gave this a real try, the one plane idea. I stretched my arms and tried to get myself in a similar position to Moe's at address. I worked at it for about an hour on the range and then shot even par 36 on our front nine with missing 5 putts inside of 10 feet. Seriously never hit the ball so straight. I was so impressed I continued and hit another 200 balls at the range. At 64 years young, the game is beginning again.

David Coley I'm studying it. My goal is to work towards incorporating every principle of his swing that I like into my swing. Currently I'm working on understanding how his weight transfer worked. I thought it was all about keeping the right heel on the ground as long as possible but I discovered that the weight must be going towards the target while doing so. After I'm comfortable with my weight transfer I plan to study his grip. I'm trying to emulate his swing because one day I tried his way of hitting the golf ball and fell deeply in love with results.

Dr Jones Look at the shot hit at 3:22. It is rolling forward then slows and rolls backwards 5 feet! Look again st 4:45, the green must be incredibly sloped back to front. If he lands then anywhere within 25 feet of the hole, the heavily sloped green automatically brings it to within 10 feet. Most tour pros can hit a land a ball within 25 feet from 70ish yards, calling him the best ballstrikier of all time is hilarious.

I was amazed at how great the pros actually are .

Better equipment, more standardized training, modern knowledge on knowledge and diet to maximize performance, most pros had a golf mentality drilled into their head since they were young kids. It's not as much about what he did, but the insanely unconventional way he did it. Even in his contemporary, players like Nicklaus and Palmer could probably do this as well. He may have had a more robotic consistency, but they had more power, a greater variety of shots, and likely a better short game, not to mention great consistency themselves, if a slightly larger variation. His accomplishments are most highlighted by his unique methods.

darvish2012 I don't think the single plane swing has much to do with it. May help some but in general it's how much you practice and what you practice that determines your ball striking ability. Moe practiced a LOT. I think he could have used any swing, single, double, triple plane whatever and got the same results. I think he was both talented and loved to hit golf balls. Moe goes through the hitting area like nobodies business, not even lee trevino i don't think was that flat through the hitting area. It's incredible. The single plane definitely makes his swing arc huge no doubt helping him get so flat for so long through the hitting area but he still has to swing the club properly, with tension free arms and body and not forcing it or hurrying it in any way like all of us amatuers do. IMHO opinion it's not about swing planes but it's more about losing the muscle induced pull from the top and all the tension in our bodies which seems to happen the second you set up to the ball lol. Take a look almost every amateur has the prefect practice swing which vanished the second they pull the trigger on the real one lol. It's hillarious. No amount of swing place induced theory is going to fix that issue I'm sure.

I had the opportunity to watch Moe Norman on several occasions hit golf balls at Royal Oaks GC in Titusville FL where he spent many winters. On one occasion hit approximately 50 balls with a 7 iron to a flag on the range. This flag was 145 yards from where he was hitting from that day into a slight breeze. Moe hit 95% of those balls within a 10 - 15 foot radius of the flag. Many were within 5 - 7 feet. Now for you naysayers I tried the same 50 balls and as a 4.1 index at the time I can tell you that from my own personal experience I achieved less than 25% within the same 10 -15 foot range. Moe was a genius although at the time he really didn't understand that he was. Moe was different with an odd golf swing that didn't fit into the mainstream theories about how one should swing a golf club. There are many ways to swing a golf club. Look at the swings of Trevino, Sneed, Hogan, Player, Palmer, Watson, Woods and Jack. Watch their videos and tell me that they are all the same. Nope you can't do it. They are all different as is Moe Norman. So just sit back and enjoy the video of one of the greatest ball strikers of all time.

Average Tour player hits a 70-yard shot from the fairway to about 16 feet. I think he found his groove and that helped him hit the shots close. But, he is hitting most of those shots inside 8-feet and more like inside 4-feet. From a 70-yard shot perspective..and given his age...this was an awesome display. I just think people have these fallacies about Tour players and how close they hit the ball to the cup from this distance.

It's pretty good I'd say the slope on the back of the green definitely stopped a few of those running of the back tho impressive none the less

From what I have read about Moe Norman, he was a bit of an odd duck and the PGA didn't really want him to be successful and be represented on the tour. He didn't like to fly and travel and hence he had relatively few tournament appearances. He probably suffered from a mild form of autism if what I have read is true. I believe that Titleist gave him a lifetime contract that paid him enough to be comfortable even though he wasn't playing on the tour. That swing is amazing and so consistent, thanks for sharing the video.

I counted 30 balls on the green. I would estimate 20 were within maybe 7 to 8 feet. Most of those within 5 feet. A couple maybe 10 feet. The others maybe 20 to 25 feet or so. Pretty good for an old man hitting from 70 yards away. All 30 shots on the green. If a pro was 20 yards or so from the pin that would be pretty good. I doubt many pros could do that from 70 yards. Maybe. Some of the very best. His consistency is amazing. His ball striking second to none.

@@eddiestevens3220 One thing is for sure, Moe Norman wasn't bat shit crazy. When is the last time Titlest or any other Corporation gave you $5,000 per month for life?

Tiger knows he don't "own" his swing like Moe did and he, along with 99% on Tour don't really know or own their swings the ways Moe owned his! Fairways and greens hit stats show/say it all! None on tour today, I'd be willing to bet, even come close today as what Moe's records would show his stats were!

i saw Moe years ago in Oshawa, he would not hit in front of the stands, he took his towel and wet it in a puddle , asked us to form a horseshoe around him and proceeded to hit a giant bucket of balls. He could call out the direction and distance of each shot. A wonder to see.

He's a legend. He's what, 60 or more here? If someone, a caddie or a mentor or whatever, had of really helped Moe Norman integrate into the PGA (and if the golfing establishment hadnt been so callous), imagine how many Majors this guy could have won?

The incline at the back does not mean its an easy shot. You have to use it correctly. What you think you can just line drive the ball a hundred miles an hour and the incline will put it by the pin. Moe is the guy that the pros stop and watch when hes on the range>> yes he was that good. That was certainly not the most difficult shot I can think of but the way he did it at that pace and at that age was simply amazing. Jack Nicklaus can not duplicate that performance at the same age and pace!

As I’m fairly new to golf, I find this whole Mo thing fascinating. In these videos it seems like there’s always someone clowning the guy behind the camera or treating him like a child or freak for some reason. The controversy seems so strange too. It’s like, the golf ball is telling you it’s a perfectly fine swing.

David Coley All that matters is what happens at impact. He stays on shaft plane during entry and exit, which many tour players try to achieve but is difficult to do at high club speeds. Hance why Moe could never make it on the main tour and stuck to the minis

I am right handed, and I started playing golf what they call left handed. I had a problem with body rotation and slicing the ball. So I switched to right handed position. Dominant hand does not like to be in a position below not dominant hand. Took me months to get used to having left hand dominate right hand.
