It's so wonderful to see the players using long irons for their approach shots into a par 4 green. We don't see that anymore in the modern professional game. It's all Driver - Wedge now. Great upload.

George, what a swing,! Stan too. Just fantastic. This is great, thanks Trevor

In one additional comment, not only was this Knudson's finest putting performance, it was the only time it could be referred to as putting!! His other putting performances in televised matches were so miserable that they totally undermined his tee to green artistry. That he won eight times on tour is a testament to his shotmaking brilliance. The more George Knudson videos of any kind, the better!!

I worked for Mr. Leonard at the Desert Island CC in Rancho Mirage, CA in 1975 and 1976. I remember him as a nice man who demanded a good work ethic and great customer service. I really didn't know about his achievements, but he did help me with my golf. It's been interesting, over the years, to learn more about his career. Thank you for posting this video.

Thought I'd seen them all, but wow was i wrong! Saved for multiple views for friends. Hitting 2 irons, 4 woods etc...did they ever show or comment on the balls being used other than they were the American size? I also liked lumber video!

To comment further, Knudson played the par fives in five under par!! This is a perfect example of what an artist the sweet swinging Canadian was. George Knudson's swing had to be top five all time. And he was an even greater striker of the ball. Like Hogan, Knudson was calable of incredibke rounds when the blade cooperated.

luv watching Stan slap the putt with his right wrist like Casper & Palmer....another era 👍

Thanks for the upload, always love to see new (old) shell matches and this course is stunning. Knudson is a great player to watch as well. Both guys on fire for a stretch.

Wonderful! thanks.

Thanks so much for sharing this video! Been looking for the full version for a long time.

that 3 iron shot at 7:25 was absolute butter. (Edit: had tee shot yards initially but was corrected)

This has got to be one of the best matches ever!

The year I was born , 59 years ago … wow!

Capilano- like many of Canada's best course, designed but the great Stanley Thompson.

these guys could putt. enjoyed the match.

Nice video

Much like Ben Hogan in the Shells World of golf matchup with his great rival Sam Snead. Knudson was his usual phenomenal self from tee to green. Only this time, he renembered his putter!! Had Knudson been even a decent putter, he would have been an all time great. This match shows how incredible he could have been with all facets working. YES, HE WAS THAT GREAT A BALL STRIKER. Its a treat to watch this artist at work. Bravo, Trevor Stymie!!

George Knudson>>>>Set on a shaft plane and at impact HE returned it right back to the same shaft plane! making him a single planer!!
