He knew HIS swing, and really that's the only one anyone needs to know--his/her very OWN.

If every tour pro hit the driver 250. Would we have the modern equipment we have today? Would courses be short. Would there be a Bryson DeChambeau?

Absolutely!

Lol he was in a car accident when he was 5 and had frontal lobe damage his whole life

@@firly3 ...k?

Right :-)

He was comfortable and at ease with children. Very wary of adults. He had few adult friends. To meet or speak with Moe one was introduced to him by his friends. I always felt he was exploited by Natural Golf. His nature was childlike and very sensitive. Most likely due to some form of autism. Difficult to know exactly. Truly unique human being. Never saw him without a club in his hands. If not a club then he would hold a ball or two. I have a picture of me standing next to him. A treasured remembrance of this man. R.I.P. Moe.

I can’t remember if the ball went straight. Can somebody remind me.

7 years

Nipplefish Digweed lmao

Well at 8:28 Moe says he could hit 500 balls and never get dirt 1 piece of dirt on the toe of his club 25 seconds later at 8:53 he is wiping dirt of the toe of his club 🤣

If you were that accurate, could you imagine how pissed you'd be when you do finally miss a fairway?

When was the last time you hit a fairway, Sid ? Been 7 years now.

When was the last time you made a putt Moe? Moe: I don't remember. I'm just a ball striker with no PGA wins. I couldn't win at that level". Proof that you drive to show and putt for $doe>

@@PapaBean1214 Moe shot 59 three times, how many times have you? No need to reply, I already know the answer. Haters gonna hate.

@@joemarks3719 Moe was apparently a great ball striker. But I have heard that about so many pros. But the bottom line is how many pro tournaments did you win? The short game is what makes or breaks. so shooting 59 3xs doesn't mean squat if you didn't win. The guy NEVER won on the PGA. No need to reply. I know you never won on the tour.

He's the only man in the world who is modest. lol

Take the swing you have and add Moe's extended arms. See what happens.

not literally though...look up the word

Grip in the palms?

"I dont even know what a bogey is" 😂😂legend

Not the most modest of men, to be certain. Enough so that he rubbed his fellow competitors the wrong way. Until they finally ostracized him from the tour. Yet, onlly Ben Hogan knew as much about the golf swing as Moe Norman. A pure genius of simplicity. From the wider base for more balance, to standing further away so he could extend his arms better. His right hand grip is also contrary to what is taught. Out of the fingers and into the palm for greater feel. And no twisting in the right hand whatsoever!! I would say his Number One Move though is placing the club at least four to six inches behind the ball at address. There are too many advantages to this to count. As he said it eliminates a full foot of the swing. It takes the club back straighter and slower. It opens the rear shoulder at address for greater turn at the outset. It takes the club back lower to create a similar swing arc as well. Other than that it's not that good!! One subtle, final aspect of his swing that you will notice is he had almost no bend in his knees at address. Whether this was right or wrong, his posture never changed. If your knees don't bend its impossible to have an inconsistent setup in your legs. Every variable, every dumb thing a player could do in his swing was eliminated. His only weakness was he constantly reminded everyone exactly how great he was. Players that good don't like to be reminded how much better he was than them. Even if it was true! Moe Norman was an almost unparalleled genius. A fact he was keenly aware of. And he made certain others knew it as well.

@donaldschmidt2990 yes he let everyone know for sure how great he was…and he was! I knew him relatively well and hit many balls with him one on one. There’s no doubt he was misunderstood all his life so as he got older you could sense he was frustrated in that no one ever tried to learn from him. He felt the world wasn’t taking notice and being older he wanted his voice to be heard about his methods. To leave a legacy. He obviously couldn’t teach it in the traditional sense of the word. Up here in eastern Canada (specifically Ontario and Quebec) he would tour and put on dozens of clinics as a means to make ends meat. He almost had a mythical folklore type status about him at that time. We can thank Mark Evershed (PGA of Canada like myself) and Lorne Rubenstein for getting the word out about Moe. We already knew up here what a living legend he was and thankfully Golf Digest came out with him on the cover in December 95. The rest is history.

That hack swing would never make it on the tour in 2016.

How long have you been on a crusade against non-conformity? I wish I were as much of a "hack" golfer as he was. Perhaps you could post some of your swings so you can set us all straight and show us the way it must be done?

Logically, I'm not sure you can call someone who shot 59 three times a "hack". There are six players that shot 59 or better on the PGA tour.

Wrong!...

Go away moron

He literally hit 1,000 balls a day. There is nothing easier about this.

It is an economy of motion not necessarily simple. What simple thing do you do that took 4 million repetitions to get the knack. I know, none!

There are many hazards in the sky. They are called trees, fences, structures, power poles etc…

To a point

Patrick Pitts Christ man , it’s about Moe

You really don't lose distance I use Todd Graves setup and actually have gained distance

Only if you can guarantee that your accurate 3 wood can be as precise as Dustins 9-iron, etc. Problem is that even if you could just point a 2 iron where you wanted it, there are lots of places where you cannot stop it in time, where as a rockhard 7-iron WILL stop and yes then it might go 10 yards left/right but it will hold the green.

@@barath4545 Every golfer here would LOVE to have accuracy. Even if they could not gain more yardage.

Moe was the only one who could hit it perfect setup as he did. There are much easier ways to swing for those who want to swing a club on a single plane. Even Moe said "swing like you, not like me"

I’ve hit a ball 300 yards off the tee using this swing.

I have a Korean buddy 5’4” who can hit it 300 yds.

The ball doesn’t know how big you are

@@mrleeonthetrack same. I hit 315-350 with this swing

+60DegreeLobWedge Actually Moe had the easiest to repeat golf swing in the history of the game, which gave him his great confidence. That is why he had no self doubt. He knew he could hit it dead straight because of his fundamentals. My experience teaching his swing has shown that anybody will improve when copying Moe if they do it in the correct manner. Do as Moe did, not as he said!!!

+Kirk Junge But you should do as he said! “I only see the good things”, “I imagine it, then I do it”, “I never think of hazards”, “there are no bogeys in my bag” etc. You can’t go wrong by copying his attitude and confidence regardless of how you swing the club.

@@Setup4Impact he also hit 1,000 balls a day. Why is that detail ignored. You present this Swing as simple and repeatable.

Bryson did try using Moe’s swing years ago, but it hurt his back. So he stands much closer with the club more upright and turns much more actively than Moe did.

Best of the best? Yet he won nothing on the PGA tour in 27 events?🤣🤣🤣

He also was playing the last hole of a tournament leading by one. Par 5, hit second shot next to the green, chipped it sideways into the bunker and got it up and down, just because. I got to see him hit balls at the world cup 1993 at Lake Nona. Had about 50 people around him and some of the greatest players watching him put on a show with someone elses clubs, was fantastic.

Those rich pretentious pricks bullied him off the tournament and he was on par to win it. They hated his swing. His clothes. And his hair. Said he was embarrassing. I guess the white man hated on their own kind as Moe was dirt poor. At the time. Glad Titleist picked him up. And he didn't pass on broke. Such a positive person. Harmless.

No shit, they literally say that in like the first minute of the video.

Right. So where is the documentation? Because that’s what the word documented means

Mark of a great shot. Hit what you're aiming at. Always practice to a specific target.

What exactly is the MN swing? Grip in both lifelines?

Haha I know right ?

Lmao ok bud I’m sure you mastered it 😂😂😂

Or his autism Id place money on that rather than his swing confidence

Every thing moves, trail arm folds, hips rotate while the club is 3/4 back, hands vertically drop and horizontal tug with lead hand. Keep feet on the ground and done.
