  • Moe Norman Interview for the 1994 PGA coaching and teaching summit.
    This video is shared with the permission of the PGA of America who filmed this in 1994. The Q&A is from PGA member Craig Shankland who has released this Moe Norman demo at no charge to the public.
    This video is for all the Moe Norman fans out there. It is not instruction, and I no longer teach Moe's Golf swing. Having learned a lot from Moe and having taught his swing for many years I learned why most golfers fail at copying him as they fail in copying other golfers swings. In the schools teaching his swing I would watch golfer after golfer hit the ball poorly without being able to make simple adjustments that would help them hit the ball better right away. So I left the company teaching his swing (or trying to) and started my own method which takes some elements that I learned from Moe and formed my Setup 4 Impact golf method, which allows for very fast improvement with no loss of distance or accuracy. It is the easiest way to improve at golf with none of the problems of trying to exactly copy another person's golf swing. More info at setup4impact.com or here on my UA-cam channel / k2junge

      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.

      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.

    • @HILLTOPGOLF
      @HILLTOPGOLF 7 місяців тому +1

      @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.

    @chrisb594 3 роки тому +12

    After watching every online video of Moe including every Graves golf video, I understand now why he started the club so far behind the ball but not because of what he says in this video.
    If he starts the club directly behind the ball as he come down to it, the face could be slightly open or closed. He starts it there because as he come down into the same point the club will be around square but it's the lateral movement toward the target which keeps the club square through impact. So, like he says, he is square through impact longer, that's why it goes straight everytime. The lateral motion toward the target makes the club path straight towards the target.
    There is another old video of someone critiquing Moe and drawing lines on the video.
    He shows Moes hand path through the downswing and it's not an arc like you would expect, you see the path stay lateral straight towards the target for about 12inches at least and the person narrating calls it an exquisite move.

    Been watching this video since it first came out on UA-cam. Always learn something new. I knew Moe from way back. (I'm almost 80.) What they) don't tell you is Moe was gifted with incredible coordination. What that means is simple: what you see here is NOT that simple. That's why you rarely find a golfer who has success with his single-plane swing, even after sometimes days of practice. THE HARDEST THING TO DO IN GOLF IS TO HIT THE BALL STRAIGHT. He did it without even trying, and for hours on end. But another thing they don't tell you is that he also could do it with any kind of swing out there. But it's fun trying. Until, that is, it becomes apparent that most people just can't do what he did, period. In any case, good luck.

      +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!!!

    @andrewconnor4429 8 місяців тому +1

    Around 21:00 he is talking about having left arm above right. Look up the axe drill by Pete Cowen. The takeaway and downswing like that, but you need to turn and pull the left arm like he says, to shallow the club. You also need to pivot your pelvis on the same axist so your right butt pushes back against an imaginary wall, and then on downswing left butt pushes into the wall.., spinning the pelvis on the same plane as you sway, This is the key to consistent striking when you don't know what to do with your arms...

    Two words come to mind after watching these two videos of Moe Norman: Unique, Fascinating. I don't know if I will ever be able to hit another golf ball now! I have only watched Mr. Norman a few times in the past, but only for a short time. I really enjoyed these two part videos of such a unique and different approach to the basic fundamentals of a golf swing. To say his methods were different would be a drastic understatement. However, some fundamentals were right in line with what is basically taught in golf. I learned like most true golfers from Ben Hogans Five Lessons. I wish the narrator would have asked Moe what he thought about Ben Hogan's swing thoughts because they are so different. His grip philosophy, swing plane, body movements, feet position and hip rotation verses upper body rotation are so different than what is taught. Moe is exactly right about the individual aspect of people's abilities to swing a golf club and make solid contact. His mental approach, I. E. smelling the shot, not just visually seeing it is his genius.
