Moe Norman was My Friend: SEGMENT 3

Right Hand Lifeline palm grip gave Moe a major mechanical advantage. No tour player and no one currently teaching their perception of Moe's mechanics understands this or teaches it either.
Moe Norman's perceptions and phrases used in clinics with Jack Kuykendall
Moe was born on July 10, 1929.
He had a photographic mind and could remember ever thought or place he felt was important.
Phrases Moe Learned on his Golf Journey
(The majority of Moe’s quotes were from Paul Bertholy)
1. Knowledge
2. Psychology of Learning
3. Sincere enthusiasm for teaching
4. Ability to reach a level of communication with the student.
5. No confusion in the presentation.
I see a claw of my right hand at the top of my backswing and see this claw going under the ground at impact and grabbing the ball and taking it to the flag stick. I see the claw grab the flag stick and lift it out of the hole and I see the ball go in the hole and then I set the flag stick back in the hole.
• Buckle, sit, slide, and bump.
• Stabilize, energize, contain, release.
• Most amateurs, strike, steer, stare, and stall.
• The golf ball is my friend. He always goes where I want him to.
• If they had a tournament in the dark, I'd be the only one who could play. I'd know where to walk.
• Golf is hitting an object to a defined target area with the least amount of effort and an alert attitude of indifference.
• Let your body enjoy the shot. Let it enjoy the shot. That's the biggest word, let.
• (On the golf ball); we’re great friends... The ball always goes where I want it to go!
• The club and ball don't have any feelings.
• What's the worst position in golf? "Moe drops a ball from shoulder height" (inferring out of bounds)

I am sure they are playing the most challenging courses GOD has to offer and laughing at how bad the saint's strike the ball.

Moe's simple golf techniques....I wish I had learned of him earlier. He's been an enormous help. Thank you Moe....

It was not his technique. It was the grip in the lifeline of the palm of his right hand (creating a single-axis) between his right hand and forearm that made him a great ball striker. The Vardon grip, Ben Hogan's finger grip and Jack Nicklaus stating that you could never square the clubface with Moe's right hand grip contributed to golfers using a NON-OPTIMUM grip.
