Brilliant footage. George has become one of my idols and I am currently studying his book The Natural Golf Swing which is the best golf book I have read thus far

This guy knew the golf swing and articulated it better than Hogan IMO. Hogan's book taught me how to grip the club, but Knudson taught me how to swing the club. I read Knudson's "Natural Golf Swing" in my 40's and hit the ball better than I ever had before. Wish I had learned that in my teens.

George Knudson had all 13 clubs in the bag. Unfortunately, the fourteenth club was the putter!! Beyond doubt one of the top ten swings of all time. For all his genius, and I mean GENIUS , from tee to green, it was betrayed by his ineptitude with the putter. His "Not So Magic Wand" kept him from winning 30 to 40 tournaments at a minimum. Or more. Watch his Shell matches and you will see a degree of ball striking that would make todays finest players envious. Followed by putting that would make a room full of grown men cry. That's not what I see though. The artistry of his swing trumps all else. Like Poetry on grass.

At about 16 yrs of age, I caddied in a pro-am for the amateur; George Knudson and Johnny Pott were the pros in the group. I wish I wasn't so deferentially respectful and struck up a conversation with those guys. Still, it was a great experience, and the am tipped me $20.00...big bucks in those days. I can't remember Knudson talking at all during the round, but he was a fast player.

He was something special. I've seen him many times back in the good old days The repeat shots of his swing from behind in the last several seconds of the video puzzle me however. Must be a bad camera angle because it looks like a doublecross. Come to think of it that's my swing problem, a bad camera angle.

He is playing a fade. He set up closed in relation to the target for a straight shot. His right leg was a hair shorter than his left.

I was just speaking of the ball flight, but as I mentioned it was more than likely the camera angle.

nothing wrong with what he is doing there....the hands come over a bit because he went inside on the backswing...BUT the clubhead and shaft are still laying down behind him. Snead and Jones did a similar move but still hit from the inside

in this video he says he always tried to two-putt, never tried to one-putt. that's a very odd mindset, no wonder he was so bad at it.

His weak left hand grip and relatively flat, rotary swing plane reminds me of Hogan and Jose Maria Olazabol.

His move at the top and through the ball reminds me of Lee Westwood a little bit.

It looks like Westwood 'drops' his head a little on the downswing. I don't think Knudsen dropped his head.

No doubt, he was one of the best ball strikers and as bad a putter as there was too. I played a practice round with him in Phoenix in 1978 and he was experimenting hitting his ball and left toe simultaneously...almost as if he was trying to create some kind of resistence at impact that would instinctively cause him to hold the putter as square as possible as it impacted the ball. If memory serves, he opened with a 67 and led the tournament. I always wondered if he used that method that day.

The talk of him being a bad putter is just to lead the fools astray.

Golf has a man now who can really maneuver the ball, fellow by the name of Bubba.

Too bad lung cancer took him at a young age. Ironic that he says in this video "smoking, it's just a lousy habit and I wish I didn't have it"

The attitude of “never trying to 1 putt” is why he was a bad putter unfortunately. Notice what he tried to do (hit every fairway and green) “happened” to coincide with what he was great at.
