documentary in the works.

I could watch and listen to Moe every single day. He’s so enthusiastic, interesting and knowledgeable, what a legend! It seems that he was a really quick player.

Great footage of Moe out of the sand. Mr Automatic. RIP you gentle soul.

The humming!

I am such a sucker for old video's and more so in watching the greatest striker of the golf ball who ever lived and should have been shown to the world earlier than now after his passing, such a shame in what we all missed!

pure flow. Incredible.

Reading so many stories about Moe in his younger life when introducing himself to the game of golf, then having to hide his golf clubs from his Dad must have put a huge strain on Moe back then, then when he was winning tournaments, there were no family members there to watch him must have made a huge effect to Moe's thinking! Moe has been kept away from the golfing world till Todd brought Moe's swing to the golfing world! Even to this day - if any of you golfers mention Moe Norman to your golf mates - most of them will say - you mean greg Norman! There you have it! The dedication this man showed in perfecting the golf swing should have been shown world wide long before he passed away!, yet it took a young guy that took an interest in Moe's swing as he noticed how straight Moe was hitting the golf ball every time in which he could not do! So without Todd's video's and footage of Moe - we golfers would have never have known the legion of the great great Moe Norman! Reading the comments from other golfers who I assume have mastered Moe's swing can't express their love for the guy who unfortunately did not meet as he was never shown to us till he sadly passed away! I love watching little Moe in the video's Todd pops to us golfers! I am sure I can speak for all the golfers who have started to use Moe's swing in thanking Todd for bringing Moe's name and his golf swing to the front! I do hope Moe can look down and see what Todd has created!! I feel for you Todd as you were with Moe all that time till he passed away, you must miss him so!

Knew Moe through an acquaintance. Golf Town circa 1996-1997, looking down at putters on the artificial putting green and out of the corner of my eye, I see a pair of Maroon and Lime Green Alligator Skin shoes. Without looking up I say "Hey Moe". One of many Moe stories.

This is excellent video of Moe actually out on a course instead of just range hitting... thank you Todd

I like watching pros hit balls on the range, but only for a bit. But I could watch Norman hit balls all day and never get tired of it.

"Don't make the shot tougher then it is" Moe Norman

Finally !! I am positive you has parts of this posted years ago because I remember watching it but then when I really got into the single plane I could never find the video again . Thanks for showing this again . I actually dropped the 60 . I find I can get every thing I want from a 56 . My 5w is too good of a club to drop . Moe singing was awesome !!

Never saw this footage of moe putting Wow thanks for sharing Todd!!

I have been studying Moe and Todd's swing and I have mixed results in the holes I play, then I watch Moe (the master) and notice that he swings back the club below his shoulder in which I never seen Todd do, then I watch Bryston and he doe's not leave much of a gap between his drivers face and the ball he intends too hit like what Moe or Todd show us, as they leave at least 5 inches between club face and ball, so really it is up to the individual to find his/her key to this single plain golf swing that Todd has got the golfing world taken note! I am loving the swing that Todd has shown us, but with mixed results, But like all of you golfers out there - practice what set up suits you as we are all different as God made us! I can't swing like Bryston as I am a pensioner, so I will revert back to watching Moe! BUT a big thank you to Todd for his guidance and his hard work commitment in him showing us golfers out here - Moe's swing! I am sure Moe shall be watching you Todd with a BIG smile on his face! You do him proud and am sure you feel his presence each day! Thanks Todd!

This is the best quality Moe Norman video that I’ve seen. And it’s the only one I’ve seen that shows the result of his hitting the ball. Very nice!

Love watching his swing. It would be marvelous to be able to remaster some of this footage with ball tracers so people could see just how accurate and long he was, on full shots

Amazing thing how he makes a brutally tough game look so easy!

Just getting to know the fantastic Moe Norman story fairly recently. Fascinating man. And obviously loved hitting golf balls, playing golf from the heart as his ghost told him. I wonder did a couple of more conventional golf instructional aspects creep in in later life? He seems to have an open stance for his bunker shots (got to get me a sandy andy!) - he was probably rarely in bunkers in tournament play anyway, given his straightness and ability to work height to his advantage - and I wonder if I can detect an overlapping pinkie in later life also?

Awesome segment, to watch this man’s greatest is an honor !

wow I don't think i've ever saw footage of Moe putting!! This is awesome!

There will eventually be another Tiger but there will NEVER again be another Moe Norman. I think God made someone who truly mastered the game a one time deal.

Great vid! Shot 33 confirmed course records! Crazy!

thanks for sharing, amazing videos!!!

Moe played Carlisle Golf Club back in the 90s' Everyone new to leave him be... Was fun to watch from a DISTANCE.

Watching so many video's of Moe as he describes that the right hand is just on for the ride, yet when he is pitching he talks of the right hand following through to his intended target! This is where I get confused as I have always been a left handed dominant golfer and used my left hand on every shot! But I have changed my swing as Moe and Todd has shown us through so many videos and am more consistent , so I will give my short game this right hand treatment - wish me luck!

Todd, this is perhaps my favorite video you've presented about Moe's short game. The putting was crazy good. TY

at 10 min, when Moe is hitting out of the bunker, I've had the pleasure of hitting out of the same bunker! I recognized the clubhouse.....that's Carlisle Golf Course in Carlisle, Ontario. In Moe's day, 18 holes and now a 27.

Brilliant vidio of Moe wat a fascinating person and skillful golfer he was his book the feeling of greatness is a compelling read thanks tod showing these vidios

Great video "little Moe" I'm a huge fan of Moe Norman thank u sir!

Enjoyed this.showed from different angles the ball travelling into the hole.

Thanks a lot, Todd.

In this video, you feel Moe is not given up till he puts a ball into the cup!

Moe sounds like he could be Bubbles Grandpa. 😊

A lovely movie

Moe was quite a character. But he made the golf swing look much easier than it is. It amazes me that regardless of what type of shot he wants to hit, he does it with consistent rhythm. Very smooth, nothing forced. I watch his videos over and over again and am amazed everytime.

Hi Todd. Love the videos about Moe, please keep them coming. Such a unique guy who never got his due in my mind. Totally underrated as a tournament pro because he competed almost exclusively in Canada. One wonders how many tournaments he might have won had he been able to overcome his shyness. In this video you said that Moe gave you one of his Sandy Andy sand wedges. Can you recall what company manufactured the original that Moe gave you? Thanks.

It was great to see Moe draining putts! What was more interested was watching him chip. I didn't realize he chipped conventional style, without his arms stretched out. I didn't realize natural golf made a putter.

Watch this ALL DAY LONG🏌🏼‍♂️🏌🏼‍♂️🏌🏼‍♂️

Moe would have been the person I gravitated to if I was new at the course and did not know anyone. I am like Moe in a way, but with bowling. I never won any tournaments because I did not compete. I was self-taught and was a scratch player 2 years into picking up the game at 20 years old. I have multiple 300 games in and out of league play in my first 4 years of picking up the game. Averages were 211 and shot high 600s low 700 series 5 days a week in leagues across 3 bowling centers. Since I could not afford to bowl that much I Subbed in leagues 5 days a week and always got a spot that is free for the sub! I've bowled thousands of games to develop my swing or style as it is known. On the weekends you guessed it I was a bowling machine since I worked at the bowling center I got 3 free games per day, then I would hit the "rock and Bowl" from midnight to 2 am all you can bowl for $15 per pair of lanes. I would go by myself and run the shot absolutely dry. I have worn out bowling equipment since I was always buying used balls from the pro shop and getting them plugged and redrilled due to not being able to afford new equipment. I went on to win a decent start in life gambling and Pot bowling. I have bowled the best in my region and Michigan was a huge bowling state back in my heyday. Anyway, long story short I am getting into golf now Moe has captured my imagination because I feel like he and I have something in common, and Like him, my bowling style was all natural no stress no pain I made it how my body worked. I could bowl game after game set after set other people's backs or arms would start to give but not mine I let gravity do all the work. I can step into a center today and walk out with no pain my ball speed may be slower but I still got it. I want to do the same with golf make my swing all-natural for me, and Moe is showing me the way. Thank you Moe

Shake hands with the flag stick,awesome!

Hi Todd, love this video. Did Moe ever mention Count Yogi? I read in Moe’s younger days he was seen at a Count Yogi clinic.

I wish. Had been Moes best friend and golfing buddy.

I'm 65 and 3.5 index. I'm a good ball striker and I practice a lot. This past year I've copied about 3 elements of Moe's swing. I can tell you in my seven rounds so far in 2021 I've hit more great shots than ever, and my misses aren't as bad. Of course I still know how to find the impact position but I'm doing it much more effectively. But one of the keys about Moe that most people miss is that he NEVER took a shot with doubt in his mind. Every bad shot I took this year were when I had an element of doubt (not sure if I had the right club, worrying about hitting it into a bunker, not lined up properly etc.). That was part of his genius. And hitting millions of balls. I'm at the range every day still learning.

That's awesome! Love to hear those success stories. With regard to pre-shot routine, Todd Graves always talks about the "Red Zone" and "Green Zone." The Red Zone is reserved for assessing the shot, and the Green Zone is for executing the shot without hesitation. If that doubt creeps up in the Green Zone, you back out and go back to the Red Zone until you feel comfortable. When you're confident with your assessment, you say "Got it," and enter the go zone. As far as alignment, try to find an intermediate target on the ground a few feet ahead of you that you can easily align to your club face. Here's a video with Todd's tip for swing thoughts and a "pre-shot trigger" to help you focus your attention on executing the shot kzread.info/dash/bejne/gHmBxtiTntSvl5c.html

That's really interesting what Moe was saying about the way putters were made and that it would have made a difference to the way he would have played today!..I've always wondered, was there such a thing as club fitting back in Moes day?..I wonder that because of his unique one plane swing.. Especially with the lie angle needed to achieve the correct contact with ball and ground?! Thanks again Todd with your amazing insight to The great Moe Norman.

Is the Sandy Andy a legal club? Such a great video!

I do the single plane swing and were my irons are a used set from a buddy that is taller than me I actually have cut down my driver and my wedges are standard. I only started golf last summer and went to single plane due to serious physical issues so as to not have stress on my body. I can hit 200 balls and shoot 18. With the conventional swing I was hitting +8 I just did a round 2 days ago and made par. If you really want to look at a dominating single planer Bryson DeChambeau is the man on tour to look to. All his irons are one length (7 iron) and if memory serves me correctly his driver and woods are a bit shorter than average now as well. The whole distance lost and pushing right myth of shortening drivers and woods is just that a huge myth.

I’ve watched this video twice now and still can’t tell so I have to ask, for pitches anywhere that isn’t a full swing, which method should we use. I can’t tell if moe is just shortening his full swing or if he’s using the short game method you guys teach of opening the body. Could you please provide some Insight on this?
