Moe gave me a lesson in Daytona Beach in 1970. No half hour for $50.00. Just grabbed my hand and squeezed till it hurt. "Hold on like that at the top." Then he walked away. Probably look 5 seconds and then he walked away. Best lesson I ever had but my hand hurt for 2 weeks.

Moe was and probably always will be the best ball striker ever. Not to mention the best aim with his shots. His effortless attitude helped me to realize the harder you try to hit the ball, the harder it is to hit the ball. Swing as if you’re making a chip shot and you’ll likely hit it better and just as long as when you give it your all. Golf isn’t easy but it’s easier when you take it easy. Be mo’ like Moe.

Teacher said now you see and feel the difference I said yeah but that's not what amazed me was not how the club flew outta my hands it was the fact I blasted the ball with no effort and it went straight in the fairway and the power still took the club from me 😂 thank you moe

Actually, he said the best striker of the ball that’s ever lived. But he’s just repeating what Nicolas Faldo, Garry player and many other said. He never made that up himself. That’s what they said about him. I believe he’s so full of himself because Golf is the only opportunity he has to feel the feeling of greatness. Clearly, in every day life he’s an oddball living in his car and not fitting in. It’s not unusual for people to find the one thing that they are better than anyone else in the world and experience that feeling of greatness. Whatever you wanna call it it’s valid and he’s earned it and that’s all that matters.

Moe didn't miss a fairway for 6 years....he once used the same tee for 4 years. Moe played a lot with George Knudsen (incredible iron player, 8 PGA wins) and they'd bet on EVERYTHING. $$. One bet was $100. for every pin hit. In one round, Moe hit 6 pins. For fun, in tournaments, Moe would occasionally tee off with a wedge and hit into the green with his driver, for par or birdie. Lee Trevino said it best....'somebody should have taken Moe under his wing, he would have cleaned up on the tour' He wasn't a country club boy, no one helped him, they even chastised him. Golf lost something very special. He returned home. 41 course records, 3@59, 4@61. Hole-in-ones became boring, he lost count.
