Ralph has a GREAT interview with a fellow named Norm Moote, who was a student of Knudson’s.

Thanks Ralph!! It was excellent. Interesting what he says about Knudson’s clubs at about 12:00…HEAVY, stiff. Also says Moe and Hogan were the same regarding this.

A few other things that struck me( and they match what I see here at ABS):
He wasn’t about distance, he was about accuracy, but he was out there when need be.
Balance is number one. Then target orientation(not ball orientation, George called the ball the great intimidator, swing through it not at it).
Concentration is focus on the present, anxiety is the thinking about the past and future.
The only guy that came close to his teaching was Jimmy Ballard.
When giving a lesson, look from the knees down. Where is the weight going and ending?
Drill…Swing at a tee with your eyes closed. Knudson broke 70 with his eyes closed on a fine course.
