The consistency of Moe Norman's golf swing has fascinated PGA Tour players and amateurs since the 1950s, despite Moe's short-lived stint on the American circuit. @ToddGravesGolf, Golf Instructor and Co-founder of the Graves Golf Single Plane Academy, looks back at the Legacy of the World's Greatest Ball-Striker on Moe's Birthday, July 10. Watch the purity of Moe Norman's Single Plane Golf Swing on the golf course and driving range as Todd tells stories from his 10-year friendship with Moe.
PGA Tour Legends have called Moe Norman the World's Greatest Ball-Striker, and Moe Norman's Single Plane golf swing-similar to that of Bryson DeChambeau's swing- has inspired golfers worldwide to play with a simple, consistent, back-friendly swing and discover what he called the "Feeling of Greatness."

It's apparent that you truly cared for Moe, what a great tribute.
Simply beautiful Todd. God bless you for sharing a bit of Moe’s heart with those who value Moe as a dear human being.
Very nice.
Moe has officially become my favorite golfer. I am binging all the moe videos I can get. Thanks for sharing all of these stories.
I can never get enough of Moe Norman stories. Thank you for sharing.
There's love and then there's respect. Todd, you had both. Thanks for carrying Moe's legacy with you!
Thank you Todd Graves. You are honouring the name not trying to make a buck off of it. Doing it for the love of the game and for someone who was near and dear to you. It’s really beautiful to hear these stories.
That was an emotional and seemingly very personal video for you to screen. Your love of Moe shined throughout and is something you should be incredibly proud about. Thanks for sharing.
I totally agree. Ive watched alot of Todd’s videos on Moe. It was obvious this meant alot to Todd. Todd has given us enough insight to where we can ID Moe’s personality. Moe was one of those “old timers” that did it right - no snowflakes.
Todd, This is a poignant tribute to Moe on what would have been his 91st birthday. Both you, Tim and your great staff of instructors are doing an outstanding job making golf fun again for so many golfers. Moe would be proud of what you have accomplished and the impact the Academy is having worldwide.
Well said!!!
I just can’t say enough positive things or give enough compliments to you on you channel Todd. Your content is excellent! The stories about Moe and your friendship, his mentorship, single plane content is just excellent! Well done!
Has there even been a movie made about Moe? If not, I feel like that'd be a great one.
Anytime someone challenges the status quo like Moe did, they are many times made out to be insane or not taken seriously.
Makes you wonder, "What could have been?" but by all means everyone who knew him personally said he was unique in that aspect unlike a Tiger Woods type mentality
@@slingitandflingitdiscgolf8340no, no movie or documentary. He thinks that Moe's swing is his and his only to teach.
This is incredibly emotional and an amazing tribute. What a beautiful person he must have been... thanks todd
This was a beautiful tribute to Moe Norman. Thank you for showing him the respect he deserved.
@@anthonynastasijr I agree highly!
This is beautiful! Rarely do I watch a TH-cam vid from beginning to the end and this interview shed so much insight to Moe that I wanted to learn more about him. Thank you for sharing.
Todd, this is simply a wonderful piece. You were a great friend to Moe and I'm sure he is so proud of you and your success. What a tribute.
Todd... I was quarantined for 14 days and all I did was watch all of your videos... I must say they made such an impact on me that as soon as I could go out I had to try the single plane golf swing. And that is exactly what I did. Since the past 2 days I have been practising this swing and though it’s not an easy shift but I can see the advantages already. I can’t thank you enough for all your instructional videos on TH-cam. I will continue to work on the single plane golf swing and I know I can improve my golf and consistency... currently I am a 15 handicap golfer. And for some time I have been trying to improve but could not. Thank you once again.
It must have felt like a privilege to have known this incredible unique man whose swing was once described as something seen on a municipal golf course but Fred Couples once stopped practice he was doing with college students and told them to "come see " the greatest ever ball striker
I never had a lesson in my life, i started getting serious into golf recently, my friends are always impressed with my drives how straight they are and how short my backswing is. I found this site and discovered moe norman. Honestly, i've watched every bit of video I can of this man and I can say i'm moved to tears on how you and others have worked to preserve the works of this beautiful man and his near perfect swing. while my swing is nowhere near as good as his, I so have similar mechanical traits. It just makes sense to me. keep up the good work!
This? This is amazing. The emotion, the story and the love is here is real.
This is PRICELESS!!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, films and great stories of Moe. Happy Birthday, Moe!
I started with Natural Golf in Elgin, Illinois when it was first in a little shop in Bartlett and began to grow. This piece is a great tribute to Moe and I can tell how heartfelt it is as you tell the story of your friendship and getting to know him. I got to see Moe at a clinic once and was amazed at his consistency and now, almost 20 years later, I am still playing with a set of original Natural Golf Clubs, although I will be upgrading soon. I'm honored to have seen this from it's infancy to now seeing the GGA and being a part of it, as well. Thanks for including the "old days" with the new Todd....this was a great piece. You are so lucky to have had that great relationship with him.
Todd, your Moe stories remind me of the novel Golf in the Kingdom. But incredibly, Moe was not fictional. Here was a real life golf mystic. You've done a fantastic job of preserving his legacy and spreading the word about the single-plane method.
Todd...you have really done a service to the golfing community! You will have a great legacy as well. You are making the incomprehensible golf swing comprehensible.
What a wonderful film and memory to have of this great man. Misunderstood by most, bullied by some, taken under your wing, which was a wonderful thing to witness. What a character! 😊
Thank you Todd. I have played golf (very badly, badly, less badly) since i was 15. I am now 61. I am trying to change to the SPS method and while I may have started late, I don't think its too late. It is hard to unlearn bad habits but forget the swing. Thank you for the kindness and humanity you showed towards Moe. Of all your video's this is the one I keep coming back too. From an Aussie Moe and Todd fan!!
I'm 62. Ditto from Arizona!
Appreciate so much Todd with this incredible tribute for Moe! I learned a lot just watching him do his seemingly idiosyncratic but perfect scientific (repeatable) golf swing! I remember Moe's personal principle I learned from him, as I went over reviewing his file of golf videos, (due to my quest for a perfect golf swing) where he mentioned once to his golf fans in reply to their queries, asking him of his secret, he retorted back to them "I will show you, but not tell you." Consequently, from that time onward, he gave me an idea that to be able to discover his secret, I would just watch him do his swing ignoring all his discussion (as he would not tell in anyway because it was his SECRET) and keenly observe his "key secret move" that made him such a greatest ball striker of all times, until I discovered it that the late Moe Norman could never claim he was the only one knows his secret, because I GOT HIS SECRET! :)
NOW I CAN SAY I HAVE THIS FEELING OF GREATNESS as did claimed by late Moe Norman! THAT NOW I AM PROMOTING GOLF BY TEACHING THESE SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES OF A SO CALLED SINGLE PLANE SWING, BASICALLY ADOPTED ALSO BY KNOWN SINGLE PLANE (IN ITS !VARIANT FORMS) SWINGERS THE LIKES OF BEN HOGAN, LEE TREVINO, GARY PLAYER, JACK NICKLAUS, ARNOLD PALMER, AND OTHER GOLF GREATS OF OLD!
Thanks for sharing Todd, Mo was truly a special person and i know you miss him very much. I have started using the one plane swing with great success. Thanks for all your helpful videos sir!
Thank You Todd...i was born on September 15th...im crying...but good tears...Play Golf From The Heart...so true, so true...
This was fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing the stories about Moe. What a wonderful ambassador for the great game of golf.
What a great story. You were so lucky to know and be his friend.
Wow thx for sharing that last meeting with Moe. I'm glad he had supportive friends like yourself later in life who cared about him. Watching his videos never gets old. It's a shame the powers-that-be of the golf world back in his prime, TOP PLAYERS included, shut him out. The bullies of that time robbed us of the many great things Moe would have accomplished had he been supported then instead of bullied.
Oh man, thanks so much for this piece. I feel like a better person knowing this story.
My golf coach knew Moe very well. The way you described his speech is exactly how he said Moe spoke. My coach asked Moe “when was the last time you hit a bad shot?” Why would I want to remember that? Heard lots of great stories about him. He was running a clinic near me one day. I remembered the day after. Kicking myself for missing it. Wonderful video on him.
This was beautiful brother. You were blessed to be trained and in some sense discipled by a savant. Continue the legacy
Beautiful seeing these kind of relationships in life
Thanks for this, Todd. Moe was a great man! I learned about him quite a few years ago and am just getting back into golf so will be using his techniques as best I can. Thank you so much for carrying the torch.
Thank you Todd. I wish i could have met Moe. I love that quote "play golf from the heart".
I just cried 😢❤️⛳️
When I moved from B.C. to Ontario, I was excited to see Glen Abbey, Woodbine,and other things we just heard about out West. This was in early 80,s. As a golfer, Moe Norman,s name came up a few times, but like other iconic things,it was just story to me. First time I was Glen Abbey or Woodbine it was overwhelming. I lived in Oshawa then and one day went Country Lanes golf course in Whitby,for a round. I was looking at a tournament sheet for the following weekend. I saw Moe Norman signed up. I asked the club owner who thought was good enough to pretend to be Moe. He pointed to the little guy sitting on a bench with a driver in his hand. More thrilling than Glen Abbey or Woodbine,was watching him hit balls.
What a fantastic insight to Moe Norman, what a great guy. I have struggled to grasp the single plane swing, but I'm finally getting there and the sound of hitting the ball is so sweet I can well understand why Moe hit so many balls, it's additive
What a beautiful human he seemed to be. You were so fortunate to have had I'm in your life!!!
Hi Todd. I can totally relate to how One feels when a close friend passes, especially a friend with whom you have built a personal and working relationship and more so, when you thoroughly enjoy hanging out together. Moe, unfortunately passed too soon. Prematurely in the sense that things appeared to be (finally) trending positively upwards, with the Moe Norman brand becoming increasingly widespread through relationships with you and your related enterprises. We look forward to watching your forthcoming documentary about Moes’ life.
This was priceless Todd!!
Thank you for sharing this with everyone!! It leaves me with a sadness that I had never seen him play live, but fills me with happiness that you were able to and are bringing his legacy to everyone! Thank you for all you do!
Hey Todd thank you so much for sharing this with all of us.
Loved this. Moe stories are always interesting and entertaining. I’d love to see more unique swings on the pro level. Happy Birthday MOE! Thanks for sharing. 😀
Priceless story's! Thanks for sharing.
Todd, this is a great piece... I found more about 4 tears ago on TH-cam and was always intrigued by him, but found him very lovable.. you are a very lucky man.. cheers!
Thank you for sharing this story... I just learned of Moe Norman for the first time recently and I am binging everything I can watch and read about him. What a fascinating man.
That’s great! Yes he was. Here’s the book on Moe members.singleplaneacademy.com/the-feeling-of-greatness-book-the-moe-norman-story/
It was an awesome adventure to be so close to Moe for a decade! Very interesting to see him eating left-handed and also reading Paul Bertholy's book. Bertholy is reputed to have used the phrase," lead, tug, turn." Just three words, compared to four words from Moe, "sit, slide, buckle, bump. I've seen a video, within the past 10 years, where Moe said he learned his swing from Paul Bertholy, Manuel de la Torre, and his father, Angel. Regardless of outside influencers, if you don't put in the effort and master the positions, you won't be as satisfied with the results as much as Moe was. At 74, I continue to try and learn Moe's swing intricacies; as conventional golf is very profitable, mostly for instructors, and chasing distance is a mirage that is only compounded by the multitude of injuries inflicted on those who go down that path. What sport is more unequal than golf? What other sport constantly alters the rules, to benefit the bureaucracy? Do other sports constantly change the size of the baseball/cricket field, football pitch/swimming pools or tennis/basketball courts for individual tournaments or MAJOR world events? Of course not!!! I'm just musing out loud...
Just heard about this incredible man about 3 weeks ago. You are so lucky to have known him........a legend.
I honestly thought this was just another guy trying to peddle another golf swing, and the truth is. Todd really believes in this action and the man who created it. Thanks for this amazing video.
I wish Moe could have lived long enough to see how much respect and love he had today.
Sure his latter years he was starting to get the respect he deserved but I don't think he could ever dream how much of legend he became.
Best video I have seen on Mr Norman. Thank you.
Great video Todd......All about doing it "my way". We need more of that same attitude these days. Showing your "genuiness" is more important than ever. Golf aside ....this is the greatest lesson Moe has taught you and all of us. It is the essence of "life"!!!
Excellent piece. Thanks for sharing this.
Love this. Thank for sharing.
Wonderful video, especially for anyone who has heard of Moe Norman. Very well presented! Thank you.
Mo would have 100% won a major if he would have played on the tour, what an absolute legend
Multiple majors
Learned so much about Moe working on Royal Oak Golf Course Project in Titusville Fl. Wish I could have met him.
Love the Song Writer analogy!!!!
Great piece! Really enjoyed watching it. I also enjoy all your other videos.
loved watching Moe swing that club
This is great stuff, Todd.
Love the videos. Keep 'em coming!
Thx for this touching story
Good stuff as always. I was struggling with missing putts then remembered Moe's quote of "Everything is a 3 footer." and "I thought putting and the rest of game were different because one is played on the ground and the other in the air." I put the Single Plane full swing grip on my putter and rolled the next 3 putts perfectly straight. I switched back to my conventional grip, missed the next one to the right, switched back to Single Plane grip, and went back to rolling putts perfectly straight.
What a heart warming, heart felt video! This was so enjoyable to watch, and to get a better understanding of your relationship with Moe.Your efforts to teach the Single Plane Swing is certainly a lifetime achievement to be very proud of! P.S. Do you sell the visors(hats) like you are wearing in the video?
What a tribute. thank you for sharing
A genuine friend
Thanks for all you do to keep Moe’s legacy and his swing alive!!!
What a wonderful story and thank you. I’m Canadian and not far from Kitchener. I will admit I had never heard of Moe. Thanks so much again!!
I'm completely fascinated by this concept, so much so that I went to the range and tried it, I probably didn't do all aspects of how Moe or yourself does it, but just making my swing a single plane I was astounded the results, I'm a healthy 6 handicap but i'm going to employ all of the techniques, you've become my favorite channel, RIP Mr. Norman...
Love these vids. Thanks for bringing awareness of Moe to us.
HE would be proud of you seeing what you have accomplished!
I love these stories. It is rare in life where a person is deemed "larger than life" really does live up to the legend. Todd, I'm sure you've heard the old trope about When The Student Is Ready The Master Will Appear? This really does seem to fit with you and Moe, but I'd add mentor & friend, too. Good stuff & Golf from the heart for sure. Thanks.
Happy Birthday Moe! Love the stories
Great video Todd. It's apparent you have real admiration and love for Moe. Thanks for sharing!
Can't wait for the movie, it's in production now
The story about the putt is absolutely insane. Golf savant, RIP Moe.
Remarkable story.
Really enjoyed this, thank you
What a sweet story...thank you.
This is so awesome, just listening to you tell your stories of your friendship with Moe and how your friendship grew over many years brought the humanity of you and your mentor very close to me , it strengthened my commitment to learn even stronger! Thanks for this and all you , Tim and the whole crew of Graves Golf are giving to all of us . I appreciate YOU !
Thank you for this video. I hope I get to see that movie someday. I would have loved to meet Moe. You are lucky to have known this great personality.
you create some great content with Moe and your experiences with him, props!
Love this I use a one plane swing and it has turned me into a good golfing
That was great.
Happy Birthday Moe👍
I was enough lucky to watch him played in quebec in the 60's..in many tournement..he was an idol for me..after i assist to one of his clinic..on a putting green,he dropped 15 balls on the green and from about 15 feet guess how much he holed out...amazing...tll me is it possible that he was shallowing the club in the beginning of his downswing? like Ben Hogan
Interesting that Todd said his earliest first hand memory of Moe was the sound of his impact. I would concur.... the first time I saw Moe was on a windy day in 1990 when Moe was 61 and I still marvel at the sound of his first hit 7 iron after hitting half wedge shots....it was simply captivating
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about your final time with mo awesome stuff
In today's age of perfection: swing analysis, angle, wrists cocking, head tilting... Moe kept it simple. It's a shame that I've golfed for over 30+ years and am just now hearing about Moe Norman, a true golf genius with a true golf swing. Too many times we want to me like Tiger or some other PGA pro when we actually just need to be like Moe. My golf game has always been chasing the latest and greatest but I now know what I need to do - Golf from the heart and get over to your academy :)
Moe...❤️❤️❤️
Such a great video, Todd. So touching
Thank you, Todd. God Bless you for sharing this man's life.
Great story, Todd. He was an amazing guy. I didn’t see him much as an adult, but my times w him as a kid are cherished memories. I commend your efforts to stay connected with him.
Awesome video. Love to hear you tell Moe stories. I was wondering if he shared with you his secret he learned in putting "just like a 3 footer"? I am also happy for you being able to really enjoy playing golf because of Moe. When you are playing well, golf is so much fun.
Fabulous video!
What an absolute credit you are to Moe, Todd. The story was so wonderful to listen to and told from the heart and your experience. I was a pleasure to listen to. Thank you
Great video Moe has always been my favorite golfer.
"Moe wrote an incredible song." Says it all right there. Thanks for sharing those special moments. Very touching and inspiring.
That song would be, I did it my way
I'll take strange & real over fake, arrogant, mean or liar any day. Long live the memory of Moe Norman great tribute!!
Really enjoyed this video. The more I learn about Moe, the more I realise the legend of the man. Todd you were so fortunate to have that special relationship with Moe, he most surely would have appreciated it, considering that he was ostracised for most of his life.
What an amazing man he was and what a good friend you were to him
