    This VHS tape raised me as a kid hahaha.
    I watched these for entertainment as a kid, because my dad raised me playing golf and he owned these tapes.
    I still have them. But haven't had a VHS player for years. This is some genuine childhood nostalgia.

      I put these Greg Norman tapes (& Seve, & Lee) on for my newborn daughter in 1999 while she lay in the bouncer, for hours. Newborn brainwashing with golf. High hopes, but it didn't work. Worth a shot though.

    I bought these video's and absolutely love how natural and friendly he is, it REALLY made for enjoyable learning, to say the least, LOVE it, he makes you feel so comfortable, like your his friend, and he REALLY cares, and like someone mentioned, he even used the baby for super-efficient instruction, Lol!!!!!!!

    Amazingly simple and effective way of teaching.... no over complications... natural.... Knew he was a great player but my respects gone up a few notches watching this video piece.... golf should be played naturally... my faults come form being TOO technical so i am taking lots of great things away from this video... and lovely touch bringing in his young boy :-)....

    Not a big fan of Norman but in his defense to those who call him a "choker" , Greg has had his heart ripped out by last second heroics from opponents more than any golfer in history.
    Larry Mize chipping in at the 1987 Masters to win on the first playoff hole.
    Bob Tway at the 1986 PGA championship, holing out from the bunker on the final hole to win.
    Robert Gomez holing his second shot from the fairway on the last hole at the 1990 Nestle Invitational, giving him a one stroke win .
    David Frost holed out a 50 foot bunker shot on the last hole of the 1990 USF&G Classic to win by 1 .
    Greg was the number 1 player on the planet for a total of 6+ years, second only to Tiger Woods since the World Golf Rankings started in 1986.
    Greg has won world wide 92 times including 2 majors.
    He finished runner up in 8 majors including the 1986 Masters where we all know what Jack did.
    Yes he blew a 6 stroke lead at the '96 Masters but one bad day does not a "choker " make and if you want to rate players by how many times they "choked" and finished 2nd in a major then Nicklaus is the biggest "choker " ever with 19 2nd place finishes.

  • @ChrisJones-vs1uy
    @ChrisJones-vs1uy 8 лет назад +4

    +Matt Parr Thank you so much for uploading this video. I am addicted to golf tip videos and this has by far helped my game the most. 19:12 was the game changer for me. Always have hit great shots, just struggled with consistent striking. On my first trip to the range after this I hit 140 balls and only 5 or so being duffers (a huge improvement for me). If any of you are struggling with consistent striking on irons but are pretty solid with driver, give this a shot. Having it forward felt natural to me. I was stupid before when I saw Jack Nicolas recommend the same thing... I discredited it as outdated since all the new videos seem to advise the opposite. Silly me...
    Doubt it works for everyones swing, but try it out for fun.

  • @MrYoshicat
    @MrYoshicat 10 лет назад +3

    I remember an earlier instruction video Norman made ( in his early 20's ) before he cracked the US tour and when he was at his physical strongest . In this video he's hitting a blade 1 iron off the deck on a tee - he hits 8 in row and carries the ball 280 meters with a really high trajectory - every ball landed within a makeable putts distance at a flag he had placed in the middle off the fairway !

    • @TheNYgolfer
      @TheNYgolfer 8 лет назад

      It's a video . Do you believe everything you see on a video? His driving average on tour was 250 meters so do you really think he hit a 1 iron 30 meters further further?

    • @elvicare35

      Every great golfer has choked - it just a matter of how many times they did it - technically every American pro that has lost to Tiger Woods / Golden Bear/Faldo /Watson /Ballersteous/Phil /Rory ( and all the other major winners) has choked - therefore your nation has the biggest amount of chokers in history due to your unfair/ biased amount of participating players - your nation has the greatest choker of all - the one who choked on too much pussy !
