    Flair, talent, personality.. Greg Norman is a badass! 331 weeks at #1, aggressive, smart and handled great loss like a boss. Majors will always determine the ‘greats’ in golf but always know that GN was greater than his majors record.

      I learned the 50% swing off of a 15-year-old kid who joined me playing walking 18 holes. this kid was a member of his high school golf team and he walked with me and I got to tell you I learned a style of swing from the kid that has served me well ever since I did not change my swing. I just changed the pace of my swing. This kid would hit his irons and Driver super far with a smooth, precise swing

    • @simonchadwick3607

      He was unlucky. Lost three majors (I think) to lucky shots. Larry Mize chip in at Masters is the one I remember the most. You can’t legislate against someone else being lucky. He is remembered for his collapse at 96 Masters and whilst he shouldn’t have lost that lead there were many times he should have and had the golfing gods crush him. Lee Trevino once said that God made sure no single golfer had everything a great golfer needs to win tournaments and that he gave Norman no luck.

      henry mcvey Plenty of great players made errors and still won because they didn’t have those incidents where an opponent holed out some amazing shot. Golf is just like that, sometimes it just doesn’t go your way. Nobody would suggest Greg was as good as Tiger but 331 consecutive weeks ranked number one is truly great. He was also a great supporter of Australian golf. Came home and played local tournaments over the Australian summer. Have never seen anyone in any sport show so much class when things didn’t go his way. This video is also a really useful bit of coaching

    Regardless of his major record, Norman did the sport a huge service with his attacking flair, his incredible ball striking, the drama he added to the occasion and the class he always exuded in defeat. He perhaps respected his opponents too much, if you could call that a flaw. I'm so disappointed this brilliant golfer doesn't find the champions tour interesting.

    A lot of talent , 331 weeks at No1 thats 6 years and during that period he was playing against Tiger , Faldo etc , he was an amazing player. His loses made him even more popular in many peoples eyes from the point of view of how honorably he managed himself. Did he choke ,probably and he will say it , but being the man he is, that made history itself , its happened its sport its the way it is .It never made him a worse player just a better person for it. One thing for sure it never hurt his back pocket or bank balance.

    @gazismad631 4 года назад +3

    My favourite player in the 80’s and 90’s but there is no doubt he lost his belief on Sunday’s in the majors
    The loss at The Masters when he collapsed against Faldo was a shocker . Faldo was never going to charge and shoot a 66 but Norman totally backed off and imploded
    It hurt me as much as Norman. I don’t think he ever recovered from that

    • @bomman33
      @bomman33 4 года назад

      Phenomenal player, I would agree. However in his collapsing loss to Faldo in 1996, Faldo did shoot low in the last round, he shot 67. So to win by one stroke Norman would have had to shoot even par and as you said he just had an awful day, I think he shot a 78. He probably didn't ever recover from that but also he was 41 by then and not many golfers at all win majors in their 40s, it happens but not often, so he was probably on the decline anyway.

    • @simonchadwick3607
      @simonchadwick3607 4 года назад +1

      There were several times he had majors stolen from him. Larry Mize chip in from 60 yards or so, a couple more. By the 1996 Masters I think he knew he wouldn’t have many more chances and he started playing defensively and he made too many errors. Yes, it was pressure and desire but I would say that was his age, not his bottle. He lost several majors through bad luck.

    Greg Norman is the last guy I would listen to regarding the swing. As talented as he is/was he never quite understood his mechanics. Early in his career he set the club in a good position at the top but he tended to lose weight on his ride side going back. Later in his career he fixed that but his swing got flat and the club shut at the top. Recipe for one type of shot pattern (push/draw). So sad because he could have had it all in the game major wise.
