I first saw greg norman in 1988 hitting drivers on the range at riverside oaks g/c (north of Sydney) i was directly behind him and there were few ppl there as it was a work day, i have never seen a golf ball hit with such authority as what i witnessed that day, just incredible and with the old clubs and balls, i miss watching him play, he was without doubt the most exciting player ever to watch!!!!!! come back and play in australia greg we need you............
Ditto here. I got to see him play in person at Colonial in '92, and it was just so steady and so good. He shot about 66 or 67, I think it was, without breaking a sweat (he didn't win--I think Lietzke and maybe Pavin went into a playoff). Much more under control than his image would lead you to believe. Releases hell out of the clubhead and doesn't worry much about it. It's a great way to play. I don't think he was ever appreciated for what he was by most fans, but he is by me.
One of my favorites. Great swing and love his focus when he plays.

Nice rhythm, simple mechanics. Boy do I miss seeing him play more often.

So easy to see that he hits maximum clubhead speed at impact, nowhere else.
