Knowing Knudson

He then adjusted things, like the turn of the left foot at address for instance. The right foot drag takes a lot of stretch out of lower body for those that are less flexible and makes getting to Finish way easier and more comfortable.
Very interesting, O.B. Canadian George Knudson was one of the finest ball strikers of his generation. I was privileged to watch him play at The Masters and several of the southeastern PGA TOUR stops. Thanks for this insight!
