How could you fly a glider without a rudder and not be able to tell

Was the yaw string missing too?

My thoughts exactly!

Whilst not wishing to undermine the obvious safety message about
ensuring the rudder is firmly attached to the aircraft, this missive
has the distinct odour of urban myth...

If I recall correctly, one of the very first lessons in gliding is the
secondary effects of using the controls. This includes adverse yaw
due to aileron movement without rudder!
