Summary
“I don’t know of any player, ever, who could strike a golf ball like Moe Norman…. (He) is a genius when it comes to playing the game of golf.” (Lee Trevino)
Murray “Moe” Norman was always a little different. He took up the game of golf when he was 12, and spent hours hitting balls until his hands bled. He became a phenomenon on the amateur and professional golf circuit in Canada, represented his country at international tournaments and played in The Masters (though he broke all the Masters decorum by walking off before finishing his round).
Moe was always humbly aware of his special gift but he also suffered crippling shyness. He had a limited number of friends among professional golfers, many of whom didn't think he was made of 'the right stuff'. Moe was an individual and always unique, from his personal conduct to his utterly stunning golf swing accuracy.
In Moe’s career, he set 33 course records, including three 59s, and he recorded 17 hole-in-ones. He was truly a golfing prodigy and had the perfect swing. Moe became one of the few golfers to receive a $5000 per month pension from Titleist in recognition of his golfing talent.
