Read More »Leading the 1963 Saskatchewan Open by three strokes, Murray “Moe” Norman found himself with a birdie chance on the final green. He had the tournament sewn up but, to see if he could handle the pressure, he deliberately putted into a greenside bunker before getting up-and-down for a bogey to win by two. Moe was not a conventional golfer. In fact, Moe Norman wasn’t conventional by any standards. He didn’t see a doctor until he was 68, never owned a telephone, only went on three “dates” in his life and received three tickets for driving his Cadillac too slowly. Norman’s golf technique was unique too. Setting the club way out in front of him and a foot behind the ball, he swung with his feet flat on the ground. But the ball went straight, every single time. He was obsessive with practice and had hit some 5 million balls by the end of his career. After receiving a lesson from Sam Snead at the 1956 Masters, Moe proceeded to hit 800 balls until his hands blistered. He was forced to withdraw from the tournament. Leonard Kamsler, the man who took this page's main photo, worked with Norman on a couple of occasions. “I flew up to Canada to do a shoot with Moe but it was difficult to get in touch with him as he didn’t have a telephone.” Kamsler says. “Eventually a go-between arranged a meeting. Moe was living above a bar. He was something of a mystery man in the States so I turned up with a Lone Ranger mask thinking it would make an amusing shot if he wore it. I wasn’t sure how he’d react but he just did it. He was a trusting guy.

Read More »Norman was so unerringly straight that, during his entire career, he went out-of-bounds only once. In a 2004 interview, Vijay Singh was asked who was the best golfer he’d ever seen. Without hesitation, Singh answered – Moe Norman. Tiger Woods said, “Only two players have ever truly owned their swings: Moe Norman and Ben Hogan.” Norman’s phenomenal skill as a ball-striker often overshadows his excellent playing record. He won 54 tournaments and set 33 course records. He shot three 59s and made 17 holes-in-one. He played briefly on the PGA Tour in 1959 but after receiving a dressing-down from officials and players for his unconventional behaviour following a fourth place finish at the Greater New Orleans Open, he was so upset he vowed never to play on the tour again. He returned to his native Canada.
