Murray "Moe" Norman, Golfer

Golf is easy. People make it hard.

Moe Norman

Everybody asks themselves [after a round] what did I do wrong? I say, 'What did I do right?� That�s what I want to learn -- what I did right.

Moe Norman

I don't know of any player, ever, who could strike a golf ball like Moe Norman, as far as hitting it solid, knowing where it is going and knowing what he wants to do with the ball. Moe Norman is a genius when it comes to playing the game of golf.

First Time I Played with Moe

http://www.birdgolf.com/golfwithmoe.shtml

For those of you reading the newsletter, I pass on to you that Moe Norman is really a genius (I have his personal papers which he gave me on that first day), who deserves the respect and noteriety he is now getting at age 72. I shall always regard him as the "most unforgettable character I ever met."

Golf's purest striker rarely missed a fairway

I never heard Norman speak about autism, but I know that he understood its cruelties. In his car, which was filled with old newspaper clippings and the motivational tapes that helped rescue his life, he once had a well-worn article about autism sitting on the front seat. In the article the outdated term "idiot savant" was discussed at length. Norman had crossed out the word idiot.

As his standoffish behavior at clinics suggests, Moe is still painfully uncomfortable interacting with strangers. But his golf game has not deteriorated; he claims to be hitting the ball better than ever.
