Summary
Spotlighting a sportsman admired by Tiger Woods himself, this biography details the unique and controversial life of late golfer Moe Norman. The record investigates how, despite winning almost every title in Canada and having his name celebrated in golf circles around the globe, Norman failed to make a mark in the wider world of golf yet still referred to himself as "the happiest guy on two feet." His uncommon swing, mannerisms, and lifestyle are explored, illustrating how he played very quickly, never took a practice swing, repeated every phrase he uttered, and lived in motel rooms most of his life. Norman's crippling insecurity and introversion are revealed, documenting how these conditions kept him from publicly succeeding at the highest levels of play. Penned by a sports journalist who knew the subject for 40 years, this study examines Moe Norman's utterly exceptional technique, his character, how he lived his life well in spite of his significant handicaps, and what this most sensitive and peculiar man meant to those who knew him.
