High SpiritsFree-spirited Canadian golfer Moe Norman was as much an entertainer as a golfer, clownishly playing to the galleries by teeing balls atop such unusual items as Coke bottles. Indeed, on one memorable occasion, Norman teed off using... a woman's high heeled shoe.
["People laugh at me, but that's OK," Norman once declared. "They also reviled another reformer." The reformer in question? "Jesus Christ."]
[Trivia: The $100,000 cost of a month's worth of personalized instruction with Norman may have been worth it: In a interview in 1996, Norman claimed to have played with the same tee since 1989 - and to have last hit a ball out of bounds 11 years earlier.]
Norman, Moe (?- ) Canadian-born American golf instructor, Winner of seven consecutive CPGA senior championships (1979-1985) [noted for his unconventional, minimalist swing (hammer-hold grip, right arm in a single plane with the club shaft, abbreviated backswing, hips barely turning) and for his consulting work with 'Natural Golf' golf camps]
