S11E19 Moe Norman: A Canadian Golf Legend
Moe Norman was a Canadian golf legend widely regarded as one of the greatest ball strikers in golf history. Born in Kitchener, Ontario, in 1929, Norman became famous for his remarkable accuracy, consistency, and unique single-plane swing technique. During his career he won more than 50 Canadian tournaments, including several Canadian PGA Championships. Although he struggled to adapt socially to the pressure and culture of the PGA Tour, many professional golfers, including Tiger Woods and Lee Trevino, praised his extraordinary talent. Moe Norman died in 2004 but remains an iconic figure in Canadian golf history. Lorne Rubenstein is a Canadian writer, broadcaster, and journalist best known for his work covering golf. He has written extensively for major newspapers and magazines, authored several books on golf (including two on Moe Norman), and earned respect for his thoughtful commentary on the sport, its players, history, and culture in Canada and internationally. He is a member of the Canadian golf hall of fame for his work and in 2018 received the PGA Lifetime Achievement Award. Check out Canyon Entertainment’s newest podcast Hostile History!
