Moe Norman website memorializing the legendary Moe Norman and his ideal Single Plane Golf Swing

The numbers tell the tale: With 17 holes in one, three scores of 59, four scores of 61, and more than 30 course records during his career, Moe dominated Canadian golf through the mid 20th century.

Among his many victories are two Canadian Amateurs, two CPGA Championships and five CPGA Senior Championships along with multiple victories in the Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan Opens.

Famous professional golfers have recognized Moe for his incredible "machine-like" abilities.

One of Moe’s fans included Tiger Woods, who said: “Only two players have ever truly owned their swings - Moe Norman and Ben Hogan. I want to own mine.”

Lee Trevino once called Moe a genius regarding his ability to play the game of golf.

An unnaturally shy man, Moe shunned public appearances and speaking. His shyness only disappeared while he held a golf club in his hands.

During tournaments, Moe would hit drivers off of 6” tees, soda bottles, and play par 4 holes ‘backward’, hitting a wedge off the tee and a driver onto the green and still make par or better.

After a brief stint on the U.S. PGA Tour, these antics earned Moe a ‘dressing down’ by some members of the tour, and he left to never play in the U.S. competitively again.

Moe’s accuracy with a golf ball earned him a meager living until 1995. During one of his clinics, Moe hit over 1,500 drivers in a little over seven hours, all of which where within 15 yards of one another. It was this accuracy that eventually earned Moe the respect and notoriety that true genius deserves.

In January 1995, Titleist decided to pay Moe $5,000 per month for nothing more than his unique contribution to the game of golf. Moe passed away September 4, 2004 at the age of 74, with hundreds coming to Kitchener, Ontario, Canada to pay their respects to the legend.

Moe’s genius with a golf club was seen by thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, throughout his lifetime. He often hit balls at the Canadian Open for the touring professionals when the tournament was in town.

Moenorman.org is way for anyone, who may have never known Moe, to get at true perspective on Moe, his life, his achievements and who he was.

This site is a place to memorialize a man who played the game of golf with passion and lived his life as he described "my way"; a life which included, as any life does, numerous personal disappointments, many of which he overcame to become the Legend and Canadian Hall of Fame Member I remember.
