Moe Norman walked 200 yards along a fairway bouncing the ball on a clubface during tournaments, a feat not promoted until Tiger Woods was seen performing it on a Nike commercial. Moe's swing was so consistent that he was able to joke about during the seriousness of competition he would joke around during competition, annoying other players. Moe was never without a Coca-Cola in hand. It's said he drank as much as a case each day. People were always making fun of Moe, what with his clowning about and his weird appearance. It was almost impossible for him to understand if the people were laughing along with him, or laughing at him.

Moe Norman was born and raised in Kitchener, Ontario. His father was a worker at one of the factories not far from their home. Moe was repeatedly humiliated by the country club set. Regardless of the many championships he won, Moe knew only too well that he was an outsider.

Moe Norman (often called the King of Swing and the Glenn Gould of Golf) is recognized by many as the greatest golfer who ever lived. He developed a grip and posture that led to the nickname "Pipeline Moe" for its infallible accuracy. When Norman contacts the ball, it goes straight, every time. From the 1950s through to the 1980s Norman won numerous tournaments and broke 30 course records in Canada, shooting 59 (on a par 72) several times.
