Mo Norman

[evahakool]

Good to see Mo Norman get a mention in this months mag.For someone thats accepted as the straightest hitter of a golf ball the games ever seen, and some say the greatest player of all time hes not that well known .

Some of the greats of the game that have seen him from Lee Travino to Tiger Woods were in awe of him,if he was'nt such a maverick he surely would have gone on to win many tournements in the usa.

There is so many stories about Mo Norman,its said that once he hit over 1500 drives all within 30 yards of each other.For someone that could hit the ball so straight time after time it is perhaps surprising that no one teaches and very few copy this swing.

A friend of mine does use this swing to good effect,it is strange to see someone tee the ball up and have the clubface so far back at address.

There are many players that have been called a genius but Mo Norman is up there with the best of them.

Moe Norman was not liked on the PGA Tour ,think he was autistic but he was very entertaining as the article said guys on the range would sit and watch him hit ball after ball,some good videos of him on YouTube.

Unorthadox, different, a one off, the greatest ball striker of all time.
There are a few golf schools that teach Moe's method. Take a search on Google to find them.

This is a nice video about Moe:

Mo can play (as he used to say). Me mate addressed his driver like Mo. Stopped him from comming into it too steeply.
