About Moe Norman
Murray Irwin "Moe" Norman (July 10, 1929 – September 4, 2004) was a Canadian professional golfer whose accuracy and ability to hit shot after shot perfectly straight gave him the reputation as a golf swing "genius" with the nicknames, "Pipeline Moe" and golf's savant "Rain Man". During his career, Norman won 65 Canadian Golf Tour tournaments and set 33 course records. Ken Venturi claimed Norman was one of golf's "premier ball-strikers", and Tiger Woods said Norman and Ben Hogan were the only two golfers in history to have "owned their swings". Over 1995 to 2006, Norman was inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame, the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame, and Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. Norman's first win was in 1949 – a one-day amateur event at the St. Norman won the Canadian Amateur Championship in 1955 and 1956. In 1958, Norman turned professional, winning the Ontario Open in his first event, later entering 21 separate tournaments and winning 17.
