I'll never forget the time I was at the Canadian Open at Glen Abbey in the 70's. I was watching the pros at the practice range when this friendly man came up to me and asked how I was enjoying the Open.After a little small golf talk Payne Stewart came up to us and asked him if he would show him something at the practice range.Little did I know I was talking with the legionary Moe Norman.
That’s an incredible story, love that Payne was getting a tune-up like that. But imagining Moe in a roman Legionary outfit at the Canadian Open definitely gave me a chuckle
Watched Moe several times at Canadian Open on the practice range. It was unbelievable how all the top PGA Tour guys would stop their practice and crows around to watch him hit balls. The trunk of his Cadillac was jammed with clubs, balls, etc. my son lived in his parent’s house on Gruhn Street in Kitchener and one day his sisters came by and asked him to let them see the house.
He started late, was self taught, had zero fear, (ask Jack!), and he had a five year window that was as good as anybody's. A killer on the Senior Tour! What a player!!!
I remember Moe from Roseland ProAm in 86, sat at dinner together, in 1998 at Essex Ladies Canadian Open, I was the “ inside the ropes , Water Marshall for the Pro’s”; I heard Scott, Scott, it was Moe, he remember me from a decade earlier 🤷♂️, Moe and I drove in my Cart for the last 2 days, what a fun experience, how many people and Pro’s stop over to chat and thank, relaxed man when he trusted u 😉…
I like Lee. He tells it like it is, and Lee knows what it’s like to be a great golfer from outside the country club life. I grew up on a muni 60 miles from Moe’s hometown. Once in a while he would show up and play our humble track. When he visited all were in awe that we were being visited by a legend.
@@blujay9191 yes I remember an interview with Jack in the booth after a Tiger win in early 2000s....Tiger had just won by a bunch, and guy goes "is Tiger not incredible? is he the best ball striker you have ever seen?" And Jack goes "No, Hogan. Easily. "
I've played golf for decades, and have played with a few golfers that had tour caliber games, and had won several club and city championships, but knew they could never be tour players. There are X factors that allow you to take your game to the next level by level by level. For example there are some golfers who can never quite get on tour, some tour players who've never won, some who've only won once, some who can't win a Major, some who'll only win one major. The variations go on and on.
I loved that balata when I wasn't cutting it with mishits. They spun so easily. I could hold greens when no one else could playing those "long distance" two-piece rocks of the day.
Being a Canadian "pipe line" Moe was a great great golfer. .Unfortunately he was extremely shy and he had too many people who tried to.change him which.was a big mistake a bad thing. Probably one of the best ball striker ever!!! A golfing genius for sure!!
One GENIUS saluting another. The word is in uppercase for a reason. Lee Trevino and Moe Norman could make a golf ball stand up and sing the National Anthem. American or Canadian. Take your pick!!That a man Jack Nicklaus hailed as the games greatest shotmaker, would sing the praises of Moe Norman to that extent is telling. Like Norman, Trevino almost can't recall the last time he hit a ball out of play. Give each man a bucket of balls. Then place them on the 17th tee at TPC Sawgrass. Both would empty the bucket without missing the Island Green once. Trevino is probably right. Had Moe Norman been given proper guidance he could have won every tournament in existence. To win at the highest level requires every tumbler clicking into place. No matter how otherworldly the gift.
Moe is from my hometown. When he was a kid he would wake up my uncle early and they would "hop" onto Rockway golf course in Kitchener. My dad would caddie. Hit it straight back then. Would see him at the same golf course, when I would play & around town @ coffee shops. Shy guy. Best striker of the ball.
Once you pass on, it can be argued you become many things. But you can only truly be legendary after you die just so long as you're continuously recognized as such by those legends still alive. True story.
These are My observations when viewing Moe Norman videos. First he is a natural LEFTY playing from the right side. He used mostly a ten finger grip with oversized leather grips. At times it appeared to use a very slight reverse overlap. When younger he used a traditional overlap when his right pinky slightly overlapped. He said his clubs were E4 swing weight...very heavy ... His palm grip allowed him to hit hundreds of balls a day with very little stress to his fingers. I believe as a Lefty he never had the urge to come over the top. His Powerful leg action going forward as the club approached the top of his swing was well grooved. His "Vertical Drop"coming from the inside produced consistent straight shots with his heavy clubs. His set up preset his shoulder turn & raised his left side... and produced his tilt. He called all this "The Feeling Of Greatness"
God first sentence is a huge advantage....mickelson is another example, right eye dominant but swings left handed...if I could go back as a 5 year old and take up the game.of golf, I'd learn to swing left handed
Since covid hit lve taken to my backyard driving range, concintrated on my left side, weakened the pressure with my right hand gripe,,spread my feetwider than my shoulders , and this is key don't move my head on iota,and learned to stay down the line as long as possible,ala lee tevino moe norman spent some money on good clubs and hit an average of one hundred balls a day....streaight is great I'm not trying to hook draw fade cut.....and after sixty years of playing at this game I'm playing the game you can't master....only respect Iin
Well said Lee, but as you said - if Moe had someone to guide him where he should be playing then he would have been known world wide - I only found out about Moe through Todd Graves just two years ago and I am 70 years old and live in Scotland, most of my golf mates have not heard about Moe, That is such a shame, But then it was the yanks who turned their backs on Moe from the start of his career! Where was the good Samaritans then to help Moe? No one, was it jealousy or did they not like the look of Moe? But then Moe's Dad turned his back on his son, amazing to watch and to listen too as I walked the round with him! He had it tough too in his young life, but he got on with it as he had confidence within himself that Moe lacked! eaching those who tune into his channel in how to swing like Moe
If Mr. Trevino thinks you are genius, that's saying something. Moe's amazing attributes as a golfer was also his restrictions. His mind was constantly working and sometimes, our minds fatigue. The harder you work....
Trevino saying ANYBODY is a genius is incredibly high praise. Trevino is not easily impressed, especially by anybody that hasn't won at the highest level...and Moe never did...so Trevino must KNOW that the talent is there, but it has been misguided etc...
My feeling of greatness is when I hit the ball and can't feel it on the club head, the sweet spot. One time on the driving range I shot a little over 400 balls at about 95% or better with accuracy I could not believe, a week later it left me like I never play before. Practice makes perfect for sure.
Ah yes the sweet spot. And the ball just disappears over the horizon. It's almost as if the golf gods granted you divine powers and the 4 -iron becomes lighter than air. Then.....poof!! I can relate. You're definitely not alone bobber.
I do this all the time though I'm starting to get more consistent. It's like one day I'm just locked in and the very next it's like I've never played golf before.
No point in what if this what if that. Moe did it his way. He loved the game. He taught us much and he accomplished a lot. The way he was is enough. Like he said. He did it his way and is considered one of the great ball strikers. Moe himself would probably say he was satisfied looking at everything considered. Thank you Moe. I learned much from you about golf and life.
Bon Scott , I subscribe to your point of view ! But Moe could reach higher achievements. C’est la vie!! Titleist brought him some financial support at the end ... a great action from a great company. Moe deserved it. But so many people used to hurt him. Sad... « Life ate me » he once said. No! Not only Life. Bonne journée Monsieur Scott !
Pascal. Good life to you. Moe brought us much. Simplicity. Love for the game. He really was totally understanding of playing golf as a test of the human spirit. He learned much of life through golf. And he told us of that experience. Truly a genius of the game and a genius on how to look inward to better oneself. Savant? No way. He knew what was happening. He had a god given gift and he showed it to the world through telling us not to worry. Accept. Enjoy. Take care, pascal.
If Lee Trevino says Moe is a legend, then it must be true. Lee also mentions the what if, being the what if someone had taken Moe under their wing and helped him overcome shyness, a fear of public speaking and the putting yips. How many Majors and key tournaments could Moe have won, with a mentor? Sadly, we will never know the answer to this thought-provoking question. But, we know that Lee Trevino believed Moe had the golfing ability to win more.
The most important Lee said about Moe was IF someone had taken Moe under their wing heaven knows what he may have achieved, but remember Moe was a strange kind of guy.
Moe was not "a strange kind of guy". He was very likely autistic savant. He could not function in an ordinary way socially but man, could he hit a golf ball. As Lee said, if someone had taken him under his wing, he could have won everything. But this was the 50s & 60s & people shunned & ridiculed the mentally ill. He was often put on display hitting trick shots & treated as a joke rather than one of the greatest ball strikers golf has ever known.
Moe won tournaments in Canada and shot under 60 a few times so it is puzzling why his record in the U.S. was so paltry (9 starts, I think). Some deep insecurity kept him back, perhaps. With a 90% accuracy statistic off the tee he would have won multiple U.S. Opens.
Moe had 0 instruction and no support...he found his consistency just on his own by hitting balls...now imagine if he was emotionally supported by other players and had a coach he trusted to help him keep building on his skills...it would be incredible... Lee trevino once did another interview where he said "you guys have no idea how easy it is for that man to play golf"
How come there is no videos of Moe winning any tournaments ? Or playing on the PGA ? Many videos of Moe practicing but no tournaments. But if Lee said that, I believe him.
Moe played in his prime in the 50's and 60's. Very few televised events. Most of the videos of Moe are when he was past his prime - in his senior years when he started to become more recognized for his talents.
Todd Graves ...oh I see, thanks for letting me know that, I watch many videos of Moe , he’s such an interesting individual. His quotes makes me think he was a poet. He’s got so many great “one liners”.
@@ToddGravesGolf Couldn't the same be said about Hogan, Bobby Jones, Julius Boros, etc.? But these players are well known for their swings AND for winning.
joe... I am a pro. I started with Cesar Cenudo, Lee's very good lfriend for 15 years. I know the real story this is a soundbite to help out ole moe... who are you
@Bobbie Bobbejaan If you really like to know how good he was,have a look at how many golfer get invited to play at the Masters,he got invited twice.Now think about how many duds that being a useless hack golfers get invited to play in the masters not once but twice.On the senior tour he shot a 70.69.69.69 IN CANADA against the best seniors in the world.
@Bobbie Bobbejaan Your statement he could not hold his own on the PGA tour,27 PGA tour games made the cut 25 times.Senior PGA tour 5 games made the cut five times,not a bad record for any pro
@Bobbie Bobbejaan Let start with 18 years as a PRO,that in it's self is a very good effort,and in that 18 years I doubt if he had to qualify to play in a tournament. You cannot compare Moe with the likes of Nicklaus,he may have had the talent to play at that level but his mind seemed to operate on a different plane than those guys,Trevino said he was good, Woods said only two guys own their own swing that being Hogan and Moe,he owned more course records than 99.9% of golfers he broke 60 a few times he won 50 odd tournaments,he represented his country in the Canadian cup and the World cup and was invited to the Masters twice. And to top that, in the senior Tour in 1982 he won $10000 finishing 3thd with a 70,69,69,69,It took a Masters champion and a US open winner to beat him.You know Bobby there are players out there today that will never win,never hold a course record ,never break 60,never represent their country and only watch the Masters on TV, but they will earn 1000 times more than Moe.Choose who you would rather be a poor legend who people still talk about or a wealth hack who nobody will ever talk about?
Trevino is NOT one of the greatest golfers in history at all. Ask 100 pro golfers who they think are the top 30 players on history and Trevinos name probably wouldnt be mentioned. Trevinos personality had more to do with his fame then anything esle. He was very good but not great at all compared to alot of other pro's
Simply not true. Jack Nicklaus said many times that the 2 greatest ball strikers he ever saw were Hogan and Trevino, and he was not sure which one was the better ball striker. In a 20 day span in 1971 Trevino beat Nicklaus in the US Open playoff, won the Canadian Open, and the British Open. In a number of Trevino's major victories, Nicklaus came in 2nd. Trevino had 29 Tour victories, 6 majors, and tore up the Senior Tour with another 29 victories. He beat Jack again in 1990 in the first Senior Open they both played. If you ask Jack Nicklaus, where Trevino ranks, you find out the truth.
Boy, the tour needs more guys like Lee, we miss him!
I'll never forget the time I was at the Canadian Open at Glen Abbey in the 70's. I was watching the pros at the practice range when this friendly man came up to me and asked how I was enjoying the Open.After a little small golf talk Payne Stewart came up to us and asked him if he would show him something at the practice range.Little did I know I was talking with the legionary Moe Norman.

@@dylandejong7086 He was talking about the French Foreign "Legion"! Kinda weird you the jump to the Roman Legion. Just saying.
@@radar0412 lol, therein lies the joke
but yes, how foolish of me to not include the french foreign “legion” in my silly little joke

I’d no idea he was a legionnaire…..
One of the many great things about Lee, was the fact he always spoke highly of others. What a good man.
Absolutely true!!! One of the greatest golfer's ever!!
as a young Punk who knEW nothing about golf and didnt care to. I loved watching Trevino and listen to his Chatter. Thank you Mr. Trevino
@Gerry McIntosh: That's a lost art.
When the camera on him he is
He started late, was self taught, had zero fear, (ask Jack!), and he had a five year window that was as good as anybody's. A killer on the Senior Tour! What a player!!!
You just have to love Lee Trevino, surely the greatest ever character in all of golf.
Yes.

Lee enjoyed the game and playing it. Had a great sense of humor and never acquired a superior attitude of himself. He remained a humble, gracious man.
One of my heroes when I first started out playing golf in 1971.
Me too.
I like Lee. He tells it like it is, and Lee knows what it’s like to be a great golfer from outside the country club life. I grew up on a muni 60 miles from Moe’s hometown. Once in a while he would show up and play our humble track. When he visited all were in awe that we were being visited by a legend.
Two of my Favs, Lee Trevino and Moe Norman
Me too
Exceedingly high praise from one of the greats.
When Lee talks I listen
Moe himself on the clinics posted on YT without hesitation stated Trevino also knew the feeling of greatness....just with a fade. =)
Many claim the older you get, the more you fade. In response Lee Trevino said simply... "only if you're lucky"... ;)
Mo the legend, it's neat to see how even Tiger knew about him and watched him play on the range.
Whenever I think of Lee Trevino I think of one of the most confident sportsmen there ever was.
After Jack gave him that friendly push he ran with it
The second best ballstriker that ever played the tour (after Hogan), talking about the best ballstriker that ever lived. Legendary.
I saw an interview with Jack some years ago and the subject of ball strikers came up and Jack said two names. Hogan and Trevino.
@@blujay9191 yes I remember an interview with Jack in the booth after a Tiger win in early 2000s....Tiger had just won by a bunch, and guy goes "is Tiger not incredible? is he the best ball striker you have ever seen?"
And Jack goes "No, Hogan. Easily. "
Tiger said the same thing "hogan owned his swing, only him and mo norman"...he didn't mention Trevino but Lee is certainly on that level

I've seen Trevino play shots when it really mattered with a balata golf ball that NOBODY on the planet could dream of
All those shots will be lost... Like tears... in rain.
I loved that balata when I wasn't cutting it with mishits. They spun so easily. I could hold greens when no one else could playing those "long distance" two-piece rocks of the day.
Lee was one of golfs greatest player & gentlemen
After saying if you work hard at it you can achieve it. Then he finally said that i was given a god given talent (there it is )

Well spoken Lee I, I would have paid anything to have played a round of golf with Moe...
Could you imagine if we had Moe's swing and Lee's personality in one golfer! Holy shit!

He was autistic and shortly after starting on the tour was cornered by some other pros and it freaked him out
30 starts 27 cuts .not that bad but he was better
He was autistic, eccentric.Tour officials/pros told him he did not conform to their tour ideals.
Bobby Locke's story is rather odd too. Perhaps even more so.

He even played a hole backwards, teeing off with a putter and putting with his driver on the green.
Moe was probably on the spectrum
Propaganda for the public. They were afraid of Moe cuz he didn’t go by their rules.
I wish I had time to hit 500 balls a day!!!!!!!! I would have lagg and dominate the course,.

That is true.
Having worked a number of PGA events Lee Trevino is not the man you see when the cameras are rolling.
Really? Please elaborate.
Who is?
Trevino is NOT one of the greatest golfers in history at all. Ask 100 pro golfers who they think are the top 30 players on history and Trevinos name probably wouldnt be mentioned. Trevinos personality had more to do with his fame then anything esle. He was very good but not great at all compared to alot of other pro's
Simply not true. Jack Nicklaus said many times that the 2 greatest ball strikers he ever saw were Hogan and Trevino, and he was not sure which one was the better ball striker. In a 20 day span in 1971 Trevino beat Nicklaus in the US Open playoff, won the Canadian Open, and the British Open. In a number of Trevino's major victories, Nicklaus came in 2nd. Trevino had 29 Tour victories, 6 majors, and tore up the Senior Tour with another 29 victories. He beat Jack again in 1990 in the first Senior Open they both played. If you ask Jack Nicklaus, where Trevino ranks, you find out the truth.
92 professional wins you schmuck. 6 majors. 29 on Champions tour.
Your a funny guy, funny like how? Funny like a clown. .
What kind of koolaid you drinking idiot!
Trevino not great
