Spotlighting Moe Norman, a golfer admired by Tiger Woods himself, this memoir by a sportswriter who knew Moe Norman for 40 years details Moe''s unique and controversial life. The record investigates how, despite winning almost every title in Canada and having his name celebrated in golf circles around the globe, Norman failed to make a mark in the wider world of golf yet still referred to himself as "the happiest guy on two feet." His uncommon swing, mannerisms, and lifestyle are explored, illustrating how he played very quickly, never took a practice swing, often repeated phrases when talking, and lived in motel rooms most of his life. Norman's crippling insecurity and introversion are revealed, documenting how these conditions kept him from publicly succeeding at the highest levels of play. Penned by a sports journalist who knew the subject for 40 years, this study examines Moe Norman's utterly exceptional technique, his character, how he lived his life well in spite of his significant handicaps, and what this most sensitive and peculiar man meant to those who knew him.

I read Lorne Rubenstein's Moe & Me and found it to be one of the most intriguing and enjoyable books I've read in ages. If you enjoy Lorne's writing in the Globe and SCOREGolf, then you know just how wonderful a crafter of tales he is. This is about his relationship with the curious golf great Moe Norman that gives insight into Moe's life as never before. Even if you thought you knew everything about Moe, you will learn a lot in this book. And you will also learn about Lorne and how his relationship with Moe became a deep and lasting one. Pick up this book and you won't be able to put it down.
