Moe Norman
Golf Digest seems to have amazing luck when it comes to timing their
feature interviews and “My Shots.” Unfortunately for golf, this time it
meant coinciding with the loss of one of the game’s greatest
characters, Moe Norman.
Norman offers many fascinating and honest thoughts on all aspects of the game. And this interesting remark on technology:
“With a titanium driver I'm hitting it farther now than when I was 35, and that's the truth. It doesn't satisfy me, it bothers me. Do I want to hit the ball farther when I'm 100 than I do now? No, it wouldn't be right. All anyone cares about is hitting it farther—even with the irons. Hitting the ball pure and accurate is more rewarding than hitting it far. Don't forget that, ever.”
Golf Digest also shows how to utilize the web by unearthing David Owen's memorable 1995 story on Norman.
