Moe Norman Signed 1995 'The Feeling Of Greatness The Moe Norman Story' Book


Moe Norman did things his own way. This included vehemently shying away from signing autographs for the few individuals that were able to track him down during his limited public appearances and purposely reclusive lifestyle. With blue ballpoint pen, Norman inked his full cursive name on the white of the title page on this book that told his story best titled 'The Feeling of Greatness The Moe Norman Story. The talent was also a mystery when it came to his thoughts, actions and going about life. Norman didn't consider himself a celebrity and preferred to stay out of the spotlight. Instead of a nice hotel, Norman often preferred his car.

Murray Irwin "Moe" Norman (1929–2004) was a Canadian professional golfer whose accuracy and ability to hit shot after shot perfectly straight gave him the nickname "Pipeline Moe". This was echoed by both Tiger Woods and Sam Snead. During his career Norman won 55 tournaments in Canada. He has become a cult figure in many circles for his playing principles.

Against all odds, a member of Moe's followers tracked down the man with perfect ball flight for his penmanship on this book - a true rarity of this legendary figure making this scribed publication a highly prized collectible. While we are occasionally broached with the question: "are you going to have anything Moe Norman in this auction?" and have to explain the rarity of his signature - this auction the answer is "Yes, a signed book by the author himself!" and here it is. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
