182 – Player Profile: Moe Norman w/ Lorne Rubenstein

We sat down with decorated golf journalist and writer - Lorne Rubenstein - for our second Player Profile episode, chronicling the career of the legendary, enigmatic character: Moe Norman. Murray Irwin ‘’Moe’’ Norman was a professional golfer from Kitchener, Ontario. Self-taught, with a unique swing, demeanour and personality, as well as a god given skill for flushing the golf ball.
