Default Great book about golf and Humanity

A new book has just been released that I was unable to put down.

It is a story about the best ball striker that golf has ever had.
This is documented by Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus, Ben hogan, Arnold Palmer, and
many other great golfers.

However, this man was "different" than the average golfer and did not get
credit he deserved. He was finally inducted into the Canadian Golf
Hall of Fame.

It is a teary eyed, compassiate book about a person who had a special
ability who wasnt accepted like others.

The book is "Moe and Me" It is a book about Moe Norman written by one
person who was able to get close to him.

Highly recommend this book. Not only for golfers

I just read Arnie and Jack: Palmer, Nicklaus, and Golf's Greatest Rivalry by Ian O'Connor. We lived in Upper Arlington, Ohio--Jack's home and I learned much about him that I never knew.

As an avid golfer and golf historian, I have often heard about Moe Norman. I had always believed he was autistic. I can't wait to read the book. Thanks for posting.
