I played a round with Moe Norman once, Steve. Totally by accident of course.

I was out at a little course and driving range in Mississagua for a couple of hours R and R. Decided to play the "Par three" course. Another guy was about to start, and the sign said "Threesomes and Foursomes only".

I went over and asked could I join him and he said "sure". We both plopped our little 8 iron shots, when this whirlwind came up from behind. "Mind some company"? he said. We nodded, and then both of us realized that the rumpled guy with no teeth was the legendary golf eccentric Moe Norman. He set the ball down..took NO practice swing and 'wedged' the ball a few feet from the hole.

Totally threw both of us! It took us ten minutes to get to the green and Moe said "mind if I play through"?

Hell yes! Play through!

Gave my golf partner and I something to talk about for a few holes.......when all of a sudden....HERE COMES MOE AGAIN! He'd lapped the field for nine holes and was about to "Play through again".

This time we were ready. "It's an honour Mr. Norman....yada yada yada... he then said "yeah it must be" (!!!) with a wink, signed our cards, and played through again.

Lately, there's been a bit more info that's come out about the strange Mr. N. Certainly a degree of autism would explain a lot of his behaviour.
