Send in the Clown

A groundbreaking look at the great Moe Norman, in a way never told before.

Yes, Moe Norman did spend nights sleeping in sand traps or in his car, hitting golf balls off of coke bottles, and had an outward appearance that would make you stop in your tracks and look twice. But to those in the know, that wasn't what set him apart. No, it was his golf swing. The best ball-striker in the history of the sport they say. Too bad it was everything else about him that people judged him on instead...

Just like the popular, The Queens Gambit, isn't about chess, this story isn't about golf. Golf is merely the vehicle for the story. At the core is the heart-tugging and challenge-riddled journey of Moe and his desire to let his love for the game succeed over all the obstacles he encountered; both self-imposed and those our narrow-minded world place over anyone slightly "different" from the rest of us.

Being born with a special gift is often something to be celebrated. But sometimes, unless you are willing to play by everyone else's rules and change the essence of who you are, the door to share your "special something" is more often than not slammed shut in your face, rather than held wide open for you to walk through. There is a price to pay.

Moe was one of those kinds of people. And he paid the price. His love and passion for the game never wavered and one of the greatest players in the game was relegated to being a side-show note in history because of it.

Until now.

Come along for a wild ride of ups and downs, challenges and obstacles, victories and defeats, and learn about a man whose name should have been on your lips long ago, whether you are a golf fan or not. A book that will resonate strongly with anyone who has had to hide a part of their truth in the search for acceptance.
