\n\nTrailer for the Moe Norman film to be released soon
\n\nConnor's 'flat' golf swing
","summary":"According to Tiger Woods only two players in history have 'owned' their golf swings: the great Ben Hogan and Canada's Moe Norman. Hogan is revered internationally as one of the game's greatest ever exponents and while Norman enjoys less celebrity, his feats of extraordinary hitting are equally legendary among golf aficionados. Moe Norman might be the most remarkable golfer that ever lived and his story is as fascinating as any of the game's celebrated legends. On episode 13 we meet Tim O'Connor, the man who wrote the first book about Moe in 1995 and remains committed to telling Moe's story to this day.","date_published":"2019-06-19T10:00:00.000-04:00","attachments":[{"url":"https://aphid.fireside.fm/d/1437767933/4c826c42-75c6-4661-9e60-c689999a5651/37be5617-2a90-4719-bdb9-b46392e6fb73.mp3","mime_type":"audio/mpeg","size_in_bytes":39144948,"duration_in_seconds":5016}]},{"id":"36746bd4-c7ec-4dc3-97b1-0464c717a0e4","title":"TG History 12: How The US Open Got Off To A False Start","url":"https://talkingolf.fireside.fm/12","content_text":"As the 119th US Open bears down on us TalkinGolf HIstory's Connor Lewis has the fascinating tale of the first US Open - and first TWO US Amateurs - that were erased from the history books.

This monthly podcast will cover every facet of the incredibly rich histroy of golf from players to architecture to clubs to rules to the implements we use to whack the ball around the field of play. And the best thing about it is that it's not only fascinating, it's entertaining, sometimes funny and always enjoyable. This is golf history like you've never heard it before and we hope you'll enjoy the journey as much we do.\nPS: One of the cornerstone ideas of this podcast is to have as much involvement from listeners as possible. We want your feedback - both good and bad - but more importantly we want your input. If you have questions you want answered or ideas for episodes don't be afraid to get in touch. The easiest way is Twitter at @Rod_Morri or @SHistorians or you can also visit the TalkinGolf Facebook page and - if you're into it - sign up to the Society of Golf Hisotirans Facebook page. ","content_html":"There are almost too many golf podcasts to count these days but for all the content - both good and bad - available in audio format none delve into the history of the game. TalkinGolf changes all that this week as hosts Rod Morri and Connor T Lewis boldly go where no podcaster has been before: back. Way back. This monthly podcast will cover every facet of the incredibly rich histroy of golf from players to architecture to clubs to rules to the implements we use to whack the ball around the field of play. And the best thing about it is that it's not only fascinating, it's entertaining, sometimes funny and always enjoyable. This is golf history like you've never heard it before and we hope you'll enjoy the journey as much we do.
\nPS: One of the cornerstone ideas of this podcast is to have as much involvement from listeners as possible. We want your feedback - both good and bad - but more importantly we want your input.
