You are right about that. Thats *probably* why NG doesn't let him talk on the commercials or be involved in there business.

BGG:

You are right he was disrespectful. But can you blame him? After all, he was mentally abused during his prime by other golfers. What about when he was on the PGA Tour. A group of well known PGA Tour golfer's cornered him, and then chewed him up, and spit him out.

Those golfers basically made MN feel afraid to be around them or even on the PGA Tour. So, that is why MN is like he is right now. I mean, it works. People don't do that to him anymore.

Moe is someone that doesn't like to get into fights. When anyone act's like he does people listen to him, and show him respect.

It's like with a cop. ALL the cops in the town I live in are SO nice. When you are pulled over they don't put on a big act. They come up to the car and act nice. They want to know how your day was, and if there is anything they can do to make it better. Also, 99% of the time they will cut a deal with you, like, if your light is out you have to get it fixed within 1 week, and if it's not fixed in 1 week THEN you get the ticket.

But, if one day one of the cops pulls over some driver that is new to the town, and doesn't know that the town police are so nice, and that person starts to go wild, then the cop will get strict. And if that same cop pulls the same driver over again he will know that he has to act strict.

So, Tom, you can't really blame Moe Norman. People he doesn't know he acts like you are required to show him more respect than he ever is required to show you. But, when he gets to know you, and see you are a nice person, he will calm down.

I just hope that one of the golfers that cornered him and chewed him up wasn't Ben Hogan, cause that would be sad. I am a major Ben Hogan golf fan, as is my family.
