He wrote a wonderful book about the great Moe Norman called 'The Feeling of Greatness' We talked about the time Tim spent with Moe, playing golf and a fascinating insight to Moe's connection to the target when he played. Why and how Moe was so misunderstood Onto Tim's coaching career Tim's observation of the rampant narcissism in the golfing world today and how we can all become lost in the story of 'I will be happy WHEN' How we are constantly being fed the story that we are 'BROKEN' How we could access our own innate talent How our Ego can hijack the coaching process What Tim learned about coaching from Lou Reed Tim O'Connor is a golf coach, award-winning writer, and podcaster living in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Tim came into coaching following a career as a music critic and then a golf writer during which he covered the major tours and wrote four books including The Feeling of Greatness: The Moe Norman Story, the biography of the mysterious Canadian regarded as the best ball-striker who ever lived. Tim is in the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame as a writer. After being involved for 20 years in men's work with the ManKind Project, Tim moved into coaching golfers, including the University of Guelph men's and women's golf team.
