I couldn’t agree more.

Moe is eccentric, autistic, a savant with a golf club and ball. It is a shame he was treated with such rudeness and mockery by the PGA players. We all know how easy it is to reject people that are different. Homer said to be successful, you have to be different. Moe was both.

Moe didn’t always know what he was doing with the club when he tried to explain it. He trusted feel and “seems to bes.” He says he is all left side but there is so much to admire about his right side- that powerful right arm thrust. It was his autism that allowed Moe to perform one task perfectly- over and over- again and again. I’m glad God allowed him to overcome his family and let him do that simple task that alludes most of the golfing world- and in our time.
