Talk:Greg Norman

How can Greg Norman be described as Australian when the article itself notes he lives in Florida? That makes him American, unless there is a Florida in Australia that I'm unaware of. ;)

Lots of Americans are living in Iraq just now. By your reasoning above that makes them all Iraqi, doesn't it ? Unless there's an Iraq in America that I'm unaware of ;) Greg Norman was born in Queensland, so unless he's taken out American citizenship, he's Australian.-- Derek Ross 05:21, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

His profile is no longer that great here (Australia), but if it was, that awful American accent would probably get some stick. Pretty much only see him when he's flogging one thing or another.

Wow, I was born in Queensland too but live in Ireland. I guess i'll have to start getting offended at all those Irish jokes! ...and stop telling them!Factoid Killer 14:18, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Why would Norman live in Australia when the USA is the centre of the golfing world? Golf is much more popular in the USA than it is in Australia. He spent years playing on the USA tour. I dont think Norman has even taken out dual citizenship with the USA post 2002. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.68.25 (talk) 16:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Changed "2 wins in 1997" to "2 wins in 1998". Rechecked, realized 1997 was right, then went to revert, but someone already beat me to it.John ISEM (talk) 19:34, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

"would have taken a bullet" quote from Mills about Greg Norman surely belongs here? ROxBo (talk) 14:40, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Nickname

He is nicknamed "The Great White Shark," or simply "The Shark," a reference to a shark inhabiting Australian waters as well as Norman's blond hair, size and aggressive golf style.

As far as i am aware.. Sharks don't have blonde hair, well except in cartoons. This might want editing? 81.129.112.16 (talk) 23:39, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Earlier in his career, his hair at times almost looked white, like an albino. I think this is where the "white" in "Great White Shark" may relate to his hair. But it actually was an Augusta sportswriter who coined the term in 1981, with the headline "Great White Shark Leads Masters", I think. Greg Norman said he'd like to meet and thank that guy, because he made Norman a lot of money.John ISEM (talk) 19:34, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
