Todd Graves is the world’s best-known teacher of the Single Plane Swing, which was developed by Moe Norman, the greatest ball-striker in the history of golf according to many of golf’s most respected names. A former player on the Canadian and Asian professional golf tours, Todd became known as “Little Moe” for his ability to replicate the swing of Moe Norman. Through his friendship with Moe and their mentor-student relationship, Todd became an authority on Moe’s Single Plane Swing and dedicated himself to preserving and enhancing Moe’s legacy and teaching his swing. Todd is an archivist of articles, pictures, videos, clubs, and memorabilia that pertain to Moe. In 2000, Todd and his brother Tim Graves co-founded the Graves Golf Academy, the only golf program dedicated to teaching Moe’s approach to golf. The academy has taught more than 5,000 students in its golf schools in Florida, Oklahoma City, and around North America. Todd lives in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
