Norman Guy Von Nida OAM (14 February 1914 – 20 May 2007) was an Australian professional golfer. Von Nida was born in Strathfield and grew up in Brisbane. He turned professional in 1933, after attracting attention by winning the 1932 Queensland Amateur aged just 18. He became one of Australia's finest professional golfers, and the first Australian to win regularly on the British tour, although World War II certainly deprived him of competition during what might have been his peak years. In 1946 he travelled to Britain for the first time and finished second on the Order of Merit; in 1947, he returned and won seven tournaments and topped the Order of Merit. He was renowned for his short temper – at a tournament in 1948 he became involved in an argument with future U.S. Ryder Cup player Henry

  • Norman Von Nida (ur. 14 lutego 1914 w Strathfield, Nowa Południowa Walia, zm. 20 maja 2007 w Gold Coast, Queensland), golfista australijski. Niewysoki zawodnik (168 cm), znany pod przydomkiem "The Von", uważany jest za jednego z pionierów golfa zawodowego w Australii. Nazywany jest "ojcem chrzestnym" tej dyscypliny w swoim kraju - zarówno dzięki własnym sukcesom sportowym, jak i sukcesom zawodników, z którymi współpracował jako trener i konsultant - a rolę, jaką odegrał w australijskim golfie, porównuje się do znaczenia znakomitego krykiecisty Dona Bradmana. Był jednym z pierwszych golfistów australijskich odnoszących sukcesy w Europie, w tym samym czasie, kiedy znaczące osiągnięcia - ale w USA - notowali jego rodacy i (pierwszy australijski triumfator imprezy wielkoszlemowej).

  • Norman Von Nida (Strathfield (bij Sydney), 14 februari 1914 - Gold Coast, 20 mei 2007) was een golfprofessional uit Australië. Hij wordt wel de Vader van Australisch Golf genoemd. Von Nida was in de buurt van Sydney geboren maar groeide op in Queensland. Hij was nog geen 170 cm lang maar hij was sterk, vooral in zijn armen en handen. Volgens hem kwam dat omdat hij in zijn jonge jaren op een abattoir had gewerkt waar schapen geslacht werden. Hij stond bekend vanwege zijn onbeheerste temperament op de golfbaan maar ook daarbuiten. Het verhaal gaat dat hij op de vuist ging met zijn medespeler en dat de politie hen uit elkaar moest trekken. Volgens Von Nida had de andere speler, Henry Ransom, een verkeerde score opgeschreven.
