To my continued delight, the continuity of sub-minor characters can vary drastically between wildly inconsistent and remarkable attention to detail. Ms Norton falls under the latter.

I'm not gonna sugar coat it: "Dead Putting Society" is one of the lighter episodes we've had. Not many numbered characters to look forward to, and not many bonuses, we're really scraping the barrel here.
HEY, SPEAKING OF BARRELS:

TWO major characters in a row? It almost feels silly establishing Larry as a major character when Maude was just around the corner. This episode features the Flanders family quite heavily - more heavily than any prior episode - so it makes sense t...

I've given the most important characters a prime spot at the front here. I don't think we'll see Tony Bennett again, but his milestone of being the first celebrity to voice themselves is huge. I think Larry is the MVP, even if most people couldn't...

We're ending the episode with the most significant character introduced! More people could name the Capital City Goofball than Larry I'd wager, but Larry appears in FAR more episodes. He has even appeared in Moe's Tavern a few times prior to this,...

We have one more character to cover before we wrap this episode up, but we're gonna skip ahead briefly to spotlight these two background characters.
The last of the fully named characters in this episode is visible only behind frosted glass, so I've had to take some artistic liberty in drawing him here. At least his one shot makes his name nice and clear.

We're circling the runway on this episode, but the nature of having two major scenes in two different stadiums means we're meeting a lot of random staff members with no purpose beyond this episode.

I regret to inform you that it is another ex-wife.

One of two ex-wives that Marge gets to meet. I hate to define these women exclusively by the status of their previous marriage, but that's all the show really gives us to go on here.
