My Take on the Book
As I get ready for fathers day, this book is a great collections of stories and anecdotes from some of the most well-known names in golf, reflecting on their own fathers. I loved the fact that the book was filled with heart-warming stories from these individuals and at the same time, you could tell that they were being both honest and up-front about their relationships with their fathers. You do not always get to read about the intimate lives of the golfers that you have come to know and appreciate in the game of Golf. but this book takes a personal look into their lives and they share much more than you would typically consider. A great book that was easy to read. The chapters were manageable and each contribution is unique and opens the door into a life that might not be too far different from your own.
