Media Reviews
Everyone's story is different and inspiring in their own way which is what makes this wonderful compilation of biographies such a treat. I could never tire of hearing the stories of our great champions so whether you are an aspiring golfer or an old-timer like me who enjoys the history of the game, I have no hestitation in recommending Andy Farrell's fascinating book. --Arnold Palmer; Hugely informative and thought-provoking --The Irish Independent; Enjoyable and informative ... Dip in and you will find characters to delight and surprise. There is a mixture of the astonishing, the unusual, the wacky and the uplifting. --Peter Dixon, The Times; Don't be put off by the list aspect - this is a cracking book. Not just 100 mini-biographies, but full of good stories and some fantastic quotes. Farrell also makes some excellent and intriguing left-field picks. Full of nuggets such as the fact that Hale Irwin won more money heading the 1997 Champions Tour money list than Tiger Woods did topping that year's PGA tour. --Dave Tindall, skysports.com; A book to argue with as well as to learn from. I recommend it wholeheartedly. --Brian Viner, Independent
