The Payne Stewart Story Paperback

Rating:
Summary: Awesome!
Review: As a HUGE Payne fan this is a great book. Balanced, mature. The beauty of this book is that it's not dragged down by its lack of perspective like Tracy Stewart's biography. A fine read. I recommend this before any other Stewart biography.

Summary: Where were you?
Review: If old enough, you remember where you were when President Kennedy was assassinated. If a golf fan, you remember where you were when Payne Stewart died. I was in a restaurant having lunch with a couple of other guys. We paid only occasional attention to reports on the television behind the bar. A Lear jet was off course and expected to crash. Sadly, we soon would learn its occupants. If you read no other chapter in this excellent account of Payne Stewart's life, read the one detailing how the golfer's friends and associates learned the bad news. It's a dramatic piece of writing by Larry Guest. And it creates a bond between any reader who remembers that day and the golfer's friends in the book who talk about it. In another memorable chapter, Guest's detailed reporting makes you feel as if you're right in the aircraft during its deadly, and as yet unexplained, flight from Florida to a midwestern cornfield. This book would be a good read even for people who are not golf fans. If you do follow golf, it's a must read. If you were a Payne Stewart fan, you should have already read it.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Much better than the Tracy Stewart biography. This one has real writing and isn't afraid to give the whole side of the story.
