A Passion for Golf: Celebrity Musings About the Game

Rating:
Summary: When celebrities start talking on a golf course, listen!
Review: Ann Liguori's timely collection proves once again that golf crumbles barriers and helps people find common ground. There are many fascinating disclosures in "A Passion For Golf" from some of the most tight-lipped interview subjects of our time. Each chapter is a self-contained journal. The author asks the right questions and is rewarded with compelling answers. From Dan Quayle to Joe Pesci to Sugar Ray Leonard to Charles "Peanuts' Schulz, the reader is given insights into what drives these successful people -- along with what drives them crazy. A great gift for a golf-lover, a sports fan or a movie buff. The format lends itself to many more volumes in years to come, featuring new names and new revelations. Like a great golf shot, this book is long (on detail) and straight (from their hearts).

Summary: Excellent golf (and life) philosophy.

Summary: Its much more than a golf book !
Review: I found this book to be incredibly interesting because it shows some of the most successfulI people in the world humbled by this maddening game! I love golf and I derived great satisfaction in learning how this diverse group of people not only coped with failure on the golf course but used their talents to get better. Along the way though I felt I was seeing sides of these celebrities I had never seen before. I think Ms. Liguori has discovered a truly unique method and venue for interviewing : the golf course. I let my mother read the book she read all twenty-nine interviews and loved them and she doesnt even golf!

Review: My sister (The Louise Collins Show) interviewed Ann and sent me a copy of the book. I was positively enthralled and almost read it at one sitting. My fasciination was with the profound philosophies expressed by the various celebrities Ann interviewed. Although the interviews with them were interesting, I would have gained almost as much from a book that concentrated on the philosophies alone. I do realize of course the book might not have sold as well. One question Ann, are you willing to share the swing tip or "secret" someone passed on to you and you mentioned in your book?
