Summary: THE MYSTERY SOLVED
Review: As a contempory of Ms. Baugh, I often wondered why this extremely gifted golfer would fail to win not only the BIG ONE, but ANY golf match as a pro. Ms. Baugh, in an honest approach, explains how alcohol became her best friend and a god to her. She tells of her early misses in golf tournaments and the later matches where alcohol caused her hands to shake. She fooled no one but herself and admits she is an alcoholic. An excellent book. Recomended to anyone who faces this problem or knows someone who faces this problem. A GREAT BOOK!!

Summary: Inspirational reading---devastatingly factual experiences
Review: Have you ever wondered how a person who seems to "have it all" can create a personal hell for themselves? Laura Baugh describes in great detail how this happened to her. She gives a brutally honest and compassionate account of her descent into alcoholism. What an amazing story!! Stunningly beautiful with tremendous talent, Laura Baugh became the LPGA's "golden girl". Her inability to get a tour victory after great success as a junior collided with her incredible drive to succeed and win (and throw in a scary, abusive relationship) Laura describes how the pressures caught up with her and how she escaped into wine and champagne. She ruins her life and hits rock bottom with two near death experiences. Amazingly, she recovers to find a new faith in God and to articulate the powerful feelings of getting a second chance in life.I loved this book...

Summary: Growing Up is So Painful!
Review: If you are alcoholic or know someone who is, this is an insightful read. If you know anything about golf (which I don't), it would make the book an even more intimate experience. Sharing Laura's journey is worth the time to see how thoughtlessly one's life can become completely out of control, if not life-threatening as well. 'Good luck, Laura: every day is like climbing a mountain, and drunk or sober, having 7 kids is more than a juggling act.'

Summary: A VERY DRAMATIC STORY
Review: Isn't that the question since we were chldren? Who's in control here? Some figure it out quicker than others and learn the lesson better. For others, like Laura, it takes time and pain. But in the end, gain. Her pain and gain, here exposed for all the world to see, is for the comfort and strength she gives through this book to those who find themselves or loved ones in -- out of control. Frightening and shocking is the realization that such substances take over and dominate such intelligent, talented people. The fight will always be there. Close by though, more powerful than those unrelenting enemies are Laura's strengths she's learned to rely upon and live for, God and children. May both bless her. She's a winner in more important events than just LPGA championships.

Summary: A must read for everybody associated with an alcahol problem
Review: It only takes 4 hrs. to read this book. My daughter was at Betty Ford, I learned more about her problem from this book than all the pamphlets I received. I now have a better understanding of people with this problem than I ever did. I have a sense of guilt that I didn't reach out and try to be more understanding during her problem days. Thank you Laura for your truthfullnes.

Summary: A VERY DRAMATIC STORY
Review: THIS IS THE STORY OF LAURA BAUGH, RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC, PRO GOLFER, AND MOTHER. SHE DOES A GREAT JOB DESCRIBING HER LIFE AND CAREER. HER STRUGGLE WITH INNER DEMONS, BROKEN MARRIAGES, AND PRESSURES IS VERY INTERESTING. HER STORY IS A MIRACLE. AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF THE 12 STEP PROGRAM OF AA AT WORK. LAURA HAS BEEN BLESSED BY GOD AND THIS IS A GREAT READ FOR ALL RECOVERING AND PRACTICING ADDICTED PEOPLE. I REMEMBER WHEN LAURA FIRST CAME ON THE PRO TOUR IN THE EARLY 70'S, SHE WAS THE HOTTEST HOTTIE IN SPORTS. GLAD TO SEE SHE HAS CONFRONTED HER ADDICTION AND DEALS WITH IT ONE DAY A TIME. SHE IS STILL HOT AND CERTAINLY PROVEN TO BE A BABY MACHINE. MUST READ.
