Summary: A Hole In One!
Review: As a professional in the business world with aspirations to obtain an MBA, I found McHugh's book on leadership highly educational. Using golf as a backdrop, McHugh successfully conveys his message on how to be an effective leader. The format of the book - a round of golf - flows nicely. McHugh's leadership lessons are complimented by interesting, attention-grabbing stories. The "Quick Tips" sections, found at the end of each hole, showcase McHugh's years of experience in the leadership field. I whole-heartedly recommend this book - not only is it apparent McHugh understands what it means to be a leader in the business world, but also in life.

Summary: Great tips from the course to the office!
Review: I am a business executive and an avid golfer, but like us all, could use tips for betterment in both areas. While my golf game may never improve, this book effectively outlines business strategies that can help from the smallest detail all the way up to full-scale corporate ideas. I initially selected the book because of my interest in golf and desire to increase leadership and effectiveness in the workplace. Having seen McHugh's resume, I not only trust his advice, but am not at all surprised by the success he has achieved. The book is a must-read for anyone in the business world, or that just loves the game of golf!

Summary: A Leadership Analogy
Review: Roaming through the management section of a local bookstore, my
attention was caught by the title of this book. As a golfer, always in search of improvement, and as a former executive and now teacher in a university management department, this had to be mandatory reading. What I found is a gem! I heartily recommend it to everyone interested in developing and maintaining
successful relationships with others. Numerous books are available for management training, none better than Don McHugh's approach of comparing the game of golf to the qualities of leadership. Golf and the Game of Leadership is a primer for the understanding of management and leadership action. The lessons throughout the book provide the apprentice supervisor and the senior manager a core of knowledge to guide their leadership actions. If you are a "professional practicing manager" or an "enthusiastic amateur," Don McHugh's writings will provide great enjoyment along with clear understanding of the essentials for successful leadership and success in life.

Summary: A True Guide to Leadership
Review: This is a fun book to read. If you are interested in Golf or leadership, or both, there is much to hold your interest. But the book is really about more than that. It is basically a primer on how to live your life and feel comfortable with yourself, regardless of where you find yourself involved.The further you read into the book the more interesting it becomes. The golf anecdotes are amusing and the leadership stories are informative, but they won't make you a better golfer. If you pay attention to the theme of the book it should improve your leadership effectiveness. This book should be highly recommended to high school seniors, college students, and young adults. If they understand the principle of values they will have a lifetime ahead to benefit from the wisdom found here, acting as a compass for their future
