Chasing the Dream: A Mid-Life Quest for Fame and Fortune on the Pro Golf Circuit

Summary: You got my attention.
Review: As a wannabe pro golfer, I really enjoyed the trials and tribulations that Harry shares in this book. I could not put the book down. The text flows well, and easily keeps your attention. Just the information it contains on the different tour playing requirements is worth the purchase. Every golfer who has dreamed of playing on any golf tour should read this book.

Summary: Eye opening
Review: I was given this book as a present from my mother whose idea of golf is Putt-Putt so I was not expecting too much from it. Boy was I wrong. Hurt's ability to tell a good story was obvious from page one and he truly made you feel like you were along for the ride as well, all the way to the tour. Although overly detailed in parts, he more than made up for it with a wealth of information about golf as a whole. He talks of meeting the Harmon brothers and the tips he learned from them. He takes you to a psychologist to learn the head game of golf. He shows you all the other tour options available to a golfer... while trying to gain your card. It was great read, one I could not put down in the four days or so it took to read.

Summary: Golfer Attempting a PGA run THIS BOOK IS TERRIBLE
Review: The book was well written. Mr. Hunt is a superb writer, but his book has a terrible ending. The book should never have been written. He leads the reader to believe in him and give the reader all the emotions that he will make it to the PGA. But in the end, he fails to make it and never sticks it out, he quits, and thats how it ends, as if he had to leave in a hurry. I hate the book, would almost ask for a refund! Thank you for reading my honest review.

Review: This book is unique in someone who thought he might possibly make the tour gives it quite a run. I really enjoyed reading this. Except for some mild vulgarity, this was a great read. Worth the time and money.

Summary: Good ending doesn't make up for the rest of the book
Review: This book started out slowly, got slower & slower, and then finally picked up its pace at the end. You know it's not the greatest book in the world when a golf enthusiast such as I can manage to read a chapter & then set it aside for a week at a time. It does have some charming character development, however, and I thought the stories at the end of the book bumped this book up from an otherwise deserving one-star book.
