It's Not Fun (PB)

Rating:
Summary: If the golf tours interest you this is a must read.
Review: The author has captured the escence of the Developmental Tours and the exciting yet mostly futile efforts of the multitude of young pros trying to earn their stripes onto the Big Tour. Cotton humorously details the trials and tribulations of the players in an entertaining, informative and flowing style that is pleasurable to read. His interviews and insight on the inner workings of the management and origins of several mini tours is unique. I have read dozens of golf books and this is the first that explains the interests and business plans that motivate one to start and manage a mini tour. The author travels to many events and his travel log trapses cross country from Poduncville,Iowa to Nowhere Nebraska.His 2 day trip, jammed in the back of a packed car with the player and caddie in the front, and him fighting for space amoungst the food wrappers and hanging clothes in the back is particularly entertaining. This is a must read for any golf afficionado.
