If you are a golfer and haven't read this book, I certainly recommend to you to do so because
I find the book so entertaining and enjoyable that I did not want to drop it until the last page.
I was aware of this book when Annie passed away, but never got around getting it until
now when my daughter sent it to me on my birthday.
I've read a few books on golf over many years but this one tops.
Arnie is indeed a great champion not only in golf but also in life and
has a lot to tell us and teach us not only about golf game but also about life in general.

I would not recommend the book.
Arnold must be in a desperate need of some extra cash.
Despite such superlative adjectives to describe himself, he was well known to be a bully
to the less-known, less-successful PGA players and country clubs.
I guess, he calls himself a hero. That is sickening to me.
So, obviously, he played his life "extremely well" at the expense of his friends and hero-worshippers.
In a similar way, some say that the great Jack Niklaus was nothing but a money monger.
Please don't believe too much in this kind of self-propaganda by a so-called hero.
I will read it sometime this year. Now, I am reading “Pachinko” written by
이민진. It is the story about Korean family emigrated to Japan. It covers from
1910 to 1989. It is written in English, but She wrote it in a way that I can feel
it just like Koreans talking.
‘History has failed us, but no matter.” How does the opening line reflect the rest of the book-
do you agree? ...from reading group guide
However, what really moved me to write this novel and to rewrite it so many times were the compelling
strories of individuals who struggled to face historical catastrophes.
