1.0 out of 5 stars Sycophantic and fawning. I can't believe I wasted my money., December 21, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Arnie: Inside the Legend (Paperback)
This book purports to be an objective account of the great Arnold Palmer's life and times on the professional golf tour. What it actually is, is a collection of hashed over insider non-jokes collected by a long time Palmer camp follower. There is very little meat on this bone.

The writing style is simplistic and repetitive. The author takes 3 or 4 pages to describe, for example, Arnie's 50th birthday party which was a homestyle affair at which a country and western musician played for some of his close friends and neighbors while Palmer fielded congratulatory phone calls.

An entire chapter is devoted to backhanding Palmer's great rival, Jack Nicklaus. It seems petty and unnecessary. I couldn't finish the book, maybe it gets better after the 4th chapter.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dont' Waste Your Money, December 30, 2000
This review is from: Arnie: Inside the Legend (Paperback)
Larry Guest wasted his time writing this book, and you'll be wasting your time AND your money if you're foolish enough to buy a copy. This work is nothing more than a bunch of over-used annecdotes delivered up by a former Palmer groupie. It is not well researched, and it adds nothing to the current literature on Arnold Palmer. The writing is second-rate.
