I don't understand why this book is so hard to find. I read about it somewhere and tried several major bookstores and they didn't even have it in their computer. I was starting to think there was something wrong with it. Instead I found it at Amazon and found it to be a really good book. It covered so many different aspects of golf and the players and really told all sides of a number of issures. It seemed fair and unbiased and the author was willing to state what she objectively observed and that which she just felt. I would like to know how the players feel about it and whether they think it was accurate - or did any of them read it?

The author of this book spent more than 15 years compiling this book, doing interviews with players who were successful and not so successful on the LPGA from the 1940's through the 1990's. I've followed women's pro golf since the mid-seventies and have been curious about those women's lives. If you're a hardcore fan of the LPGA, you have to buy this book. If you are interested in the life of the career woman athlete, you should read this book. Some of the women are very articulate and honest about their lives and what it cost them to pursue a life in women's professional golf

I saw it at a friend's house and also had a hard time finding it. Thank you Amazon.com. Well worth reading and enjoying. Good book for the golfer and their library.
