This review is from: Links: An Exploration into the Mind, Heart, and Soul of Golf (Hardcover)

Greg Norman said of this book just that: "this is one of the few writers who understands golf as pros see it"

I found this to be true about the read. From working with a caddy to the travel to the pressure to find their swing, this book does a great job.

Worth the effort to find and read.
