Wally Armstrong (Author), Ken Blanchard (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 3, 2007

Everyone Needs a Second Chance on the Course and In Life

Paul McAllister was a driven man. Ivy League educated and the founder of a multimillion dollar business, Paul was a success in everything but life-and golf. It only took one Pro-Am afternoon, one short putt, and one airborne putter to send his world flying in a different direction: a mulligan!

Golf's gracious do-over, a mulligan is the beginning of Paul's own second chance. Guided by the wisdom and advice of an Old Pro, Paul learns about priorities, about self-confidence, and about playing a good game both on and off the course.

Written in the appealing "parable" style of other best-selling books such as Who Moved My Cheese?, Gungo Ho! , and Whale Done! , golf pro Wally Armstrong and author Ken Blanchard condense decades of practical know-how into a simple book with an amazing message.

The Mulligan is a second chance to change it all, and improve both your life and your game!

A wonderful little book about life and golf. A little bit corny (in a nice way, I thought) and some people may be turned off by the distinctly Christian message, but I loved this book. Nice messages about relationships, forgiveness, priorities - and also about golf...and about not taking it too seriously! I'd highly recommend it. Special!

This review is from: The Mulligan: A Parable of Second Chances (Hardcover)

I only wish I had read this book 10 years ago when my son first started playing golf. As a Christian, this book would have given insights on how to teach about life as we played the game of golf. Now, this book can act as a great gift for someone who needs to learn more about the true meaning of life or for someone you would like to restore your relationship with. How can they refuse your request for a mulligan?
Great read; Great message; Don't pick it up unless you allow time to read the entire book. You will not be able to put it down!

It's amazing how much the gentleman-ly principals of golf apply to our day to day lives. If you're a golf fan, you'll love this book.
