Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Storytelling is alive and well among golf professionals, and fortunately there is more than enough here of general interest. Don Wade gives us a moment of the past recaptured by compiling both sad reminiscences (Roberto de Vincenzo recording his scorecard incorrectly on the 17th hole at the Masters) and lots of hearty laughs by Seve Ballesteros, Chi Chi Rodriguez, and Will Rogers. Alhough they may strike some as a little dull, personal glimpses into the lives of the golf professionals emerge. Wade has done a remarkable job of selecting over 200 stories, but what is obviously missing here are stories about more women golfers. Only two are mentioned--Nancy Lopez and Babe Zaharias. The book provides a valuable service by bringing this together in one volume. Recommended for sports collections.

3.0 out of 5 stars
a fun read but lots of fluff,
By RLBNVa@sprintmail.com (virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: "And Then Arnie Told Chi Chi . . . " (Paperback)
The stories in this and the other similair books in the series are fun reads. Lots of short stories from the links and linksters. However, the book is stretched with pages of illustrations and wide margins obviously used to stretch the "length" of the book. Rather than a series of "four" books this material would be better served by one longer and better packaged book. I loved the material but felt cheated in the packaging. A reader of the series will also see frequent repetition of stories.

This review is from: "And Then Arnie Told Chi Chi . . . " (Paperback)
An only so-so account of PGA Tour players, events and locales through the ages. I thought there would be more meat on this bone, but the book left me unsatisfied, like an average restaurant that serves too small portions.
