Summary: Honest and Interesting
Comment: Johnny bring honesty in his broadcasting and in this book. For those of us who love golf, it is interesting on its own merit. Johnny entertains us and those who follow golf occasionally for a major event or tournament. The book will not win him any more friends but he probably has enough. And let's keep bring the human element into the game through great insights and stories.
Rating: 5
Summary: delightful golf read
Comment: love it or leave it, miller puts forth well argued positions and analysis on a wide variety of topics: tiger versus jack, individual tour players -- both current and former, the rules of golf, pga tour requirements, golf instruction, golf courses and announcing.
just when you think he can't get any more candid or personal out pops another pointed passage about a specific individual. it's as close to a no-holds-barred discussion you can have with a golf insider, without actually having one. what really comes through is that miller loves the competitive side of golf and he sees the larger dimensions that surround it. his individual analyses of the players from his era (nicklaus, trevino, watson, player, etc) are especially good and you will come away with a strong sense of what competing against each one of them was like.
a real page-turner and definite must-read for fans of golf.
Rating: 4
Summary: Very entertaining, but a little bizarre.
Comment: This book is typical Johnny Miller - candid, slightly irreverent, and very entertaining. Oddly enough, however, it seems they forgot to proofread the manuscript. There are so many factual errors - it is mind boggling. For example, we learn from Johnny that Tiger Woods initiated the "Tiger Slam" by winning the 2001 British Open and PGA Championship, when in fact Tiger did not win either one of those tournaments. We also learn that Tiger is already married - Johnny refers to his girlfriend as "Ellin Woods, Tiger's new bride." This is bizarre stuff, and it happens throughout the book. There are many inconsistencies and typos. Yet all in all it is a worthwhile and interesting read - I would recommend it highly for all fans of the modern game.
