In Praise of Ian Stafford: "A man who will plainly go to any lengths to pursue his dream."--"Esquire" "The stories throb with reporting much as his body throbbed with pain. Stafford is an accomplished writer."--"The Times" "Stafford uses his wit and self-deprecating humor to convey his thrill of victory and his agony of defeat."--"Sky Magazine" While trying every sport under the sun, playing with only the best, and pushing himself to the limit, never once did acclaimed sports journalist Ian Stafford think that the sport of golf was suited for him. It just wasn't his kind of game--or so he thought. But that was only in the beginning, before he picked up his first club or met Nick Faldo, Ernie Els, Jack Nicklaus, and Bernhard Langer and traveled to Greenland, Prague, New Orleans, and Tokyo. This was still way before he'd begun to think that he might actually be good at this golf business, and long before he'd toyed with the crazy idea of coming face-to-face with the Tiger. Join Ian Stafford on his journey into the wonderful world of golf--a sport that has become a global epidemic--as he comes to an understanding of the attraction to the course that no true golfer can ignore. With humor and excitement, he embarks on this thoroughly enjoyable quest to find the golfer within us all. Whether you are already dedicated and fully consumed by golf, or have yet to feel the allure of the green--this book is for you.
