1-0 out of 5 stars Waste of paper.
15 minutes of superficial research---that's all this little book is. It could have been a good book had the publisher dug deeper to come up with true little-known gems about Tiger. Anybody could have come up with this content by downloading three or four bios or wire-service stories about Woods and then cutting and pasting. The result is a piece of junk masquerading as merchandise.

Editorial Review

Most of life's searches tend to be more fascinating than their destinations; the quest for entry into the exclusive club made up of the best competitive golfers in the world is no exception. Every golfer faces doubt and despair--they are as much a part of the game as woods and irons. But there is something just that much more doubtful and despairing about the game for those for whom the flag is just a tantalizing, agonizing, wedge away. Paulson, a former All-American at South Carolina, has shuttled between the rarefied air of the PGA Tour and the terrifying trenches of Q-School, and he recounts his journey--the small triumphs like shooting a 62 at the 1995 Disney Golf Classic, the frustrating heartbreaks, and all those nights along the way in cheap motels wondering if it's actually worth it--with candor and equanimity. Time, he knows, is running out on him. "I have always been fortunate," he admits, "that I have never been obsessed with making it to the very top. I have always focused on making the transition to the next level." Interestingly, it's his very level-headedness that may, in the end, keep him a few club-lengths from hitting his dream in regulation. Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Some great insights, but monotonous at times
Paulson's book is a wonderful example of life on tour; however, there are too many shot-by-shot (blow-by-blow?) descriptions of individual tournaments.I found interesting Paulson's description of the differences between the mini tours and the big time (notably pressure, casualness of players, social interaction) and I enjoyed his descriptions of his first year on the tour.Unfortunately, after he failed to keep his card after his first year, the story becomes the same, albeit much more knowledge gained for our hero.I guess I was expecting more description about what life held for him out there that first year, not play-by-play.Overall, I enjoyed the book because it is easy reading and thoroughly enjoyable, but (much like Tracy Stewart's book about her late, great husband), simply written.For a much better read on getting on the tour and keeping your card, I recommend Q School Confidential, by David Gould.

4-0 out of 5 stars Living a Virtual Rookie PGA Tour Year
This is a good golf book.Unassuming, hardworking golfer who until I read this book, I hadn't heard of.Selected this book on a whim, but really enjoyed it.Believe all golfers would, as it shows what it's like to be a golfer of Carl's caliber and how competitive it really is out there.The narrowness at the top, and how illusive it is to stay there.

4-0 out of 5 stars Do you Really Wish you could Join the PGA Tour?
I thought it was a great book.It answered so many questions I have always wondered about.How do you really get on the Tour?How do you stay there?What kind of perks are offered to pro golfers?What is the insidelife really like? If you play good golf and have always toyed with thoughtsof trying to play professionally, this book is for you. Paulson providesthose answers plus his own personal experiences in actually doing it all. Great reading.I wish he would write a sequel. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A Real Insider Look at Golf
In Elegy for a Golf Pro, Dexter Westrum presents an evocative look inside a sport enjoyed by many and understood by few. Golf is more than a game for these characters, it is life. Through his characters we see the small town life of a golf pro who always reaches for something more but never quite gets his hands on it. The son, following in his father's footsteps, never feels like he measures up.This is a literary sports novel with universal appeal and a truly moving ending. ... Read more
