About This Item
New York: William Morrow and Company, 1990. First Edition. First Printing. very good, good. 317, illus., index, black dot on top edge, DJ somewhat worn and soiled: small edge chips. An expose of the PGA tour: the people, the traditions, the business of American golf as never seen before. For the TV viewer, a PGA event means whispering announcers, manicured greens, and controlled applause from a polite gallery. In fact, though, a PGA event is clash of monumental egos, a race for huge stakes, with a gutsy and colorful host of megastars. Wartman followed the Professional Golfers' Association tour through every step. He here presents a lively account of that adventure, focusing on "player of the year" Curtis Strange, who evidently fought an uphill battle against his hot temper, and Aussie Greg Norman, depicted as a charismatic showman always ready to play to his fans. Also felt on the tourwas the presence of Jack Nicklaus.
