MUST READ FOR ALL GOLF FANATICS

A great, great read. A real pleasant change from autobiographies and coaching manuals. Tom's year as a professional is a real emotional rollercoaster and the caracters in Tom's book relate to people in golf clubs the length and bredth of the UK. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I'm glad somebody did it for me, so I didn't have to!

A hugely enjoying and highly entertaining read from start to finish.
Once Tom got my interest in the opening pages of the book, my interest only intensified as I got further and further into the book. The anticipation of seeing what new mini disaster he could get himself into, coupled with the slight glimmer of hope that there would be some success for him towards the end, just meant that I couldn't put the thing down. Quite literally read in a day!
There is some success for him in the end, although not quite in the way you expect. I guess ultimately the real success to come from Tom's experiment is this brilliantly witty and self deprecating warts and all account of his trials and tribulations throughout his year of swinging with the big boys.
This comes highly recommended.

Great Golfing read!

A very funny and honest account of another bite at the pro circuit cherry! If you like golf, or even if you don't you will enjoy this book. The ups and downs of the human emotions are all here and it was a pleasure to read. A must for the bedside table or plane or swimming pool!

Great title - dull read
|
|
The Best thing about this book is its title. A dull read from start to finish and provides little insight other than in to the degree of naivety of its author about tournament golf.

Funniest golfing book ever read
|
Just finished "Bring me the head...." To use the authors golfing parlance - I p...ed myself laughing at a tale of heartbreak and misery. With profanities ringing in my ears, the descriptions of shanks, chypps and the mind numbing 86's reminded me of so many "character building" events I have put myself through in over thirty years of playing the great game of golf. Congratulations on what for me has been the funniest read in years.
