John Hoskison dreams of making it as a successful pro on the European PGA Golf Tour. When he meets Seve Ballesteros for the first time and makes the cut in the Martini International, he looks set for success. Then reality kicks in at Royal Birkdale in the PGA Championships.
This is a true story of how someone has to deal with life's ups and downs.
With confidence in tatters John Hoskison sets out on a quest to find a golf swing that will work and stand the ultimate test of playing in The Open. But there are no psychologists or coaches to help. Like the rest of the young pros, he has to find the solution himself—and no stone is left unturned.
From trying crazy superstitions to simply copying the top players like Tom Watson and Nick Faldo, this book shows the difference between the modern day tour pro and the young men who went onto tour with blindfolds on.
The account of John Hoskison's life on tour is funny, sad and brutally honest. This book will be a fascinating read for any keen golfer or sportsman and the sting in the tail will surprise everyone who reads it.
