Fantastic!
What an amazing read. This is researched so well and adds to the works of Sampson and Gregston. I can't recommend this highly enough. It takes you through the dramas of Hogans childhood, the struggles of his early career, to the highs, the accident and amazing comeback and beyond. It is absolutely engrossing. You will not want to put it down and the only dissapointment you will experience is when it is over.

Comprehensive account of the great man
Everything you every wanted to know about Hogan...and then some more. This is a very detailed and enlightening account, but it doesn't have the page turning magic of any of Mark Frost's books, and as such doesn't merit the 5 stars. As a golfer, you need to read this book, because its an epic story of talent overcoming self doubt, and an endorsement of what hard work and application can achieve. Like the Mark Frost book on Bobby Jones, the best parts are the non golfing ones : Hogan's return to greatness after a near death car crash are truely inspiring and will bring a tear to your eye. Its almost hard to comprehend the motivation that got a near paraylised Hogan out of a hospital bed and onto a golf course, and then to win so often again. Truely inspiring. Again, a book not just for golfers but anyone who wants to understand what makes great sportmen.
