At The Turn (Hardcover Book) by Steve Eubanks

When Steve Eubanks began to write the book At the Turn, he always thought of the professional golfers as any other group of working professionals, not much different from the NFL or NBA. During the time of researching and writing this book his opinion changed, By the standards of today's modern athlete, professional golfers are not normal: they are extraordinary. In two-and-a-half astonishing years, professional golf was reborn. Formerly dismissed as an elite, white, middle-aged, rich man's game, golf has rocketed into the mainstream to become a multicultural, multibillion-dollar sport, with young, hotshot athlete to rival those in the NBA and to win the hearts of networks and merchandisers everywhere. This is the true story of a game's seemingly miraculous transformation of pro golf. With detailed coverage of the rising of David Duval, Sergio Garcia, and of course, Tiger Woods, Steve Eubanks grips you with backbiting and chaos at the British Open, along with backstage power struggles at the PGA, and the tragic death of Payne Stewart. At the Turn is a must read for any fan of golf, and any fan of sports in general. (278 Pages)
