    About this audiobook

    Alex Myers is a triple-threat athlete - great at football, basketball, and baseball. But he'll have to fight for a spot on the varsity team. Alex is a quarterback, but from the first day of football practice, it's clear that that position is very much filled by the coach's son, Matt. Alex finally gets a chance to show what he can do when Matt is injured, and he helps win a key game to keep the Lions' bid for the state championship alive.

    But just when his star is rising, Alex gets blindsided - the state has started drug testing, and Alex's test comes back positive for steroids. Alex knows that's not right. But he doesn't know if it's a mistake - or if someone wants to make sure he can't play...

      John Feinstein captures the world of professional golf as it has never been captured before. Traveling with the golfers on the PGA Tour, he gets inside the heads of the games greatest players as well as its struggling wannabes. IN golf, Feinstein eloquently relates, the line that separates triumph from disappointment is incredibly fine. "One week you've discovered the secret of the game; the next week you never want to play it again."

      This is the 1st book I've ever read that made golf interesting and made me consider taking it up. It chronicles the almost soap opera events in a year of the US PGA tour.It is brilliantly written and made me seek out other works from the author .

      One of the best books about the PGA tour. Even if you are not a fan this is a good read.

      I loved the golf commentary, especially when Feinstein covered the majors, Q-school, and the Ryder Cup. The book drags quite a bit otherwise. I lost interest in a lot of the "off the course" stuff. This almost seemed like two different books, one fascinating and one dull.

      Which is more nerve wracking: to have a putt to win a major and hundreds of thousands of dollars or to stay in a job and be able to support your family in the only way you know how? That rare thing - a great sports book.
    • 5/5
      I think this is the first of many Feinstein books that I have in my library, and I have come to believe that Feinstein is the best sports writer in the history of sports writing. Feinstein can make the most common details seem engaging. More importantly, he paints pictures of athletes not as idols or Gods, but as real people, with all the flaws and virtues than any of us have. This book is especially good in helping folks to better understand the turmoil that is the PGA Tour, and the pressures that these athletes have to deal with in trying to make a living at this frustrating game.
