Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Golf Tips
Review: I've always admired Hale Irwin and regarded him as the smartest golfer. He golfs more with his brain than anyone else on the PGA or Senior PGA Tour. And I think its great that he shares all his wisdom with his readers in this book. I find it extremely helpful and sometimes read bits and pieces in the cart between holes! This book also has become this year's birthday gift for ALL my gofing buddies. The only one who hates this book is my wife because now, not only am I playing golf all day, I'm reading about golf the rest of the time!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This book lacks meaningful content.
Review: This book brings absolutely nothing to the party. Topics on equipment, diet, and preparation are shallow and useless. Irwin's tale of walking through his final round at Riviera in the 1998 Senior Open is not only dull, but it is an incredibly poor way to teach the anatomy of a smart round of golf. Irwin fails to dig down and give the reader something they can really use. I honestly cannot think of one positive comment that I could make about this book. The authors should be embarrassed.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Full of smart tips
Review: This is not a book about your golf swing. It's about preparation (tools, diet and nutrition, practice, knowing the rules etc.) and strategies.

I think Hale Irwin honestly wrote everything he knows/does. I was impressed especially about quality of practice, swing thoughts and his course management.

This book is not filled with eagles or double eagles but good birdies like Hale Irwin's golf. (I know he won at Nationwide Championship '99 with an eagle, though)
