Pretty poor. It's about 10% golf and 90% greg's business dealings. I
could find no mention of Tiger in the entire book. And he's not
listed in the index.
Greg says jumbo ozaki is a big cheater.
On page 143 is this quote - "What makes golf so thrilling is not so
much the wins as the losses". Ever hear tiger or jack say anything
like that?

Dunno, there are a lot of reasons for that disaster - and Monty never has to

Ya think maybe cause tiger didn't even exist when hogan wrote his book???
HAHAHAHA. Anyway, part of the reason i read greg's book was to see what
greg thought about tiger and then he doesn't say a word about him!!!!!! I
thing greg is kinda jealous. He had been the biggest draw in golf for 10-
15 years till tiger came along and then overnight greg became a nobody.

Which, ironically, is exactly what Laura Norman said about Greg the
day she was showing the ladies of her garden club around the Norman
compound and caught Greg in the boat house pumping the pool girl.

If you can distinguish between the man and the golfer I have to say
that in his hayday he was very exciting to watch. He was always in the

Greg had everything. Maybe the greatest ball-striker of all time and also
good from 100 yards in.

Greg is probably the most disappointing talent ever on the PGA tour. Not to
mention probably the biggest choker of them all.
As little respect as 'journeyman' Scott Hoch got back in those days, I'd put
my money on Scott everytime in a head-to-head match with 'The Shark'.

Greg won 70 or so pro events in his career.!!! People criticise him
for "only" winning two majors but he's an international player and you
can't judge them by majors. I don't really like greg but he was a great
great golfer. I'd prolly put him 4th on my all-time list after Sam, tiger,
and jack.

In a way. Colin is a great golfer and his lack of major victories should
not be held against him. Same is true of sergio even though i hate the

approached Gregg for an autograph, supposidly he pushed the kid away &

I was at the German Open in 1991, mainly because Tom Watson played
that year and I wanted to see his game (he could strike a golf ball,
by the way). Also playing the tournament that year was Hale Irwin,
and Seve Ballesteros. Both Irwin and Ballesteros were pushing kids out
of the way who were seeking autographs from them. This was after
their repsective rounds were over and they were heading toward the
clubhouse. Neither one of them played particularly well, so that may
have had something to do with their attitudes (I almost got beaned by
a wayward shot that Ballesteros hit OB), but that did not justify it
in my mind.
That year, Watson played the first two rounds with Bernhard Langer
and an up and coming player whom I had never heard of. Later in the
day, this player was on the putting green and I watched him for
awhile. We got in to some conversation and I made a comment to him
that it must have been tough playing with two ofgolf's biggest names.
Turned out, he shot very respectable 3 under par that day. He also
went on to represent Europe in the Ryder Cup. His name is Per-Ulrik
Johansson. We talked for about 30 minutes and he told me that he
played collegiate golf at Arizona State (played on the same team as
Phil Mickelson). He was a very pleasant person.
Tom Watson was the best, however. After his round and he had time
to wind down, he went to an autograph area and signed his autograph
for everyone who wanted one. He must have been there for 1 1/2 hours.
Chatting it up with him was very cool and after seeing how Irwin and
Ballesteros treated their fans, was a real fresh of breath air.

I've only talked to 3 pros, except for the not famous guy I caddied for in
the 60s, Randy Glover. He was pleasant and generous. One of my borthers
played with John Daly in a pro am and I waled a few holes. John came up
talked to me. He really is friendly, the most easy going and interested in
people. Lee Jansen was pleasant too. I liked him better after talking a
couple of seconds on a tee in at a pro am in Phoenix. Michelsen was just as
nice. Actually, none of the guys who my pro played with in the 60s were
dicks, all pretty friendly. I guess I was lucky.
