5.0 out of 5 stars The painfully funny truth of life on the pro-tour, 5 Nov 2007
By Caroline Morris (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bring Me the Head of Sergio Garcia (Paperback)
`Bring Me The Head of Sergio Garcia!' by Tom Cox. ISBN: 978-0-224-07860-3
Only the naive are foolish enough to think that pro golf is `the ultimate lifestyle.' The sacrificing of `normal human activities' to endless hours of practice, travel, sombre nights alone and tunnel vision, is no fun. Heartache over missed putts is far more common than fortune and glory. To get to the top you have to be born gifted, take the game up very young, practice incredibly hard and allow absolutely nothing to stand in your way. When Tom Cox decided to try his luck on the `third division' EuroPro Tour his life degenerated into the sub-title, My Year of Swinging Dangerously On The Pro Golf Tour.
Cox, who also wrote the extremely funny, irreverant golf spoof, Nice Jumper, has hit top writing form again. His insights are both cruel and hilarious. This book won't teach you how to be a successful pro but it does explain the harsh realities from a self-deprecatingly painful and amusing perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Tom Cox Masterpiece!!, 22 Oct 2007
By A. Seibert - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bring Me the Head of Sergio Garcia (Paperback)
Tom Cox, as always, has provided a fun read about his year out as a professional golfer. He discusses the thoughts, the fears, his impressions, and all in an easy read and one that will keep you entertained from cover to cover. This is the second of Tom's books I have read and it will certainly not be the last. Anyone who is a fan of golf, curious about the life of a professional, or wonders what goes through the head of an out-of-place person, you will love this book. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. Cheers!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest golfing book ever read, 3 Jan 2008
By E. Cockroft (Bingley) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bring Me the Head of Sergio Garcia (Paperback)
Just finished "Bring me the head...." To use the authors golfing parlance - I p...ed myself laughing at a tale of heartbreak and misery. With profanities ringing in my ears, the descriptions of shanks, chypps and the mind numbing 86's reminded me of so many "character building" events I have put myself through in over thirty years of playing the great game of golf. Congratulations on what for me has been the funniest read in years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr A. Allwright. Philistine. My advice - A MUST BUY.
Mr Allwright seems to have missed the point in its entirety (see his (weak) amazon review). He is clearly a (golfing, humour, general) philistine. Read more
