Product Description
Book Description
The long-awaited autobiography of one of golf's all-time greats --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Synopsis
Bernhard Langer is considered by many to be one of the best-known - certainly the most consistent and resilient - golf professionals playing in the modern game. He has hovered in the upper echelons of the game for over 20 years, and since 1980, he has only once been outside the top 30 in the Volvo Order of Merit. His story is one of conquering adversity. Despite growing up in a country where golf is a minority sport, he rose to become World Number One. Within that rise he had also famously struggled to overcome "yips" - putting problems that dogged his career. A devout Christian he formed and helps run The European Tour Bible Class.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unexciting, but a great tale of the man's life, 21 Jan 2003
Although he's been at the top of the game for 20 years, Bernhard Langer has remained a somewhat enigmatic character until now.
His story is one of conquering adversity in a country where golf was very much a minority sport. Indeed, in the 60s when Langer told a careers advisor of his intended path he was told: 'There is no such job as a golf professional.'
Bernhard Langer: My Autobiography covers the former world number one's rise to the top of his game, his overcoming of the dreaded 'yips', his hatred of partisan crowds and his deep religious beliefs that continue to inspire him.
Through this simply written book, we see that Langer is a true sportsman in every sense - never in it for the money and never looking to win off other's mistakes.
Occasionally there are one or two moments when the book needlessly explains the obvious (surely no golf fan needs to be told what a birdie or a bogey is), but that's a very minor gripe.
Golf autobiographies are rarely rivetting, but fans of the genial German will find much to enjoy, including some sensational photos from his early career.
It's refreshing to see someone release their life story in a way that is not surrounded by controversy and at an appropriate stage in their career. Langer's story is not about cashing in on his successes and that makes it all the more worthwhile.
