5.0 out of 5 stars Teachers Note!, 15 May 1999
By A Customer
This is a wonderful book. Vold's sojourn to meet and capture the wisdom of these "true originals" is SO much fun, so illuminating. EVERY Teacher (of any subject) would not only enjoy this book, but would derive "tips" -- more like insights -- adaptable to any student. And there's a philosophical component that's heroic. Like a book full of Babe Didriksons or Amelia Earharts or Kate Hepburns... What a way to start the Golf Season!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful collection of earthy stories by golf's originals, 21 Aug 1999
By A Customer
For those of you who have just begun playing golf and for those of you have already become addicted to the sport, this book is for you. Vold makes women golf legends like Kathy Whitworth come alive with the stories of the hardships and fun of the originators of the LPGA. But this is not just a book of stories. There are valuable, common sense tips that you can use today. (although don't try to use them all at once...you'll go crazy) I will treasure this book and will make it the centerpiece of my growing golf book collection. Read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book made me want to take over the greens of life., 1 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I am speechless, what can I say about these outstanding stories. When reading this book Mona helped me feel apart of each chapter, almost as if I where right there with her. The interveiws were increadable, no details were left out. I especially enjoed the Wiffi Smith segment.Different Strokes has something for everyone, woman, child, and even man. Simply inspiring.
