Amazon.co.uk Review
The Real Monty attempts to redress the balance between Colin Montgomerie's public image and the often forgotten fact that he's a hugely talented, hugely successful international sportsman. You know, that image--chin sunk into his ample bosom, face red with sulky frustration, bottom lip wobbling gently as he stalks off towards his next shot.
The Real Monty attempts to redress the balance between Colin Montgomerie's public image and the often forgotten fact that he's a hugely talented, hugely successful international sportsman. You know, that image--chin sunk into his ample bosom, face red with sulky frustration, bottom lip wobbling gently as he stalks off towards his next shot.
Written with journalist Lewine Mair, this is Monty's version of his rise to the top of the tree in European golf--a record-breaking seven-time Tour champion; a star performer in six Ryder Cups--and his struggle to punch his real weight in the US, or at Major level; the hecklers, the tantrums, the remorseless press, and the weight of expectation that has buoyed him up and threatened to drown him in turns.
It's all in the mind of course--spectators, journalists and the golfers themselves have become obsessed with mental strengths and failings, with winning the inner game--and Monty was marked out long ago as having lost crucial contests due to a suspect temperament.
The trouble with such analysis, which Monty is happy to corroborate with regard to specific occasions, is that it makes for such lush, easy media copy that reality can get lost in the long grass. Parts of this lavishly illustrated book find Monty hacking away at that rough, and it's not a pretty sight--but when the score-settling stops, this is a straightforward, open account of what it has been like to succeed and fail, both personally and professionally, on an epic scale, as Monty has done. --Alex Hankin
