Autobiography of triumphant Ryder Cup captain and great golfer, Colin Montgomerie.
Colin Montgomerie is a golfing legend. Ranked Europe's number one golfer for an unparalleled seven years in a row, he is equally renowned as a player of great passion. The son of a keen Scottish golfing family, Colin was already showing his prodigious talent as a small boy. After completing his education in America where he benefited from a golf scholarship, Colin turned professional in 1987, beginning a truly remarkable career. Even with over forty international tournament victories and eight European Order of Merit titles, Monty is best known for his amazing contributions to the European Ryder Cup team; eight times as a player and undefeated in singles, and most recently, as the victorious 2010 European Ryder Cup Captain.
Montgomerie's autobiography is the story of both a prodigious talent and complex personality who at forty-seven remains determined to add to his already impressive achievements. It is a book about one of the greatest golfing characters in the world trying to achieve the necessary personal and professional balance. And it is about the hero of the Ryder Cup - five times a winner, culminating in victory as team captain and the unforgettable scenes at Celtic Manor in October 2010.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
The story of both a prodigious talent and a complex personality. It is a book about one of the greatest golfing characters in the world trying to achieve the necessary personal and professional balance. * WOMEN & GOLF * I enjoyed the read immensely, especially as the book includes an intriguing question and answer chapter. This is a welcome addition as Monty gives us his views on subjects as diverse as the belly putter, golf in the 2016 Olympics and tips for winter golfers. * GOLF MAGIC.COM * Golfing legend Colin Montgomerie was Europe's top golfer for seven years in a row and his newly published autobiography, Monty, reveals what continues to drive Monty and the part his golfing family played in his successful career. * CHOICE * He offers some interesting thoughts about what the future might hold for him, admitting he's now targeting a 'Senior Grand Slam' after hinting not long ago that he might play very little over-50s golf when he becomes eligible in a year's time. * THE SCOTSMAN * Monty certainly has a lot to say, and this makes enjoyable reading * GOOD BOOK GUIDE * A good account which golf fanatics will get a lot out of. * SUNDAY BUSINESS POST MAGAZINE *
