Poorly written. On the very first page of text the author refers to golf as being a "right of passage" in Scotland instead of a rite of passage. I can't believe the book was ghost-written and edited; it's such a pastiche of anecdotes, asides, and cobbled together phrases--an embarrassment, really. The only redeeming feature of the book are the golf tips for women. The book is only worth a browse, not a borrow or buy.

Hey it ain't Shakespeare people. It's a good book though. Ms. Ladd shares her love for game of golf and some great stories about the many Pro-Am tournaments she's been in. She shares some helpful hints on how to make your game better and some lovely stories about her travels to Scotland (her husband's Scottish you know) to play the beautiful courses there. I recommend you ready this book if you are a fan of Cheryl or your just learning the game.

Thinking of taking up golf. A fun read to see what it’s like for an amateur out on the course.
