Goodreads asked Roger Anderson:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Roger Anderson I had written three previous sports books. Two were as a ghostwriter, the third a chronicle of Irish and Irish-American boxing. I was a late convert to golf and the book simply came about during one of my earliest forays on to the fairways. My mate Michael is to blame really. He just blurted out: "Why don't you write a book about learning to play by taking on all the best courses [here in Ireland]." I laughed at the time, then couldn't get the idea out of my head. It just sort of took on a life of its own after that and I ended up playing all over the Emerald Isle, and alongside the likes of Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell.
