The Majors Golf Audio Tape: Golf Audio by John FeinsteinThe four tournaments known as the majors: the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open and the PGA Championship, are the absolute pinnacle of golf. They are competitions played at a level of pressure guaranteed to give even the greatest golfers the shakes. The 1998 majors were no exception. They produced indelible moments: Mark O?Meara capturing two titles and making a strong run at a third, Lee Janzen having his lost ball drop out of a tree at the U.S. Open and Brian Watts making an amazing bunker shot on the final hole of the British Open. For each of these cinematic moments, there are hundreds more that are equally powerful but virtually unknown. In The Majors audio cassette, John Feinstein, best selling sports writer and author of A Good Walk Spoiled, accompanies a dozen top golfers as they play these tournaments. He reveals what it is that makes them so demanding and what it takes to win such exalted prizes. The Majors audio cassette shows us the greatest golfers of our time under the greatest pressure they ever experience. It tells how Payne Stewart manages to sleep when he has the lead at the U.S. Open, how Mark O?Meara paces himself for a masterful Sunday, how John Daly deals with frustration and maintains his sobriety. It takes us onto the courses and into the back rooms to show us how decisions are made on what players will be paired together and where the holes will be placed on different days. Just as he explored the daily demands of a year on tour in A Good Walk Spoiled, Feinstein here reveals how champions get their putters back when the championship is on the line. Two cassettes. |
