 A Hole in One for Cullen October 18, 2001
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really thought this was a great book. True, as some reviewers have noted, the plot itself is a little predictable, though well constructed. But the value is not in where you go, but in how you get there. This book has so much insight into the game of golf and the world of professional golf that it more than makes up for any picky plot shots. I enjoyed it thoroughly, great character development as well. I put it ahead of the Dan Jenkins book by about 325 yards.
One of the best!!!! September 24, 2001

In the title for this review I indicate this book is one of the best and I don't mean as a book about golf, although it is certainly that. This is about so much more. It's about life, meeting challanges, dealing with adversity, and personal relationships, all wrapped up in a very interesting story about a professional golfer who after being blinded in a freak accident, finds that, with the help of others, especially his long suffering caddie, that he can again play the game and contend on the PGA Tour. How all of that happens is, of course, what the book is all about. It is funny, charming, inspiring and best of all, a wonderful story. Whether you play golf or not, you will find yourself captivated by this book.
 Very Nice September 23, 2001

I picked up this book because I knew that Mr. Cullen had assisted Bob Rotella with writing his golf psychology books and wanted to see if Mr. Cullen's fiction was as clearly written. It was, and I found the writing to be extremely enjoyable. I also liked both the characters and the premise of the book. In watching Bobby Jobe struggle to regain his game after losing his sight and finding that he can succeed only when he allows himself to rely upon others, I was reminded that it is not a sign of weakness to ask others for help, but a sign of strength.
Lots of Plots, Both Golfing and LIving Going On August 14, 2001
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a well written work with many plots occuring simulataneously: earthquakes and lightning strikes, schizoprhenia and egos and oh, yes, golf.Cullen weaves all of this is into a readable, enjoyable romp through a comeback pro who becomes the agent for change for the Tour, for his caddie, for a family and for his therpaist. This ends in unpredicable ending, but some of it you just knew from the start it had to end happy as it eventually turns out. The plot keeps you going, with its subtle twists and turns. Knowing there are more pages keeps you reading because you know it can't end like this. Put it in the category with Flatbellies and The Green.
No "Mullicants" needed with this story... July 20, 2001
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is extremely well written and provides amazingly vivid descriptions allowing the reader to picture everything in their mind. Whether you are an avid golfer or the weekend hacker, this story will keep you entertained from beginning to end. It touches your golfing funny bone and is a compelling HUMAN story as well.Not just for golfers, it is for fathers, sons, mothers, girlfriends and anyone else who can pick up a book and read. The book reminds you that sometimes you can take a mulligan in life and get things right eventually! It will make you laugh, cheer, get angry, maybe even bring a tear to your eye...and will definitely make you want to hit the links!
