Christina
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is a wonderful insight into Womens Professional Golf. Christina offers her experiences with humor and she gives a great look into the stress these young women face in competition. If you would like to learn about the womens tour I would highly recommend this book. IF you want to learn about a most interesting young woman who has experienced a lifetime of challenges in her years on tour.
Non Golfer with Daughter and Husband who Golf LOVES this book!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
What great insight into this world - and fun to read, even for the non golfer. My golf addicted husband bought this for my 12 year old daughter who is a great golfer, but was advised to have parent read it first. She won't read it for a long time, but I absolutely LOVED this book and LOVE Christina. Even though I don't golf, I felt all the drama of the ups and downs in this book and loved the emotional perspective. I will be watching Christina and will recommend this book to many...Thanks..
Great Read. very poignant and honest

Was never a fan of Christina Kim and in fact, found her extremely annoying. This book doesn't entirely change my perception of her being annoying but I've definitely become a fan. Never before has a book on a current (not retired) professional athelete been so honest and poignant in the athlete's struggles with life and career. Her honesty is freshing and at times endearing. The vulnerability that Christina Kim expresses will make anyone that reads this book a devout fan. Go Christina!!!!!
Not as in-depth as I thought.

Christina is definitely a personality, and Alan has a great writing style. I enjoyed this book, but I found that when it was over I wanted more. It certainly wasn't a tell-all, even though some "punches" were thrown, they were "full force". Enjoyable, and worth the read, but "gimme more!"
I'd be Christina's looper any day...

..and I really mean it. If you have even the slightest interest in ladies professional golf you need to read this book. Christina Kim provides a true insiders view of the LPGA. Her funny yet frank "confessions" confirmed a lot of what I thought, debunked a couple myths and yes, taught me a couple things I didn't know or think about. Her personal assessment of several women pros might surprise some folks. No spoilers here folks - buy the book! This is a tough book to put down once you start. I pre-ordered it, got it today and just finished it. It's a quick and entertaining read you won't want to put down. About the looper thing - seriously - I would do it any day for Christina Kim for free (call me Christina!).
