Accessories such as CD, codes, toys, may not be included. This is the intimate and extraordinary story of a group of South African golfers who have won numerous Major championships. Their victories were achieved despite decades of sporting isolation and, during the post-apartheid era, in the shadow of possibly the greatest athlete of all time. It is a story of the power of the mind and the power of the body in this, the most fickle of all sports. It is a story of dramatic highs and lows, of desperate poverty and fabulous wealth. An essential read for all golf lovers. This is a story of plane, train and car crashes, psychosurgery, a lightning strike, a broken beer bottle, a caddie named Squeeky, a misplaced marker, a beautiful autistic boy and a scandal that ensnared the country's most famous sportsman and led to the resignation of a prime minister. Welcome to a rare glimpse into the extraordinary lives of South Africa's top golfers ... The book is based on interviews with the golfers, their family members, coaches and sports psychologists, among others, as well as extensive research.
