Hank Haney, The Big Miss

[peterlav]

Recently finished this 'no holds barred' revelation.

My advice if your thinking of buying it.......don't bother!

A summary of 250 pages:
-Woods is very hard to understand, empathise with, and get along with
-Woods is obsessed with Military style training, and his injuries have been down to this
-Haney is the greatest swing coach ever

Nothing in the book of any substance, no insight into things we don't get to see, nothing that we didn't pretty much already know about Woods

I particularly enjoyed the last chapter. Look at the stats of how good a coach I am - statistically Wood's was a much better player with me than with Butch.

Couldn't agree with your review more, I though it was a very self-centered book.

The only point worth taking from the whole thing is to 'avoid the big miss' i.e a shot which wrecks your card. Which, to be honest, could have been summed up in a hell of a lot less pages.

From your reviews it looks like they got the title of the book correct.
