"It is a happy mixture of his known
reporting skills, humour and a willingness to travel the world" The
Times
Ian Stafford has tried his hand at most
sports. And what's more, for his two previous books In Your Dreams and
Playground of the Gods, he's played them with the world's finest sports men.
From Steve Redgrave to Eddie Irvine, wrestler Pat Roach to the Wigan Warriors,
Kenyan athletes to Australian cricketers, Ian has suffered humiliation, pain
and a little bit of triumph with the best of them. He thought he'd seen it all.
Until he tried golf. Nothing could have prepared him for the sheer humiliation,
frustration and exhilaration of the world's most popular game. Never would he
have believed the obsession it generated, the passions it inflamed and the madmen
that could be found on the green. But, Ian being Ian, it wasn't enough to just
learn how to play the game. He decided he wanted a round with Tiger, Tiger
Woods - the greatest legend of them all. So with the help of stars, coaches and
amateurs alike - from Bill (Clinton), Colin (Montgomery) and Nick
(Faldo) to his local cab driver - he travels the world in the hope of improving
his game. But however good he gets, will he ever get to play a round with the
Tiger himself?
In Search of The Tiger - at long last, a golfing adventure with
a sense of humour.
