Reviews

[Todd]

A light, fairly entertaining collection of stories and anecdotes from Trevino's time in golf. Essentially a book version of him holding court after a round at the golf course telling his favorite tales and laughing over drinks.

[Rick]

An enjoyable book of anecdotes about himself, other pros, courses, and dignitaries.
