Customer Reviews

AWESOME!!

Tim is the best golf reviewer in the WORLD! This is seriously a MUST READ book! I promise that you will love anything that Tim writes!

It was a heartbreak for the golfers and their fans

Tim does a great job in reporting this account, although maybe he takes too much out on Captain's choices. Golfers understand momentum and what kind of game you have on a particular day. To say that this exciting account which particularly focuses on the singles matches and those final nervewracking shots is "mundane" does not resound to a golfer reading this book.

Heartbreak Hill, a book for fans of all ages

I have just recently finished the book Heartbreak Hill and I found it to be entertaining but also interesting at the same time. I must disagree with the Kirkus Review. This book clearly states all the information that you need in a clear form. There is not confusion. I find the analogies in this book good due to the fact that it adds some unexpected humor to this book. Although I am a golfer, I did not clearly understand the Rider Cup until I read this book. It explained a brief history of the golfers and how they fared that year. It also explains how this is the single most important golf tournament of the year and also gives a brief history on that. Whether you are a huge golfing fan or a person who just wants to read an entertaining book, I recommend that you read Heartbreak Hill.
