Oh dear.
I wanted to like Ian and this book much more than I did. Aside from the early chapter on the death of his cousin, this book is repetitive, merely skims the surface and doesn't offer a great deal of depth sadly; golf talent doesn't translate to literary talent. Sentences starting 'Look,..' began to grate by the halfway mark too.
Badly written and badly in need of editing; unfortunately he comes across as having a chip on his shoulder and unable to handle criticism for the most part, often ...more

This was a much better read than i thought it would be. The main interesting parts are the route in which he took to become a professional golfer and obviously his Ryder Cup heroics.
Interesting biography and good golf stories! But don't expect literary expertise. Gives you a good insight into parts of of a professional golfers life.
Why do I always get suckered into reading these bad books by athletes?

Ian Poulter is a great golfer. If you say he isn’t, you don’t know what you’re talking about unless you can prove to anyone that you’ve consistently beat him. That doesn’t mean I’m a fan of his, it means I have great respect for his ability and competitive tenacity, certainly in Ryder Cup situations.
Having said that, he should perhaps work on his putting and stay away from writing. I looked forward to this book but couldn’t get past the Kindle sample.

Worth a read if you are a golf fan. Ian's unique perspective on Ryder Cup is interesting. Persistence and perseverance are Ian's biggest attributes and he maximizes them along with a big dose of self belief to forge a career on the PGA Tour. Not everyone likes his style but you can't help but respect how well he has done after turning pro with a 4 handicap.
Poulter is not a literary genius but he has an inspirational story, one that is very intriguing and demonstrates how he became the character he is now.
