Summary: Some great insights, but monotonous at times
Comment: Paulson's book is a wonderful example of life on tour; however, there are too many shot-by-shot (blow-by-blow?) descriptions of individual tournaments. I found interesting Paulson's description of the differences between the mini tours and the big time (notably pressure, casualness of players, social interaction) and I enjoyed his descriptions of his first year on the tour. Unfortunately, after he failed to keep his card after his first year, the story becomes the same, albeit much more knowledge gained for our hero. I guess I was expecting more description about what life held for him out there that first year, not play-by-play. Overall, I enjoyed the book because it is easy reading and thoroughly enjoyable, but (much like Tracy Stewart's book about her late, great husband), simply written. For a much better read on getting on the tour and keeping your card, I recommend Q School Confidential, by David Gould.

Summary: A fantastic insight into, well, a rookie on tour!
Comment: This book was such a pleasure to read! It really does take you through all the ups and downs of life on the tour. These guys have to be really, really good, and you learn all about it in this book. Read it and you'll find yourself checking on how Carl is doing in each event he plays in!

Summary: Living a Virtual Rookie PGA Tour Year
Comment: This is a good golf book. Unassuming, hardworking golfer who until I read this book, I hadn't heard of. Selected this book on a whim, but really enjoyed it. Believe all golfers would, as it shows what it's like to be a golfer of Carl's caliber and how competitive it really is out there. The narrowness at the top, and how illusive it is to stay there.
