Bridgeport,
CT, USA -- It's 1997 and golf legend Jack Nicklaus watched the
riveting new star, Tiger Woods, destroy the competition at the
Masters. When Woods declares his goal is to beat Nicklaus' 18 major
golf titles, that gets Nicklaus wondering. Does the kid have what it
takes?
What
if Jack Nicklaus challenged Tiger Woods to a totally private round of
golf? Just the two of them?
Following
this exciting premise, author Colin Koenig crafted together a
fictional match between golf's greats that carries an 18-hole round
of golf through an entire book. Major Wager (The Pure Round of Golf
Jack challenged Tiger To) is that tale, and is now available through
Amazon.com
(https://www.amazon.com/Major-Wager-Round-Challenged-Tiger/dp/1518748562/182-6638860-8750045).
Nicklaus
wants to play the round at Augusta National, home of The Masters. But
can he arrange it? What about keeping a low profile? Would they not
use their caddies, and even carry their own golf clubs? And not tell
their families? It would be just them----two men meeting to play a
round of golf...but it turns into so much more.
With
witty dialogue and vivid imagery, Koenig creates a round of golf that
will never be forgotten. Taking into account the age difference and
the character of each man, he brings their personalities to life on
the course. With human touches: "Tiger took off his cap, which
was drenched with sweat. He wanted a new one," and inside
glimpses into their minds: "(Jack) was beginning to feel a bit
nervous about what he was going to propose to Tiger, and the fear of
rejection was something Jack Nicklaus was unaccustomed to." The
book reads like a Sports Illustrated story.
The
story answers questions every golf enthusiast has probably asked:
• What
would happen if the two pros golfed one-on-one?
• What
would they talk about?
• What's
going on inside their heads as they play?
• Stripped
of their entourage and away from the public intrusion of the cameras,
can these legends of golf play a round like two normal guys?
A
long-time sports enthusiast, Koenig reveals what he thinks the
answers to those questions are in a fast-paced narrative that will
keep readers turning pages. It's definitely a match that would have
made history, had anyone known about it. One reviewer, Grady Harp, a
Top 100 Amazon Reviewer, said this about the book. "Colin
supplies a jet-propelled adventure on a golf course that reads so
well that it vies with any mystery or thriller on the shelf."
