520 _aWhen he was eighteen, Harry seemed to have a golden pro career ahead of him. In 1970, he was the number one player on the Harvard freshman team - until he quit, disgusted with a sport that clung to an elitist, "country club" past in an era of great social and political change. Over the next quarter century, he played little more than eighteen holes a year. But in 1995, he experienced again the sheer, exhilarating terror of competitive play. Harry Hurt had decided to take.
520 _aone last shot at glory. He was going to reconstruct his game and finally make it to the PGA Tour. Spanning the nation's most diverse and treacherous courses - from Long Island's blue-collar Barcelona Neck to Doral's "Blue Monster" in Florida - Harry's story includes a stellar cast of supporting characters: PGA Tour stars Greg Norman, Fred Couples, Ben Crenshaw, Tiger Woods and Bruce Lietzke; the colorful tennis great Ivan Lendl, pursuing a second stint in the spotlight.

Along the way, Harry takes lessons from legendary gurus such as the brothers Butch and Dick Harmon and sports psychologist Dr. Bob Rotella.

And by the time he nails his dramatic first pro victory, Harry has discovered exactly what all golfers need inside to succeed.
