"In my conversations with these golf legends, I discovered that the principles they live by—such as resilience, integrity, and passion—are not just for the golf course. These values are universal and can guide us all in our daily lives." — Ann Liguori
Legendary CBS Sports broadcaster Jim Nantz wrote the foreword to Ann’s book. “While my great friend Ann Liguori could certainly master any facet of the business—and she has—there is no clearer example of her massive abilities than to take in one of her countless high-level interviews. Her reservoir of superstar guests through the years would make Jimmy Kimmel envious....You are about to embark on a journey that will inform and enlighten you. You will go behind the scenes, with Ann as your tour guide. I promise it will be filled with kindness, yet determination. It will be dogged, yet diplomatic. It will be storytelling at its best—unfiltered and fresh. It will be told by an exquisite interviewer, who in concert with our heroes, will entertain you page after page. You will be inspired by the life lessons that the greatest names in golf share - wisdom that we all can embrace for a lifetime of success and happiness."
