Life, like golf, isn’t designed to be easy…or fair. Every lie isn’t flat. Every line isn’t perfect. You can put in lots of hard work but still get bad breaks. Good times. Hard times. We all have obstacles to overcome and events that test our character. The same is true for those who are used to overpowering the field and the golf course, and their collected wisdom in LIFE ON THE GREEN certainly transcends the game.
There are few sports broadcasters with Ann Liguori’s incredible resume. Her “Hey Liguori, What’s the Story?” and “Conversations with Ann Liguori” shows were formative programming in the early days of WFAN Radio in New York and The Golf Channel, respectively, and with countless interviews with some of the biggest names in sports history like Hank Aaron, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Coach K, Wilt Chamberlain, Arthur Ashe, and Billie Jean King, Liguori has mastered the art of the most demanding method of storytelling: The interview. Getting these iconic athletes comfortable enough to give real, thoughtful answers takes talent and a deft touch. Ann accomplishes that every time with sincere warmth and genuine interest in her guests’ perspectives.
LIFE ON THE GREEN is a book that will inform and enlighten readers like others. These are the lessons that build champions in golf and life.
