Praise for John Feinstein’s
MOMENT of GLORY
“John Feinstein’s golf books have succeeded in giving equal billing to headliners and journeymen…. Feinstein’s genius is his ability to peel back several layers on the personalities involved, reminding you in the process that even the most obscure players have a story worth telling.”
—Sam Weinman, Golf Digest
“With unprecedented access, Feinstein provides readers with a true behind-the-scenes look at the 2003 major championships…. A quite enjoyable book. If you’re a true fan of the game—young or old—Moment of Glory is a book that’s certainly worth reading.”
—Michael Fitzpatrick, CBSSports.com
“It may seem odd that a bestselling writer would write a golf book about four players, none of them Tiger Woods. If anybody can do it and move a lot of product, John Feinstein is the guy…. Because the author has been close to the tour players for years, he had excellent access to all of the winners about whom he wrote, and, in some cases, access to their families as well…. Feinstein certainly knows his territory, and he’s adept at making us feel sorry for a guy who scales the heights of his profession, only to drop down to number 125 on the tour.”
—Bill Littlefield, National Public Radio’s Only a Game
“Moment of Glory tells the story of those victories and the aftermath for the winners and the losers.”
—Reid Cherner, USA Today
“John Feinstein assays the burdensome weights on and off the course that attend both winning and… just falling short.”
—Jeff Silverman, Golf.com
“Fascinating…. Feinstein’s work, like that of the best American sportswriters, is richly detailed and emotionally articulate.”
—David Goldblatt, Guardian
“It’s a compelling story, very well researched…. Feinstein paints a very personal picture of the obstacles players on the tour have to overcome…. Feinstein has crafted a great page-turner.”
—Steve Leventhal, Chicago Now
“With Moment of Glory, Feinstein has added another top-notch work to his oeuvre.”
