Editorial Review:
Since the days when he made thirty-eight dollars a week working as a trainee,
Greg Norman went on to win ninety-one professional golf tournaments worldwide and held the No. 1 World Ranking for 331 weeks. Bringing the same competitive fire and unmatched desire to the boardroom, he built Great White Shark Enterprises, a multimillion-dollar business and an internationally recognized brand ranging from golf course design and real estate to apparel and wine. In the course of his life, Norman has done something very few professional athletes have managed: He has transcended the sport that made him famous.
With his trademark charm and eloquence, Norman reveals the secrets behind his myriad achievements. Illustrating the principles at the core of his success, he offers concrete advice for successfully playing both the "front nine" and the "back nine" of life. Practical, engaging, and incisive, The Way of the Shark shares the lessons Greg Norman has learned both on the course and off, demonstrating how anyone, at any stage of his or her career, can be a champion.

How unique, indeed refreshing it is to read a book by and about a professional athlete, unlike so many others past or current, who has achieved great success both in athletic competition and in the business world. In this volume that Greg Norman wrote with Donald T. Phillips, he shares the lessons he has learned thus far (he continues to compete on a limited basis) "in golf, business, and life." It is important to note that when writing a book as well as when preparing for a major tournament ... Read More

Rating: - Golfers will love this book
Who is the greatest athlete Australia has ever produced? Arguably it is Greg Norman. He is certainly the most well known. He has won 91 golf tournaments around the world, including 20 PGA tournaments in the U.S. and 2 British Opens.
Swimming and surfing were his original passions, but his mother's passion for golf captured young Norman as well, and after a stellar, but brief amateur career, he started as a golf professional trainee in 1975 for the magnificent sum of $38 per week--Australian! ... Read More
