When author Philip Reed met ninety-year-old Mike Austin, he knew that Austin held the record for the longest drive ever an awesome 515-yard shot during a Senior PGA event. What he didn't know was that he was forging a bond with a man whose amazing life he chronicles in a book that is charming, funny, and wise, and cherished by amateur and pro golfers alike. In their sessions together, Austin spins yarns about winning wagers on trick shots, sharing a Hollywood apartment with Errol Flynn; giving secret lessons to Howard Hughes; and matching shots against Sam Snead and Ben Hogan. And Reed records them all while carefully transcribing the secrets of the most powerful swing in the history of golf. Through Austin's wavering health and implausible storytelling, Reed has written a book that has the golf world buzzing and readers who savor heartwarming stories of unexpected friendships smiling.
