'I hate failure. The idea of failure is, I think, my driving force' Greg Norman Greg Norman has been the best golfer in the world for almost a decade. He is an electrifying performer, yet his career record is rather less than the sum of its parts. His spectacular victories have been interspersed with equally spectacular disasters, such as the infamous loss of a six-stroke lead to Nick Faldo in the 1996 Masters. But win or lose, Norman's bold do-or-die approach is the key to his popularity as well as his phenomenal financial success. From the time he decided to make golf his life at 19, he has been in the limelight on and off the course--swimming with sharks, racing Ferraris with Nigel Mansell and joyriding in F-16 jets. His image is pure Hollywood, but what's he really like? To find the man behind the myth, Lauren St John takes us behind the scenes of his spectacular highs and lows. The result is a revealing portrait of a complex and driven hero.
