Summary

As any other child, Tiger's parents mean the world to him. His dads name is Earl Wood and his mothers name is Kultida Woods. The main characters of this book is Tiger Woods and his parents. The theme is of this book is adventurous because Tiger Woods starts from being an unknown kid and becomes one of the biggest sport stars today. the title of this book is called on the course with Tiger Woods which means doing deeper into Tiger Woods golf life.





Most who played golf were white people or really rich people. So it was hard for Tiger Wood to play golf because people would always make raciest comments because he was black. But at the end of each game no one said anything about his skin because they would be amazed at his golf skills. As Tiger was still in elementary he was getting a lot of college offers. But he ended going pro before going to college.

Tiger Woods was always too good to be true. From the moment his father first put a club in his hands, before he even took his first steps. He made his first public appearance at the age of 2, on the Mike Douglas Show, where he dazzled the audience with a swing that left people gasping. As an amateur golfer, he put together a record so dominating that it was unbelievable, winning six national titles in succession, three Junior Amateurs, followed by three Amateurs. When he turned pro, he not only racked up victories in regular PGA Tour events but also won major championships by breaking records.

Christian perspective

This book was not written in a christian perspective but it had a lot of Christ like actions. For instance when people would always make raciest comments, Tiger Woods wouldn't respond in a aggressive way he would go home and talk to his parents about it. The book said only one thing about Tigers religion and it mentioned that he was a Buddhist. Even though Tiger Woods was not christian he was always kind and he acted like a christian.

My thoughts

This is definitely one of the best biographies I've ever read. Despite not being a fan of golf, I still found this book very interesting. From him starting to play golf at a young age and still be really good, It shows you why Tiger Woods is such a great golfer. Who doesn't want to know the secret of being a great athlete? It seems like Tiger Woods is such a great golfer because he started playing golf at a very young age.
