And, with that kind of experience, he has acquired an unrivalled collection of brilliant and hilarious stories about and from some of the most famous names in the sport. Including first-hand contributions from golf's biggest stars, such as Arnold Palmer, Colin Montgomerie and Eamonn Darcy, these are the inside stories of the good, the bad and the downright astonishing from the world of golf, recounted in Torrance's own inimitable style.
