Tanner Olson,
Rainmaker was an introspective look into the life of IMG agent Hughes Norton and mainly his work representing multiple golfers across the 1970s, 80s, and 90s including his groundbreaking deals with golf’s biggest star Tiger Woods。 Coming into this book be mostly unaware of who Hughes Norton and IMG were, the beginning background information was helpful in building up the story, but I found that in the middle it got a bit slow paced at times。 I really enjoyed the last 30% regarding Tiger Woods an Rainmaker was an introspective look into the life of IMG agent Hughes Norton and mainly his work representing multiple golfers across the 1970s, 80s, and 90s including his groundbreaking deals with golf’s biggest star Tiger Woods。 Coming into this book be mostly unaware of who Hughes Norton and IMG were, the beginning background information was helpful in building up the story, but I found that in the middle it got a bit slow paced at times。 I really enjoyed the last 30% regarding Tiger Woods and Hughes’ career thoughts on the LIV and made the slow build absolutely worth it。This book was provided to me by NetGalley and Atria Books in exchange for my honest and fair opinion。 Being a golf fan, this was a fun and interesting read that I would recommend。 。。。more
Emm H,
Hughes Norton presents an understandably biased but also fascinating view into recent golf history in this memoir cum business guidance text。 His background knowledge of the golf goings-on sheds light on current changes, especially in relationship to LIV and the PGA。 I look forward to sharing this one with my partner, who is a golfer, and will likely get even more of the references and insider knowledge than I did。 Rounding 3。5 to 4 stars。 Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC。
