    About this audiobook

    Arnold Palmer taught world-class pro golf instructor Brad Brewer how to play golf. But that was just the beginning. For more than 30 years, Palmer taught Brad how to live. As a businessman, a father, a celebrity, a philanthropist, and a friend, Palmer showed those around him that true success has nothing to do with the final score - and everything to do with how you play the game.

    In Arnold Palmer's Success Lessons, Brad shares the life-changing truths he learned from the King of Golf throughout three decades of knowing Palmer as a business partner, employer, and mentor. In short but powerful chapters, Brad passes on Palmer's secrets such as:

    • Why you always need to play for the love of the game

    • What your starting point tells you about your destination

    • How to capitalize on past success

    • The attitude of a true champion

    • Why golf is like all the best things in life - it's more complicated than it looks

    Taking us from Palmer's childhood to his last years back in his own hometown, Brad introduces us to the Arnold Palmer behind the trophies, the celebrity, and the fame. This was the man who changed lives simply by living well, a man loved and respected not only for what he did but for who he was.

      Mentored by the King: Arnold Palmer's Success Lessons for Golf, Business, And Life.Author Brad Brewer has been a friend to his mentor, Arnold Palmer for more than twenty-five years. He has taken his advice, his thoughts and his impressions and applied them to his life and those around him.Arnold lives by very strict principles, he's honest, upfront and loyal to his friends and family. He keeps a close knit circle around himself while maintaining his original roots. He credits his father with giving him the moral tenets and structure in which he lives by. His humanitarian efforts are outstanding and his community has benefited numerously over the years from his charity golf tournaments.Brad Brewer writes about these principles of Arnold Palmer's, there are about thirty-five of them, with great flourish and depth, endearing you to the legend of Arnold. There are many anecdotes shared about Arnold's encounters with all walks of life, his tenacity over cleanliness and yes, even his faults. Brad's portrayal this man is almost god-like in its proportions, however, he writes his words in a such a believable way that you cannot help but wonder, maybe Arnold Palmer is a great man to meet!I really liked the natural rhythm with which Brad Brewer writes, his words appeared honest and thoughtful. His belief in the tenets of Arnold Palmer never sways and he backs Arnold's greatness with quotes about reaching for your dreams, never giving up, always going forward to name just a few words of encouragement shared within these pages. I didn't find the book to be so much about golf, then the man with whom golf became. Arnold Palmer never strays far from his roots and his words of wisdom are true and everyone should take a moment to ponder them.There were many anecdotes involving celebrities and politicians that were very interesting to read, as well as, those being shared about the "average Joe". You almost get the sense that the man is perfect in everything he does. I found it to be an easy read, and filled with factual data to support the stories shared.I would have liked to have seen some pictures included in the book and sadly, there was none. Pictures of Mr. Palmer at some of his "greatest" moments as well as some at his "humblest", would have made this a really great book. For those who wish to cross reference there is a detailed bibliography located at the back of the book.I think this book would be a great read for those who like biographies, golf/sports fans or are fans of Arnold Palmer, it won't be a disappoint.
