Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

George Newbern's narration is a real treat in this audiobook. He masterfully switches between the voices of Watson and Nicklaus, making it easy to follow the back-and-forth of their rivalry. The pacing is spot-on, building tension as the matches unfold, and Newbern's enthusiasm is infectious. I particularly enjoyed the way Posnanski weaves in personal anecdotes, giving us a glimpse into the off-course lives of these two icons. However, I did find some of the technical golf jargon a bit overwhelming at times, which might be a barrier for casual listeners. Overall, though, The Secret of Golf is a hole in one for golf fans and a fascinating listen for anyone interested in the power of sports rivalries.
