DOWNLOAD EBOOKExperience the thrill, twenty-five years later, of Steve Scott's epic finals match against Tiger Woods in the 1996 United States Amateur Championship! In August of ‘96, Steve Scott went head to head against Tiger Woods at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in the finals of the US Amateur Championship. Five thousand three hundred forty-five players whittled down to two. Scott found himself a surprising 5-up after the first 18, but at hole 35 Tiger squared the grueling match with an improbable 40-foot birdie putt. With the result coming down to the last hole, the difference in the outcome actually came earlier, when Scott reminded Woods to move his mark back to its rightful place on hole 34. Had Scott not done the morally correct thing, Tiger would have been penalized and, in turn, not have won three straight U.S. Amateur Championships (something not even the great Jack Nicklaus or legendary Bobby Jones had done), forever changing the course of Tiger’s career and golf history. In Hey, Tiger—You Need to Move Your Mark Back, Scott teams up with esteemed storyteller Tripp Bowden to explain, twenty-five years later, what led to that life-changing moment and to describe, in his own words, the exhilaration of that ‘96 U. S. Amateur Championship and how it ultimately changed golf history and the two competitors' lives. Forever. Hey Tiger—You Need to Move Your Mark Back is a story for the ages for golf fans looking for an unlikely new perspective on the greatest game in the world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIf you want your child to succeed in youth basketball, you can't be just a spectator. Get involved-the right way-and help him or her prepare for games at the high school and college levels. In the Parent's Guide to Youth Basketball and Beyond, authors Kevin Cantwell and Pat Alacqua offer their coaching and parenting expertise, outlining the role parents need to take, providing information and history on youth basketball in the United States, highlighting the pitfalls of the US system, and showing you how to gain access to the resources needed to most effectively help your child. Cantwell, who spent his career coaching at the college level, pulls back the veil and shows curious readers exactly how the recruitment process for college basketball works, how to recognize and develop their children's most important skills, and how to best showcase their children's talent. The current youth basketball system in the United States is not tailored to help individual children reach their full potential. The responsibility to research and plan for success, therefore, rests on parents and family members. Cantwell and Alacqua's step-by-step instructions will help you effectually shape and support your child's journey.
