Description

Ian Baker-Finch: To Hell and Back is the first and only biography of one of the best-known names in golfing circles. Charting Ian Baker-Finch’s story from his early golfing career through to his later success in media, it has been written with Ian’s full co-operation and explores the tragic circumstances behind the Australian golfer’s loss of form.
 
When Ian Baker-Finch won the 1991 Open, he became a household name. Yet his world collapsed after a dramatic and inexplicable loss of form a few years later. For over 30 years the golfing world has wondered, ‘What caused Ian Baker-Finch’s crash?’ This book provides the answers. Faced with the tragically premature end of his playing career, Ian not only recovered but went from strength to strength: he has been a world-class sports commentator and analyst for CBS and other networks for over 25 years.
 
Ian Baker-Finch is known and admired across the golfing world, and his is a powerful story about a sportsman with the eyes of the world on him.
