Rising from the Ashes: a Golfer's Tale Michael L. Proko

69.67.72.74. The last 4 rounds at Cog Hill, just outside Chicago. Mike Proko must have pissed off the golf gods because in two days, he would be paralyzed from not one but two strokes costing him his not only his golf game but his golfing prowess. Would he be able to climb as high as he had in the past? Actually, he would climb higher for what he found inside of himself. This is the second book in the 'RISING FROM THE ASHES' series. Some of the stories are old, some are new, but each one of them played a vital part in recovery from a series of devastating strokes. Hundreds of stories from hundreds of golfers, but these were the picks that were able to make the final cut. Beautiful stories about some amazing people and their impact on the author. An interesting tale about the lengths that one man would go to reclaim what was rightfully his-- a genuine love for a timeless game.
