Scott Draper has achieved the near-impossible in the demanding world of the professional athlete, successfully crossing from one sport to another, from his first love of tennis to a new passion for golf. During a top-flight tennis career that culminated in a world ranking of 42, Scott beat some of the best in the game: Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, Boris Becker, Pat Rafter and Thomas Muster. But his toughest battles were off the court, against opponents he could never prepare for: obsessive-compulsive disorder, the terminal illness of his wife kellie and the overwhelming grief when kellie lost her fight for life, leaving Scott a widower at 25. Scott lost his motivation to play tennis, ate and drank too much and finally began nursing his grief on the golf course. Several years on, Scott is a new man. He's found love and married again, retired from tennis after winning the mixed doubles title at the 2005 Australian Open with Samantha Stosur and is now focusing his efforts on making the cut as pro golfer. Too Good is his heartbreaking and inspiring story. Book jacket.
