| ZINGER Hardback Book with Dust Jacket An Autobiography by Paul Azinger with Ken Abraham Over 220 pages Copyright © 1995 by Paul Azinger " "You feel pretty bulletproof when you're 33 years old, but for the first time in my life, I thought about my mortality. My major championship, my ten victories before that, everything I had accomplished in golf became meaningless to me. All I wanted to do was live." " " Golfing great Paul Azinger was on top of the world after winning the 1993 PGA Championship at Inverness. But life, like the quicksilver game of golf, can bring sudden turns of fortune as birdies become bogies and balls curl around the hole and lip out instead of going in. Not long after his million-dollar winning season, a persistent pain in Paul's shoulder was diagnosed as cancer. Suddenly, the determined pro golfer faced his greatest challenge. " " Zinger is the story of a man who has proved his grit on the golf course and who overcame the odds to become one of the best players on the PGA Tour. But it's more than just a sports story. It's about Paul Azinger's struggle with cancer and the source of inner strength that helped him beat the disease and play golf again. " " You'll read about Paul's early days growing up in Sarasota, Florida... how he developed his well-known "knock down" game... the mentors who helped him learn to concentrate and overcome his personal and athletic weaknesses... making the PGA Tour... winning
"Player of the Year" honors in 1987... the real story behind his 1991 disqualification at Doral... the inside stories of Paul's matches with Steve Ballesteros... the 1993 PGA championship and million-dollar season... his dramatic final-hole victory at the prestigious Memorial Tournament... his fight with lymphoma... and his triumphant re-emergence on the golf-circuit free of the cancer that almost ended his career. " " Paul also tells about his family, his faith, and his new priorities and dreams for the future. He says, "I have a new calling... It is to be an inspiration to others and encourage others, and raise as much money as I can to cure the disease of cancer." " " Zinger is the portrait of a buoyant and determined player who savors every second of life; a scrapper who relishes a good match; and a believer whose life is rooted in his deep Christian faith. It's the inspiring close-up of a great athlete and a great human being who has learned to look at the positive side of tough experiences and who wants others to know about the spiritual strength he has found.
