Radio & TV giveaways.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>One of the funniest, most beloved, and most often quoted entertainers in the world tells his tale of Life and Golf--and of somehow surviving both. <p/>With his brilliant creation, groundskeeper Carl Spackler, and the outrageous success of the film <i>Caddyshack</i> firmly etched into the American consciousness, Bill Murray and golf have become synonymous.

But more important, when to"--to his escapades on the Pro-Am golf circuit at the Augusta National and as a fan at the Masters, the U.S. Open, and the Western Open. An up-by-the-bootstraps tale of a man, his muse, and our society's fascination with a little white ball, <b>Cinderella</b> Story is one pilgrim's bemused path through the doglegs.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Murray plays the funny, daffy guy with all the verve he gives to that role in his movies.
