[College Golf Book @CGolfBook]

I cannot emphasize enough how much the book The Last Putt by @bynhayes @knbrmurph has positively impacted my interest in college golf for going so far beyond just the Tiger Woods aspect of it all. If you're reading this and haven't already, I'd highly recommend purchasing a copy!

Our film was When the Game Stands Tall https://t.co/krAwQRQtgD an inspiring true story of a De La Salle high school’s football team who achieve huge success built upon Lasallian values. Really enjoyable.

@jteacher1402 For the Indigo reading challenge, I am going to read When the Game Stands Tall by Neil Hayes. It is based on a movie with the same name, and it is similar to Just Mercy in a way that it is a book about coming together but with football. #indigochallenge

(7/7). To be judged by the color of our skin is not only ignorance, it is a sin. Can we learn from all of this that enough is enough?

[Paul Parr @mrparr1213]

@RealCoachK "Chasing Perfection" or "When the Game Stands Tall".
Both are real good.

I was nominated by @joeycentanni to post covers of #7books that I love: no explanations, no reviews, just covers. Each time I post I’ll ask another to take up the challenge. One cover a day for a week. Today on day 2 - I nominate @redondo_ryan. Book by @bynhayes and solid movie.

@Man_of_Steele07 When the game stands tall. Great football book

[Brian Murphy @knbrmurph]

@KOCOCarson @bynhayes @OSUBratton We wrote that nearly a decade ago, so couldn't be more delighted to hear it's still being read! Civic duty + reading "The Last Putt" = You are the American citizen of the year. Thanks!

[Neil Hayes @bynhayes]

Awesome piece by the great Austin Murphy, who was one of the nicest, most helpful guys in sports writing. I think all of us can identify. I know I can. I drive a van, too, but not for Amazon. https://t.co/OT5AByP56d

MVP QB Casey Therriault returns to Germany to play for Hildesheim Invaders https://t.co/yMI7uxodnV

[Neil Hayes @bynhayes]

Feeling very satisfied after finishing the rough draft of my fourth book, "Blue-Eyed Soul Brother," which I'm writing with @TherriaultCasey. I'm convinced this book can be as impactful as 'When the Game Stands Tall" and "Chasing Perfection."

[Speaker and Business Coach Gary @Gary_Hernbroth]

Winningest prep football coach Bob Ladouceur of "When the Game Stands Tall" on how important team dynamics are: "Creating a team is bigger, tougher & more elusive than any opponent we will ever face." Truly, the competition is tough enough, you don't need troubles on your team.
