Alison Nicholas, MBE, is one of Great Britain's most successful
golfers. In a professional career spanning more than 20 years, she
claimed 18 tournament wins including the British Open, topped the Ladies
European Tour Order of Merit and, in 1997, won the most prestigious
championship in golf - the US Open. Her aggregate ten-under-par total
was, at the time, the lowest recorded in the history of the championship
and led to her becoming The Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year, and
the LET Players' Player of the Year.
In turn, Alison is well known for her Solheim Cup exploits. She played
in six, and captained the European team to a famous victory at Killeen
Castle in 2011. Images of the team celebrating in front of the windswept
castle have become iconic.
In this candid and entertaining book, Alison explores her years on both
the LET and LPGA Tours, the ups and downs, her tournament records, her
faith, and - of course - the Solheim Cup. Filled with anecdotes from the
other side of the ropes, behind-the-scenes insights, and images from her
private photo collection, the book charts the hard work, focus, attitude
and good times that led to Alison Nicholas Walking Tall.
