2005 was Scott Draper's farewell year in tennis, and his rookie year in golf. Achieving the near impossible in the demanding world of professional sport, Scott has successfully crossed over from one passion to another, from his first love of tennis to a more recent passion for golf.
During an impressive tennis career that culminated in a world ranking of 42, Scott was battling his own medical condition, OCD, when he also began assisting his wife, Kellie, who needed daily physiotherapy to battle the effects of cystic fibrosis. In 1997 Kellie lost her battle for life, leaving Scott a widower at just 25 years of age.
Around the same time he suffered a major knee injury, lost his motivation to play tennis, ate and drank too much and, finally, began nursing his grief on the golf course.
Several years on now and Scott is a new man. He's found love and married again, retired from tennis after winning the mixed doubles that the 2005 Australian Open with Sam Stosur and is now focusing his efforts on making the cut as a pro golfer.
'Too Good' tells how with the help of family and friends and the Australian tennis fraternity Scott was able to rebuild his health and motivation. Essential to his comeback was his sports psychologist and friend, Michael Fox, whose thoughts and analyses are integral to Scott's story.
'Too Good' is a heart-breaking and inspiring story.
