This nervy and captivating memoir blends riveting personal narrative with a bracing call to action. Lisa Cornwell never shied away from standing up to bullies. As a college freshman, she witnessed an enraged man hit a woman with a closed fist while a paralyzed crowd looked on. Seconds later, she took matters into her own hands-with a 3-iron from her golf bag. This enduring impulse crystalized years later when she decided to speak out against the misogynistic corporate culture she and others had endured at her employer, Golf Channel. She was instantly branded a troublemaker, but for Cornwell, that was nothing new. In this authentic and outspoken memoir, Cornwell takes readers into the boys' club of sports media and inside the buttoned-up world of golf while revealing the unlikely yet formative touchstones of her life, from a close friendship with Tiger Woods when both were nationally ranked junior golfers, to the decision she made to walk away from an anticipated professional career playing the sport she'd always loved. At the same time, Cornwell lays bare the experiences of reckoning with her sexuality in a Southern Baptist community, battling an eating disorder, and discovering a passion for broadcast journalism which would eventually lead her to Golf Channel.Candid and compulsively readable, Troublemaker serves as a reminder of the ability we hold to stand up to Goliaths and the power in finding one's own path.…
