About this audiobook
The funniest and most popular sportswriter in America abandons his desk at Sports Illustrated to caddy for some of the world's most famous golfers-and some celebrity duffers-with hilarious results.
Who knows golfers best? Who's with them every minute of every round, hears their muttering, knows whether they cheat? Their caddies, of course. So sportswriter Rick Reilly figured that he could learn a lot about the players and their games by caddying, even though he had absolutely no idea how to do it. Amazingly, some of the best golfers in the world-including Jack Nicklaus, David Duval, Tom Lehman, John Daly, Casey Martin, and Jill McGill-agreed to let Reilly carry their bags at actual PGA and LPGA Tour events. Reilly also caddied at the Masters, persuaded Deepak Chopra and Donald Trump to use him as a caddy, accompanied high-rolling golf hustlers in Las Vegas around the course, and carried the bag for a blind golfer.
Between his hilarious descriptions of his own ineptitude as a caddy and his insight into what makes the greats of golf so great, Reilly's wicked wit and an expert's eye provide readers with the next best thing to a great round of golf.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you are a golf nut you will most likely enjoy this book. It is a collection of stories about some celebrity golfers, and some just plain celebrities, told from the perspective of a sportswriter who finagled an opportunity to caddy for each of them for a day or a tournament. The stories and the writing are hilarious. I dipped into the paperback version in my car whenever I had flat time waiting for something. Another reviewer has said he cracked up at the John Daly chapter. I cracked up at most of them and I really liked Jill McGill - she would be a wonderful dinner guest. There are a couple of serious observations about the game that are worth considering but, for the most part, the book is pure entertainment.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Listened to it on audio book, read by the author. Pretty funny. Some of his time with John Daly was hilarious.
