    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, recounting it all in this hilarious and revealing look at the world of golf.

    Who knows a golfer 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. To round out his portrait of the golfing life, 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.

    In Who's Your Caddy?, Reilly chronicles his experiences in the same inimitable style that makes his back-page column for Sports Illustrated a must-read for more than twenty million people every week. From his laugh-out-loud portrait of Deepak Chopra decomposing on the green, to his portraits of good ol' boys who bet $100,000 a round, to his hilarious descriptions of his own ineptitude as a caddy, to his insights into what
    makes the greats of golf so great, Reilly combines a wicked wit with an expert's eye in a most original and entertaining look at golf.

    Who's Your Caddy? is the next best thing to a great round of golf. It is sure to delight low-handicappers, high-handicappers, and everyone in between.

      “The Old Adage – ‘Turn Up, Keep, And Shut Up’ – Seems To Get Forgotten More And More…”

      Nov 15, 2023

      Like, I suspect, most journalists who dabble in professional golf, I’ve got a lot of time for a lot of the caddies on tour. Not only are they wonderfully open (and often indiscreet) sources of information, but they also tend to be good people whose v

      If 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.
    • 4/5
      Listened to it on audio book, read by the author. Pretty funny. Some of his time with John Daly was hilarious.
