The Uncorrupted Pleasure Of An Old Bladed Putter is a love letter
to golf, revealing something of the beauty, joy and comradeship
that the author James Ellis-Caird has taken from his golfing life.
In doing so, it is quietly revolutionary, depicting a vision of
golf free from the constraints of convention and expectation, in
which being 'good enough' is the goal, allowing space for personal
expression, an appreciation of nature and the joy of the little
things to come to the fore. A lesson not just for golf, but also
perhaps for a quieter, gentler way to live our lives. Whether
you're a non-golfer, a new golfer, an old golfer or an ex-golfer,
The Uncorrupted Pleasure Of An Old Bladed Putter offers gentle
words of wisdom and a fond conversational style that will have you
reaching for the nearest golf club and falling in love with the
game all over again.
In this very funny sports book young journalist Lawrence Donegan tells the story of the summer he spent caddying for Scottish golfer Ross Drummond, ranked over 400 in the world,on the European Tour. This is the inside story of the geniuses,the cheats, the gurus and the hangers-on that make up the golf scene.
