"FORE" is the story of four professional caddies who were raised
within a few doors of each other in a small road in the Birkdale
area of Southport and who happened to caddy for the winners of no
less than ten golf Opens and numerous other prestigious tournaments
over a period of fifteen years. When they were young, the "Birkdale
Boys" as they would become known, had a vision of making their
living out of caddying and of going on to 'Win' in a big way: this
book shows how their dreams became a reality. Alfie Fyles, the main
character in the book, had another dream - that he would write a
book of his life experiences and, using the anecdotes and funny
tales he used to regale everyone with, reveal the truth that was
behind their success and the rollercoaster existence of numerous
other characters who were on the circuit at that time. Alf made and
lost a fortune in his career and lived his life in his own
inimitable way. He didn't answer to anyone and, although his bills
were all paid and his funeral was accounted for, he died with just
a few hundred pounds to his name.The book is hilarious in places
and will make you cry in others, and it shows the human face of the
four Birkdale Boys, ever mindful of the Opens, who would support
some of the most prestigious golfers the world has seen to date.
