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 delightlow-handicappers, high-handicappers, and
everyone in between.
