Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A caddie since he was twelve and a golfer sporting a 1.8 handicap, Ollie decides to spend his gap year, pre Harvard, in St. Andrews: a town with the U.K.'s highest number of pubs per capita and home to the Old Course, golf's most famous eighteen holes, where he enrolls in the St. Andrews Links Trust caddie trainee program. Initially, the notoriously brusque veteran caddies treat Ollie like a pest. But after a year of waking up at 4:30 A.M. every morning and looping two rounds a day, Ollie earns their grudging respect. A charming coming-of-age memoir.
Book Synopsis A Caddy's Life by : Sterling E. Rowe
Download or read book A Caddy's Life written by Sterling E. Rowe and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in 1952, Wethersfield (CT) Country Club became the home of a PGA event, the Insurance City Open. Kids flocked to the club to caddy and, if they were good enough, would caddy for the PGA tour players who played in the event. There were no professional caddies as there are now. Instead, every golf professional--be it Palmer or Nicklaus or Player or Trevino-- had a different kid on his bag each week as he worked his way around the country, trying to make a buck. My friends and I were those kids and this is our story.
Download or read book Who's Your Caddy? written by Rick Reilly and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2003-05-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The funniest and most popular sportswriter in America abandons his desk to caddy for some of the world’s most famous golfers—and some celebrity duffers—with hilarious results in this New York Times bestseller. 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 game 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, Jill McGill of the LPGA tour, and Casey Martin—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 persuaded Deepak Chopra and Donald Trump to take him on as a caddy, accompanied the four highest-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.

Download or read book Loopers written by John Dunn and published by Crown. This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Dunn never expected that his summer job as a caddie at the local course in Connecticut might turn into something more. The lifers who plied the loops were an ensemble of misfits and degenerates who made the caddie yard look more like a gambling hall than a country club. But Dunn came of age in those yards and on those courses, and the magnetism of the game and the lifestyle proved irresistible. One adventure after another kept him coming back summer after summer, until he found himself migrating with the seasons, looping at some of the most exquisite and exclusive golf locations in the world. Dunn crisscrossed the country on his own big loop, working inside the privet hedges while camping on the mountains, following the back roads and stumbling across unexpected moments of profound natural beauty, and embracing the freedom of what he calls the last vagabond existence in America, all while trying to decide whether to quit the loop and get a real job. Maybe next season...

Download or read book The Red Caddy written by Charles Bowden and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passionate advocate for preserving wilderness and fighting the bureaucratic and business forces that would destroy it, Edward Abbey (1927–1989) wrote fierce, polemical books such as Desert Solitaire and The Monkey Wrench Gang that continue to inspire environmental activists. In this eloquent memoir, his friend and fellow desert rat Charles Bowden reflects on Abbey the man and the writer, offering up thought-provoking, contrarian views of the writing life, literary reputations, and the perverse need of critics to sum up “what he really meant and whether any of it was truly up to snuff.” The Red Caddy is the first literary biography of Abbey in a generation. Refusing to turn him into a desert guru, Bowden instead recalls the wild man in a red Cadillac convertible for whom liberty was life. He describes how Desert Solitaire paradoxically “launched thousands of maniacs into the empty ground” that Abbey wanted to protect, while sealing his literary reputation and overshadowing the novels that Abbey considered his best books. Bowden also skewers the cottage industry that has grown up around Abbey’s writing, smoothing off its rougher (racist, sexist) edges while seeking “anecdotes, little intimacies . . . pieces of the True Beer Can or True Old Pickup Truck.” Asserting that the real essence of Abbey will always remain unknown and unknowable, The Red Caddy still catches gleams of “the fire that from time to time causes a life to become a conflagration.”

Book Synopsis Memoirs of a Caddy by : David J. Noonan
Download or read book Memoirs of a Caddy written by David J. Noonan and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With humor and pathos, a young caddy from a large, middle- class Catholic family tells what it was like to come of age in the mid-60's, when America was beginning to fall apart. Protagonist Jim Mooney, 17, has some of the wistfulness but none of the big-city veneer of Holden Caulfield - he's the product of a small town 40 miles due west of New York, and his feet are solidly planted on the ground. Jim plays cards with the other caddies - a colorful group to the last man - drinks and hungers for sex, but he's the sort who's going to steer a steady course through life. Not so his older brother Matt, at loose ends and courting danger - whether with the wife of a golfer he caddies for, or in the jungles of Vietnam. Meanwhile, the social strata of the town, steeped in Revolutionary War history, is well delineated - from the country club where the caddies are the put-upon proles and the golfers are judged by their tips, to teenage parties where a kid like Jim straddles the social barrier. Episodes rich in laughter include a double date Jim goes on with an upper-class girl in a Cadillac rescued from a pond and imperfectly restored (a little problem with the brakes). There is also a wonderfully evocative holiday on the hot, relentlessly sunny Jersey shore suddenly cooled by the draft leading in lockstep to Vietnam. The one drawback here is that Jim is so normal that his attitudes offer few surprises. Although covering familiar territory - small-town America and a young man moving from childhood certainties to the ambiguities of adult life - first-novelist Noonan (the nonfiction Neuro, 1989) writes so well that it's worth the trip."--Kirkus

Download or read book The Shameless written by Ace Atkins and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buried secrets, dirty lies, and unbridled greed and ambition raise the stakes down South in the lauded crime series from New York Times bestselling author Ace Atkins. Twenty years ago, Brandon Taylor was thought to be just another teen boy who ended his life too soon. That's what almost everyone in Tibbehah County, Mississippi, said after his body and hunting rifle were found in the Big Woods. Now two New York-based reporters show up asking Sheriff Quinn Colson questions about the Taylor case. What happened to the evidence? Where are the missing files? Who really killed Brandon? Quinn wants to help. After all, his wife Maggie was a close friend of Brandon Taylor. But Quinn was just a kid himself in 1997, and these days he's got more on his plate than twenty-year-old suspicious death. He's trying to shut down the criminal syndicate that's had a stranglehold on Tibbehah for years, trafficking drugs, stolen goods, and young women through the MidSouth. Truck stop madam Fannie Hathcock runs most of that action, and has her eyes on taking over the whole show. And then there's Senator Jimmy Vardaman, who's cut out the old political establishment riding the Syndicate's money and power--plus a hefty helping of racism and ignorance--straight to the governor's office. If he manages to get elected, the Syndicate will be untouchable. Tibbehah will be lawless. Quinn's been fighting evil and corruption since he was a kid, at home or as a U.S. Army Ranger in Afghanistan and Iraq. This time, evil may win out.
