For "caddy" read confessor, punch-bag, psychotherapist, life-coach,general dogsbody, friend. It's all in a day's work for the men who carrythe bag. And if you want to get behind the Pringle sweaters and PRthere's no better place to be. Who knows a golfer best? Who's with themevery minute of every round, hears their every word, witnesses theirdespair and triumph? Who knows if, when and how they cheat? Thecaddy, of course.So when, Rick Reilly, America's most celebrated sportswriter decided hewanted to write a book about golf he put down his pen, picked up thephone, and hired himself out to the great, near great and the reprobates ofgolf. The results were amazing - John Daly, Tom Lehman, DonaldTrump, Deepak Chopra, a blind player, David Duval, a couple of high-rolling hustlers in Vegas and even Jack Nicklaus himself, put their doubtsbehind them and hand over the bag.In the resulting account Reilly chronicles his experiences in the sameinimitable style that makes his back-page column for Sports Illustrated amust-read for more than twenty million people every week.

In Who's Your Caddy? you'll find out - you're not alone..
