Non-Fiction Memoir
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 delight low-handicappers, high-
handicappers, and everyone in between.
