Who's Your Caddy?

Looping For the Great, Near Great and Reprobates of Golf

De: Rick Reilly

Narrado por: Grover Gardner

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—with hilarious results.

Who knows golfers 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. 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.
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.©2003 Rick Reilly; (P)2003 Books on Tape, Inc.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Reilly could write about lawn bowling and make it funny, informative, and entertaining. You never know what the next page is going to bring.” —Los Angeles Times

“You might not think the story of a man carrying Tommy Aaron’s golf bag for 18 holes could make you laugh out loud, but you’d be wrong. Who’s Your Caddy? is funny enough to coax a chuckle out of Vijay Singh. A great way to read about the game—and its people, too.” —Charlotte Observer

“Goes down faster than a cool Bud on a 100-degree day.” —Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Enjoyed It

Riley hangs out with a lot golfers you "care" about. He has some funny stories. The time went fast with the book. I wish there was more.

Interesting and very funny

I don't write reviews at all, however after listening to Rick Reilly I felt compelled. What a fantasic time I had listening, laughing out loud.

10 / 10

thoroughly enjoyed and awaiting his next book.

Good stories narrator was terrible

Rick did his own narration on last book I listened to and much better. He’s a comedian and this guy just dead panned the whole book. If I wanted to listen to non fiction civil war history would be great but not for Rick Reilly

Absolutely Friggin' Hilarious!!!

Rick Reilly does an awesome job of telling stories not just about himself, but the players (and their caddies) he works for. He pays respect when it is merited (w/ Jack Nicklaus, Tom Lehman, and the blind golfer), has fun when he is supposed to (w/ John Daly), and pokes fun when it is deserved (w/ Tommy Aaron, LPGA golfer). Rick does an admirable job with Casey Martin too, doing a little investigative journalism, and showing both sides of the ADA golf cart law suit. He has a wit that makes this golf book interesting and entertaining. I was laughing out loud! I'm going looking for more Rick Reilly material next chance I get.

Awesome stories, specially the one about Trump.

Great listen, this is my third time listening to it. Great performance by the reader.
