Summary: Off-the-Wall, Close-Up Look at Famous and Unusual Golfers
Review: There's an old saying in business about how if you want to really find out about someone . . . play golf with them. Golf is such a difficult game for most people that it brings out character and personality flaws pretty quickly. A book built around that concept would have been amazing. We all see a lot of golf coverage and some people have the chance to attend tournaments. But it's a long-distance observation, and most people look about the same from a distance . . . except for how fast or how slowly they play, facial expressions and whether they sling their clubs or not in frustration. Not surprisingly, Who's Your Caddy reveals a lot about the on-course and off-course characteristics of Tommy Aaron, John Daly, Donald Trump, Tom Lehman, David Duval, bettor Dewey Tomko, Jack Nicklaus, meditation and health expert Deepak Chopra, Casey Martin, comic Bob Newhart, LPGA star Jill McGill and blind golfer Bob Andrews. The professionals come off best in these revealing portraits. If the book had focused on the character of golf stars and legends, this would have been at least a four star book. However, Mr. Reilly's attention wandered off into famous venues (all the stars you can see at Bel-Air), the sexual characteristics of those involved (John Daly's equipment and the sleeping partner habits of LPGA golfers and caddies), Bob Newhart's comedy routines, the humiliations of being Annika Sorenstam's sister, Deepak Chopra's advice for feeling warmer on cold days and caddy language . . . among other random destinations. In addition, he decided to play the role of caddy to get close to the golfers, and provides way too much detail about how incompetent he was at his task. I also found the book to be flawed by a flip sense of humor that sometimes offended my taste such as the comment about how "Guys like Harrick would rather tongue-bathe Osama bin Laden than give up caddying." For those who like random gossip, this will be a four or five star book . . . because that's basically what the book is. I enjoyed the sections on John Daly, Tom Lehman, David Duval, Jack Nicklaus, Casey Martin and Bob Andrews. If you decide the read the other sections, be prepared for a lesser quality experience with occasional laughs . . . depending on your sense of humor more than the author's writing. As I finished the book, I realized that it annoyed me that Mr. Reilly took up caddying without really trying to learn how to do it. He started at the Masters with no experience and didn't do very well. He didn't seem to improve much . . . even with experience. I thought he showed a fundamental disrespect for his craft, the game and for the golfers he served by taking this approach. Thinking about my reaction, I thought about the responsibility we all have to do our best to serve others when that is our task. I'll try to do it much better after reading this book.

Summary: Dripping with tears of laughter!
Review: This book is a great look at the life of a caddy, or at least what its like to be one for the first time, and it pokes fun at some of the most famous people we know. Donald Trump, John Daly and Jack Nicklaus are just a few of the people who agreed to let Rick Reilly caddy for them. I grabbed this book and could not put it down, much to the distress of my teachers! If you enjoyed this book, you'd probably like "A NAsty Bit of Rough" by David Feherty, or "The Putt at the End of the World," a book compiled by several authors.

Summary: Avoid at all cost...an unplayable lie
Review: This is a stinker of a book. It has little or nothing to do with caddying for the rich and famous or not so. It has to do with Reilly telling stories out of school about everyone he "loops" for. The idea is good. The writing is crap. Pure and simple. A triple bogey. Just awful. I won't even loan or give this book to someone. It goes into the wastebasket.

Review: This is one book you will want to read over and over. An absolute riot in some places, poignant in others. You feel as if you were walking alongside the characters (and I do mean characters!).

Summary: Most entertaining
Review: This is one of the most entertaining books I've read in quite some time. If you golf or just spectate, you are not in for disapointment. This book will by all means keep your attention, I couldn't put it down. The only disapointment was that it ended so fast.

Summary: Hilarious
Review: This was the first time I had read any of Rick Reilly's books. He has got to be one of the funniest people I have ever read. This is a fast read but one where you immediately think of golf friends who would enjoy it as much as you.
