A Wee Nip at the 19th Hole: A History of the St. Andrews Caddie

Rating:
Summary: boring, unfocused, poorly written
Review: don't expect much entertainment or insight from this book. how much lore of dead caddies from the 19th century can you stand?

Rating:
Summary: A disappointing and difficult read!
Review: I found this book to be a disappointingly sparse and sometimes unintelligible history of St. Andrews and its caddies. The author unfortunately presumes that the reader is intimately familiar with both the golf course layout and the native language of it's caddies. Consequently there are no helpful maps or diagrams included and frequent referral to the glossary is an awkward but necessary expedient to reach a degree of understanding. Sadly under this burden the folksy stories lost their charm. To maximize your pleasure, I recommend that you keep a " wee nip" at your side during the reading of this very short work.

Summary: Great
Review: This book contains everthing form boring truth to hilarious comedy. There is more of the later making this a documentary book that you can't pass up.

Review: This is a thoroughly enjoyable book about the caddies ofSt. Andrews Royal & Ancient Golf Club. The pictures and storiesbring back memories of my visits to St. Andrews and playing the course with a caddie, of course. Thank you my dear friend Richard for pursuing your dream & putting this book in print. Well done! Until we meet again - Lang may your lum reek.
