Publisher's Synopsis
Caddies have one of the best views at professional tournaments, especially at the bigger events - the US Open, the Masters, the PGA Championship and the Players Championship - when the drama, pressure and excitement reach a fever pitch.;A player and his caddie are truly a team. The player hits the shots but a caddie does more than simply carry the bag. He or she is a psychiatrist, confidant, advisor, cheerleader, critic and most of all a trusted friend who knows his player's highs and lows, strengths and weaknesses.;This book tells what it was like at The Country Club in 1988 as Curtis Strange duelled head-to-head with Nick Faldo, how 45-year-old Lee Trevino used every bit of his guile and skill to win the PGA Championship at Shoal Creek, and how it felt for young Jackie Nicklaus to walk to victory with his father in the 1986 Masters.;Caddies such as Herman Mitchell, Bruce Edwards, Mike Carrick, Mike Mazzeo, Greg Rita and Angelo Argea have seen many of the finest modern players compete upon the great stages of golf. Their stories take readers inside the gallery ropes and explain what went on behind the scenes in the lead-up to the great golfing prizes.
