Average Rating: Rating: - HEY RICK, WHEN IS THE SEQUEL???? I'll admit it, I'm a golf nut. I even belong to the golf nuts society. I just can't get enough golf!!! At the same time, I am tired of reading about instructions and golf getaways and etc. I want to know what goes on inside the minds of the golfers I watch week after week. Who's Your Caddy gives you that and so much more. This book takes the reader on a pleasant journey through the personalities of such greats as Jack Nickalas and Tommy Armour and provides a candid look at other well knowns like David Duvall, John Daly, Casey Martin and Tom Lehman. Perhaps the most intriguing chapters are those of the Blind Golfer, Jill McGill and Donald Trump. Rick Reilly has done a spectacular job getting inside the minds and provides the reader with an indepth look and what so many call -- Golf Robots. Its a fun and easy read. Guaranteed to please anyone who loves the game!!!!!!!! Rating: - Very Funny Book! I found this book to be a quick read (took me a weekend to read 250+ pages) and very enjoyable. I give it four stars on account of the people that Reilly interviewed while he walked the loop with them. My personal favorite was just how much of a redneck John Daly was. I cannot begin to explain some of this man's humor in life unless you read this book. After reading this book, you also realize just how nice Tom Lehman and Casey Martin are, and just how full of themselves Jack Nickalus and Donald Trump are. I found most the humor to be very good, but it just lacked the hook to really pull me in. There were some good moments though, including Reilly's constant problems with the golf bag and how easily he pisses golfers off. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick laugh and one who wants to get an insight on walking with some of the pros on the PGA, but I also found that this book wouldn't win the "Most Humorous Book of the Year" award. A good read for most, especially fans of SI and Reilly's work. Rating: - Better Than the Back Page of Sports Illustrated First, a disclaimer. I think Rick Reilly is one of the most creative and entertaining sportswriters out there. I thought it before picking up this book, and my impression has been confirmed. I've read interviews about dozens of "golfers." Reilly's genius is his ability to turn those "golfers" into "people." In these short vignettes, Reilly not only gives you some insight into what makes people like John Daly and David Duval tick, but he does it an entertaining, mapcap manner. There are sometimes when Reilly gets a bit over the top, such as when he uses expression like "eat hot titanium," but I can overlook these exaggerations when they serve to move the stories along. I know that I'll pick this book up time and again for light, fun reading.
