Who's Your Caddy? A Humorous Golf Memoir | Random House Audio

Behind the bag: a funny, insightful golf memoir

When a spirited sportswriter trades the SI desk for a caddy bib, the course becomes a stage for big personalities, bold bets, and intimate moments between shots. Rick Reilly’s adventures swing through actual PGA and LPGA events, pairing high-profile names with candid, affectionate storytelling.

The author’s wit meets a sharp eye for what makes golf tick, delivering scenes that feel both entertaining and relatable. He carries bags for names like Jack Nicklaus, David Duval, Tom Lehman, John Daly, Casey Martin, and Jill McGill, and he even finds himself alongside Deepak Chopra, Donald Trump, and a blind golfer.
