About This Audiobook

Renowned sportswriter Rick Reilly trades his press credentials for caddy bibs, embarking on an audacious experiment to understand golf from the inside out. Despite having zero experience as a caddy, Reilly somehow convinces golf legends like Jack Nicklaus and David Duval, along with colorful personalities including Donald Trump and Las Vegas hustlers, to let him carry their bags during actual tournaments and high-stakes rounds. What unfolds is a series of laugh-out-loud disasters as Reilly fumbles his way through the most demanding job in professional sports while gaining unprecedented access to the minds and methods of golf's greatest players.

Grover Gardner's narration elevates Reilly's already sharp wit, delivering the author's self-deprecating humor and keen observations with perfect comedic timing. Gardner masterfully shifts between Reilly's bumbling commentary and his more insightful analysis of each golfer's unique personality and playing style. The audio format proves ideal for this behind-the-scenes adventure, as Gardner's animated delivery makes listeners feel like they're walking the fairways alongside these larger-than-life characters. His pacing captures both the leisurely rhythm of golf and the frantic energy of Reilly's comedic mishaps.
