Review:

Now I don t know about you, but I always play better with a caddie at my side. Earlier this year, I caddied for the L.P.G.A. Tour player Brittany Lincicome, opening my eyes to how pivotal that job is at golf's elite levels.

So I expected to love reading Think Like a Caddie, Play Like a Pro , and I was not disappointed. There is technical talk, like reading greens and preparing your equipment, but the best advice is gleaned from the inside-the-ropes anecdotes contributed by notable professional caddies. What comes together is a reassuring tutorial in the kind of prudent mind-set, calming thoughts and useful golf insights Don't try to make shots you don't have that make a caddie so invaluable. The reader comes away understanding that we as golfers can rely on our inner caddie to play better golf. You will be nodding your head in agreement, absorbing the wisdom of the caddies Bruce Edwards and Steve Williams. One last tip don t forget the sunscreen. A good caddie always protects himself from the elements. ----New York Times, Bill Pennington,

From the mouths of many of the best Tour caddies, past and present, Think Like a Caddie, Play Like a Pro is a bagful of principles to easily apply to your weekend game. ---- Bob Denney, PGA Magazine
