Förlagets beskrivning
Other than an ability to rocket a drive consistently some 300 yards and putt with the touch of a cat burglar, about the only thing that separates the majority of us duffers from the cream of golf's crop is the wise counsel, steadying influence, and trusted partnership that comes from teaming with a Tour-quality caddie. At that level, carrying clubs is the least they do. A good tour caddie is far more psychologist, tactician, and teammate than Sherpa, and Carrick is as good as it gets; president of the Professional Tour Caddies Association, he walked beside Tom Kite for most of Kite's stellar career, including his shining U.S. Open victory in 1992 at Pebble Beach. In Caddie Sense, he shares his secrets. It's as close as most of us will ever come to having a master strategist and technician on our bag.
Filled with an equal mix of anecdotes and advice, Caddie Sense is divided into three sections. The first looks at caddie history and details a caddie's various functions before, during, and after a round. The second explores the complex and marriage-like quality of a caddie's relationship with his or her pro. Then it's off to the course for some practical instruction and guidance for how to serve as your own full-service caddie, everything from understanding your clubs, the course, the swing, and the weather to the necessity of good yardage books, realistically assessing your distances, and keeping yourself keep cool when emotions get hot. All through the journey, Carrick speeds up the pace of play--and the fun of his book--by letting us inside the ropes to eavesdrop on his own experiences with Kite. It makes for an altogether entertaining and instructional loop. --Jeff Silverman
