A reader from Livonia, Michigan , 17 August, 1998 1 out of 5 stars
A disappointing and difficult read!
I found this book to be a disappointingly sparse and sometimes unintelligible history of St. Andrews and its caddies. The author unfortunately presumes that the reader is intimately familiar with both the golf course layout and the native language of it's caddies. Consequently there are no helpful maps or diagrams included and frequent referral to the glossary is an awkward but necessary expedient to reach a degree of understanding. Sadly under this burden the folksy stories lost their charm. To maximize your pleasure, I recommend that you keep a " wee nip" at your side during the reading of this very short work.

cwalter@prodigy.net from Tampa, Florida , 23 June, 1998 4 out of 5 stars
All things considered he hit his mark
Very enjoyable reading, particularly the quotations in the various sections. The book flows very easily and the sense of humor behind the enterprise is excellent. However, I find too many inaccuracies in the information presented. The inaccuracies are not enough to reduce the pleasure of reading this book. But do not use this as an ultimate source for settling a bet.
