Today and yesterday I read Who's Your Caddy by Rick Reilly for 6 hours and 55 minutes.
In order to write this book, Rick caddied for golfers including Tommy Aaron, John Daly, Donald Trump, Tom Lehman, David Duval, Dewey Tomko, Jack Nicklaus, Depek Chopra, Casey Martin, Bob Newhart, Jill McGill, and Bob Andrews.
The biggest problem was getting people to let him caddy for them since he had never caddied before. Some people (Tiger Woods) would not allow it no matter how many times he asked. Some did. While writing the book he got to live the high life with Donald Trump. He learned how to be at peace with your body from guru Deepak Chopra. He learned the art of gambling in golf from Dewey Tomko, who would bet on just about everything. Most importantly he learned never to take the game for granted from Bob Andrews, a blind golfer, by playing nine holes blindfolded.
Totals: 28 hours and 23 minutes/ 1187 pages
