Reviews of Caddies to the Fore
"A fantastic love letter to this magical profession. Impressive in its depth, important as a golfing time capsule. And just great fun. Old Tom would be proud.”
Ollie Horovitz
Author of An American Caddie in St Andrews
"There is no day in golf to rival one spent playing the Old Course in the company of a genuine St Andrews caddie – an experience brought vividly to life in this delightful, lavishly illustrated and often hilarious history of those who have practised the art through the ages.”
Stephen Proctor
Author of Monarch of the Green and The Long Golden Afternoon
“David was, in his heart and soul, caddie, and this shines throughout his wonderful book. From the world of Tom Morris to modern caddies, David’s book is filled with amusing anecdotes and is a touching tribute to a 600-year-old trade in St Andrews and beyond.”
Roger McStravick
Golf Historian, Author and double USGA HWW Book Award winner
"David Coyne has combined caddie history and caddie humor in a way that is sure to delight both golfers and non-golfers alike. Caddies always have the best stories, and this book is absolute proof of that. But this collection is more than tall caddie tales – it’s a great guide on how to play the Old Course, as well as how to get the most out of your visit to the Home of Golf. It’s essential reading for anyone headed to St Andrews, and if that isn’t you, this is a book that will make you feel like you’ve been there.”
