The moving story of a life in golf as lived by a man who has seen it all. Tom Watson’s lifelong caddy, Bruce Edwards During the 2003 U.S. Open, most eyes were not trained on defending champion Tiger Woods or on Phil Mickelson or Ernie Els. These top golfers and others, even Jim Furyk, who would go on to win the title, all took a backseat to a fifty-three-year-old past champion and his caddy. For most of thirty years, Bruce Edwards has caddied for Tom Watson. In their final U.S. Open together they made history.
A testimonial to the goodness and courage of those men and women whose human concerns surpass the game of professional golf is read with admirable sensitivity and control by the author. This account of the long partnership/friendship of pro golfer Tom Watson and caddy extraordinaire Bruce Edwards, who was fatally stricken with ALS ("Lou Gehrig's disease"), holds your attention as it quietly breaks your heart. If you've never quite understood the allure of a sometimes irrational sport, this inspiring saga of grace under pressure--on and off the course--is also a basic instructional about why this game seduces and retains its many admirers and devotees.
