Forget the glamour and the glory of the golfing demi-gods you see on T.V. This is about the distinctly unglamorous world of the humble club caddy, and those, for better or for worse, that he serves. Seen through the eyes of a disrespected rookie, The Caddy Chronicles is the Scottish answer to Caddy Shack. J.J. hails from County Down, Northern Ireland. He currently lives in Scotland with two very disobedient sets of golf clubs and a laptop. The Caddy Chronicles is his first book and, as well as the other two in the series, he is working on two other writing projects. J.J. McClure is a pseudonym.

A long-standing promise from a father to his five-year-old son . . . A poignant diary that chronicles the journey When Don Snyder was teaching the game of golf to his young son, Jack, they made a pact: if one day Jack became good enough to play on a pro golf tour, Don would walk beside him as his caddie. Years later, Jack had developed into a standout college golfer, and Don, at the age of fifty-eight, left the comfort of his Maine home and moved to St. Andrews, Scotland, to learn from the best caddies in the world. He worked loops on famed courses like the Old Course and Kingsbarns, fought his way onto the rotation as a full-time caddie, and recorded the fascinating stories of golfers from every station in life. All the while, he lived like a monk and sent his earnings back home. A world away, Jack endured his own arduous trials, rising through the ranks and battling within the college golf system. At times, the question for the teenage athlete wasn’t how to continue . . . but whether to continue at all. Finally, Don and Jack approached the moment when they would reunite—and not only tackle an extraordinarily high level of golf competition but also confront the challenges of a father-son relationship that had inevitably changed since the days when their journey began. Walking with Jack is a truly compelling golf story and a one-of-a-kind narrative that makes you appreciate the lengths to which a father will go to support his son.
