Summary:
Golfers generally seek wisdom, instruction, inspiration, and sympathy
from their reading on the game. A Wee Nip tees up something else:
charm. A thoroughly delightful and spirited romp through the
subculture of St. Andrews's caddies, it fondly chronicles how toting
bags at the game's hallowed birthplace grew from the province of
scoundrels--some of whom literally fell down drunk on the job--to a
corps of thoroughly knowledgeable professionals. Written with flair
and obvious affection by the links' current caddie manager, Richard
Mackenzie, A Wee Nip at the 19th Hole is both a history and
reminiscence, and, despite its wealth of photos and lore, it is a
volume easily light enough to shoulder on your own.
