About this product
Product Information
A caddie since he was twelve and a golfer sporting a 1.8 handicap, Ollie decides to spend his gap year, pre Harvard, in St. Andrews: a town with the U.K.'s highest number of pubs per capita and home to the Old Course, golf's most famous eighteen holes, where he enrolls in the St. Andrews Links Trust caddie trainee program. Initially, the notoriously brusque veteran caddies treat Ollie like a pest. But after a year of waking up at 4:30 A.M. every morning and looping two rounds a day, Ollie earns their grudging respect. A charming coming-of-age memoir.

Reviews
"Oliver Horovitz is a writer to watch. Even if you don't play golf you will enjoy the Ring Lardner style of Ollie's An American Caddie in St. Andrews. The book has great characters and a wonderful sense of being a fish out of water." Michael Douglas "This is a story you have to read before your next bogey. Oliver has his priorities spot on!" --Gary McCord "An American Caddie in St. Andrews is a funny, charming, coming-of age tale about golf and life ... Horovitz is a gifted writer, and an engaging storyteller ... and he can read putts!" -Huey Lewis "While exposing the insular world of the St. Andrews caddie, Oliver Horovitz discovers a good deal of truth about golf, golfers, and himself. A terrific read. Recommended." - Curt Sampson, author of The War By the Shore, "This poignant, funny memoir by Oliver Horovitz, a Harvard student who finds his calling on the Scottish links, is an intriguing tour of life at the world's most celebrated course." - Parade "With the energy and joy of youth, he describes his 'gap year'…His interaction with the group of 'pretty' university girls, deemed 'Model Caddies,' is wondrous…Horovitz shares his deeply felt memories of golf, girls, and the academy boldly, never taking himself too seriously or being irreverent about the caddie tradition on the time-honored Old Course links." - Publishers Weekly "In this breezy memoir, the younger brother of a Beastie Boy spills insider tales about looping and living in St. Andrews…the characters-bitter old caddies, the author's university pals and his 83yearold uncle-are lovable. So, too, are Horovitz's yarns, which feature latenight antics in the Old Toon and a round caddying for Seinfeld creator Larry David." - Golf Magazine "A must read." -PGA.com "Anyone looking for a good read should look no further than An American Caddie in St. Andrews." - GolfBiz.net "An utterly absorbing, affectionate, and funny narrative of his halcyon days in St. Andrews. I loved his memoir so much I lingered over it, relishing my own memories of that mysteriously captivating town, historic links, and addictive Scottish game, and I recommend Ollie's book to those who've either already walked in the footsteps of Old Tom Morris or have a visit to the home of golf on their bucket list." -Ron Hansen, author of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford "Oliver Horovitz is a writer to watch.
