 My son read it the day before he played Pebble -- and loved it! February 24, 2006

I gave this to my son to read before he played Pebble Beach a couple of weeks ago. While playing, the caddies talked to him about stories of the famous and infamous reported in the book. It made the experience even more fabulous. He gave the book -- and the Pebble experience -- rave reviews.
Entertaining and interesting book about Pebble Beach February 8, 2006
A well-written and enjoyable book with plenty of interesting history and insight about Pebble Beach and those who have experienced it. Perspectives from caddies, pro golfers, and celebrities keep the stories exciting and make for a great read. Terrific anecdotes and cool photographs make this a must for any golf library.

Jerry Stewart has written an interesting, fun, easy-to-read history of the "Forgotten Men", the caddies of Pebble Beach Golf Links.
I've enjoyed Jerry's well-written, informative articles in The Monterey County Herald for years and was eager to read his first full-length book. The stories of the colorful caddies, the famous folks they assisted and Pebble Beach are very enjoyable. It's easy to think of a caddy as someone who simply carries golf clubs, but, as you will see, at Pebble Beach the role of the caddy is so much more! Also, there are many photographs in the book to bring the people to life.
Everyone from scratch golfers to par 3'ers (like me) to non-golfers will enjoy the stories Jerry tells.
