520 Oliver Horovitz had been accepted at Harvard, but he
couldn't start for another year. A caddie since he was
twelve and a golfer sporting a 1.8 handicap, Ollie decides
to spend his gap year in St. Andrews, Scotland--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 bug. 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-- only to
have to pack up and leave for Harvard. There, Ollie's new
classmates are the sons of Albania's UN ambassador, the
owner of Heineken, and the CEO of Goldman Sachs.
Surrounded by sixth generation legacies, he feels like a
fish out of water all over again and can't wait to get
back to St. Andrews. Even after graduation, when his
college friends rush to Wall Street, Horovitz continues to
return each summer to caddie on the Old Course. A
hilarious, irresistible, behind-the-scenes peek at the
world's most celebrated golf course--and its equally
famous caddie shack this book is certain to not only
entertain golfers and fans of St. Andrews but also anyone
who dares to remember stumbling into adulthood and finding
one's place in the world.
