When it comes to the game of golf, I'm a dilettante. However, like most people familiar with the 'big' names in the game, I know who Tom Watson is. I didn't know who Bruce Edwards was sadly until he was diagnosed with ALS - aka Lou Gehring's disease.

I've been a fan of Feinstein's writing from the time I read "A Season on the Brink" and have eagerly devoured more by him. "Caddy for Life" is another stellar effort. He's written a wonderful story about Bruce and his relationship with Tom Watson. One thing I didn't know was that Edwards briefly caddied for Greg Norman. The things you learn...

I truly enjoyed this book and learnt quite a bit about the tour and the fact that caddies are a lot more than the 'guy carrying the bag'. Bruce appears to be a giant amongst the other caddies on the tour - a vertible legend.

Sadly, Edwards lost his battle with ALS earlier this year (April 2004). However, this is a beautiful tribute to him and his legacy. I laughed and cried throughout the book. I know Bruce's legacy will live on - both on and off the links.
