BASES (British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences) Magazine "The Sport and Exercise Scientist" Issue 14 December 2007 p.28: "This is an original book covering a hitherto unexplored area. Psychology has a reputation for jargon, yet this book conveys the information in a clear ad readable manner, complemented by caddies comments, anecdotes and experiences; this includes substantial input and insight from Steve Williams - the man carrying the bag of the No1 player in the world, Tiger Woods. This is first-class attempt at addressing the job of a caddy in golf and I would thoroughly recommend it to all golfers, as there are lessons for everybody. Caddies have one of the toughest jobs in golf trying to satisfy an often moody, tense and agitated boss, who is looking to blame anybody accept himself. Caddy-Talk looks and succeeds at tackling this difficult job. Recreational and professional golfers can learn many important lessons from this book. 9/10 - Reviewed by Alan Feltham Director of Sporting Performance Ltd - serving professional golfers for 12 years |
