Honestly, I'm not such a super fan of golf that I would normally pick up a book on the topic. But this book by Craig J Gill is about so much more than golf! It's a fascinating, and also challenging, deep dive into the lives of Black caddies in the South. It's a book about American History, Black History, the South, White Supremacy, the human spirit, and factors driving societal change, as well as an entrée into the worlds of the premier golf clubs in the South. This is such a valuable and deeply researched book, and I highly recommend it to anyone even vaguely interested in golf, or those who want to learn more about the complexity of America.
Great content and photographs, quick shipping, wonderful addition to any golf book collection, especially those who love Seth Raynor courses
Great combination of travelogue, sports book, human interest and business intrigue. Well crafted and well written.
I enjoyed how the author weaved the evil influence of money and power (the LIV vs. PGA struggle) with the beauty of the role of golf in Scottish life. The simple virtues of the golfer interacting with what nature has provided will hopefully survive, while the divide within the professional golfing ranks is not sustainable in the long term.
I wish more people knew the history of black golf caddies - and how relevant it is to understanding golf today! I learned so much reading this excellent book and it struck the hard to find balance between informative and interesting. I hope to see more from Dr. Gill!
