The Caddy Chronicles

pokkari
Forget the glamour and the glory of the golfing demi-gods you see on T.V. This is about the distinctly unglamorous world of the humble club caddy, and those, for better or for worse, that he serves. Seen through the eyes of a disrespected rookie, The Caddy Chronicles is the Scottish answer to Caddy Shack. J.J. hails from County Down, Northern Ireland. He currently lives in Scotland with two very disobedient sets of golf clubs and a laptop. The Caddy Chronicles is his first book and, as well as the other two in the series, he is working on two other writing projects. J.J. McClure is a pseudonym.
