This review is from: Four Iron in the Soul (Paperback)

i am not a golf fan and the closest i have ever got to the game,is the pitch and put at whitby,but never the less,i am a fan of lawrence donegans books.
all his books are about living the dream,from california,to ireland to being a caddy at a golf tournament.four iron in the soul,captures a moment in a mans life when,he actually pushes himself to something he always wanted to do,to partake in a pro golf tournament,sadly not as a golfer,but as the next best thing,a caddy.
even if you are not a golf fan,you can relate to moments in this book,as its a travelling life,interspersed with characters ,you can only meet in a life style like caddying.the books an eye opener,an emotional roller coaster of laughs and tantrums,its a book ,that once you pick up,you won,t put it down till you have read the last page.

Okay, perhaps the title overstates the case a little, but nonetheless this is a surprisingly compelling read. If you like golf at all, and like good writing, this book is for you. Donegan is witty, quick-tongued, and pulls the story along nicely, as one might expect from a pop star (think Lloyd Cole and the Commotions) turned journalist. Caddying for Ross Drummond on the European Tour for a year seems very college-pranky, but after you get over the snark factor and get into the tale you will find (as I did) that the book is hard to put down.
