Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Professional golfer Bobby Reeves has fallen far--off the mini tours and into jail for larceny. Materializing out of nowhere to bail him out, Stewart Jones sets up as Reeves' rescuer, cook, concierge, and caddy. Suitably sage about what Reeves must do to pull himself and his game together (quit drinking, quit thinking about golf mechanics), Jones is also cryptic about his past, which is enough to bamboozle the history-ignorant Reeves; however, the loud hint of his surname won't be missed by Veron's golf-playing readers. That setup permits Jones to instruct Reeves in exemplary moments in golf history, and the famous courses Reeves plays on (Augusta and Pebble Beach, among others) allow a comfortable hole-by-hole narration of his ascent to the PGA tour and the U.S. Open. Reeves and Jones also have memorable encounters with contemporary golf masters, who marvel at Reeves' success with his techno-retro 1920s clubs. This is Veron's third mystical-toned golf novel and should have no trouble attracting duffing fans. Gilbert Taylor

Product Description
Named “master of fiction” by USA Today, and Travel + Leisure Golf Magazine calls him “The John Grisham of Golf.”
Now, J. Michael Veron returns with his most intriguing work yet….
The caddie occupies the most unique position in all of sports. He is a coach who doesn’t have to stay on the sidelines, a waterboy who doesn’t have to wait for time-outs, a psychologist who doesn’t have a couch, and a fan who doesn’t have to buy a ticket.
In Bobby Reeves’s case, he’s also a bail bondsman, not to mention a savior who will attempt to help him resurrect his game---and his life---in most unexpected ways. From a jail cell in Baton Rouge to the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, the gifted but troubled golfer and his mysterious caddie travel a remarkable path to great courses and to redemption.
With his trademark style and golf expertise, J. Michael Veron has once again crafted a remarkable golf story.
