Steeped in history and lore, the Old Course at St. Andrews is one of the great meccas of golf. And yet, of all the great stories from the most famous eighteen holes in the game, perhaps the most fascinating are those told by and about the legendary St. Andrews caddies. For over two hundred years, caddies have been walking the Old Course, advising players of vastly different abilities, not only on the club to take, but also on the type of shot required. Written by Richard Mackenzie, caddie manager at St. Andrews Old Course and a former caddie himself, A Wee Nip at the 19th Hole is filled with the written and oral records of these great sages.
Filled with vintage photographs and documents, A Wee Nip at the 19th Hole traces the significant contribution caddies made to the game. It also features profiles of characters like Old Tom Morris, Trap Door, Poot Chisholm, and Stumpie Eye. Written with flair and obvious affection for this fascinating subculture of caddies, A Wee Nip at the 19th Hole is both a history, a reminiscence, and a celebration.
