An Irish Caddie - The Life of O'Reilly

Like New First Edition, 2002. Hardback 190 Unmarked pages. John O'Reilly, Professional Golfing Caddie to the Pro's tells all !
To most of the players on the European Professional Golfers' Association Tour, he is simply "Reilly." To Hall of Fame player Seve Ballesteros, however, he is "The Legend." His real name is John O'Reilly, and for over 25 years he was one of European golf's most famous caddies. Some might say "infamous."

The Life of O'Reilly is a chronicle of John's career as a caddie, and it's full of funny stories as only this Irishman can tell them. Like the one about John being in San Francisco and having to get to New Zealand for the World Cup of Golf by going first to Atlanta, then to London, then back to Atlanta, then on to Los Angeles, and then, finally, on to Auckland - for a total of 44 hours of flying!

Or the one about the time he and some fellow caddies were arrested and jailed in East Germany on their way to the German Open in Berlin. Or the one about the Tour pro who, in a fit of bad temper. put his foot through his bag after a bad shot and could not get it out again! And the stories go on and on.

The Life of O'Reilly is a rollicking ride around the world - and the world of profes-sional golf-with one of the game's most interesting characters. No golf library will be complete without it.
