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.
