    The funniest and most popular sportswriter in America abandons his desk to caddy for some of the world's most famous golfers-and some celebrity duffers-with hilarious results in this New York Times bestseller. Who knows a golfer best? Who's with them every minute of every round, hears their muttering, knows whether they cheat? Their caddies, of course. So sportswriter Rick Reilly figured that he could learn a lot about the players and their game by caddying, even though he had absolutely no idea how to do it. Amazingly, some of the best golfers in the world-including Jack Nicklaus, David Duval, Tom Lehman, John Daly, Jill McGill of the LPGA tour, and Casey Martin-agreed to let Reilly carry their bags at actual PGA and LPGA Tour events. To round out his portrait of the golfing life, Reilly also persuaded Deepak Chopra and Donald Trump to take him on as a caddy, accompanied the four highest-rolling golf hustlers in Las Vegas around the course, and carried the bag for a blind golfer. Between his hilarious descriptions of his own ineptitude as a caddy and his insight into what makes the greats of golf so great, Reilly's wicked wit and an expert's eye provide readers with the next best thing to a great round of golf.

    When a group of middle-class buddies obsessed with golf set up a bet to see who can finagle their way onto the nearby private course, their friendship is tested in ways they had never expected in this humorous novel from Rick Reilly, one of America’s most popular sportswriters.   Missing Links is the story of four middle class buddies who live outside of Boston and for years have been 1) utterly obsessed with golf and 2) a regular foursome at Ponkaquoque Municipal Course and Deli, not so fondly known as Ponky, the single worst golf course in America. Just adjacent to these municipal links lies the Mayflower Country Club, the most exclusive private course in all of Boston and a major needle in their collective sides. Frustrated by the Mayflower''s finely manicured greens and snooty members, three of Ponky''s finest and most courageous—Two Down, Dannie, and Stick—set up a bet: $1,000.00 apiece, and the first man to somehow finagle his way on to the Mayflower course takes all. Lying, cheating, and forgery are encouraged, to put it mildly, and with the constant heckling and rare aid of Chunkin'' Charlie, Hoover, and Bluto--a few more of Ponky''s elite--the games begin. One of the three will eventually play the Mayflower''s course, but their friendships--and everything else--will change as various truths unravel and the old Ponky starts looking like the home they never should have left.

    Rick Reilly hat Donald Trump über 30 Jahre beim Golfspiel beobachtet. Sein Buch über dessen Verhalten beim Sport ist ebenso witzig wie erhellend. Wie man Golf spielt entblößt, wer man ist. Der bekannte Sport-Journalist und Golf-Enthusiast Rick Reilly hat Donald Trump viele Jahre auf dem Golfplatz erlebt, und schildert in seinem Buch urkomisch die Raffinesse und Kaltschnäuzigkeit, mit der sich Trump beim Gentleman-Sport auf alle nur erdenklichen Weisen einen Vorteil zu verschaffen weiß. Wenn es etwas gibt, was in Trumps Welt auf keinen Fall passieren darf, dann eine Niederlage – und sei es beim Spiel mit Tiger Woods. Reilly weiß zudem, was hinter dem Einreiseverbot für Araber steckte (Golf!), warum Trump und Merkel sich nicht verstehen (Golf!) und warum Trump acht Ziegen besitzt (Golf!). Ein unverzichtbares Buch, das mehr sagt als jede politische Analyse.Rick Reilly, geboren 1958, ist ein bekannter Sportjournalist in den USA. Dort hat er bereits zehn weitere Bücher veröffentlicht, von denen viele Bestseller waren. Er arbeitet für ESPN, ABC Sports und schreibt für die Sports Illustrated. Bereits elf Mal wurde er als NSSA National Sportswriter of the Year ausgezeichnet, und zudem mit dem Damon Runyon Award für herausragende Beiträge zum Journalismus geehrt.

Can the big man''s innocence survive the charms of the big show?
