Reader reviews for Maybe It Should Have Been a Three Iron: My Year as Caddie for the World's 438th Best Golfer

From the publisher

Maybe It Should Have Been a Three-Iron is the funny and poignant story of one man's search for sporting glory.

Lawrence Donegan had the desire but lacked the talent to be a professional golfer, so he settled for the next best thing--caddying for Ross Drummond, a little-known pro on the European PGA tour, ranking 438th in the world. With self-deprecating humor, Donegan recounts the days and endless nights he spent on the road with Drummond as they existed on a string of meager tournament checks and chased the elusive "big win" much as Don Quixote and Sancho Panza chased windmills.

First line

Ailsa Craig, an uninhabited lump of granite two miles off the coast, watches over the scene like a benign godfather.
