Oliver Horovitz is a former Harvard student.

But before formel enrolment into one of America’s leading universities Horovitz had 12 months up his sleeve so he headed to the Home of Golf at St. Andrews where he became a caddy.

‘An American Caddy In St. Andrews’ by Oliver Horovitz.

Ollie was no stranger to the role having been a caddy since aged 12 and in the process of getting himself down to a handicap of 1.8.

So Ollie, as he’s affectionately called, enrolls in the St. Andrews Links Trust caddie trainee program.

Initially, the notoriously brusque veteran caddies treat Ollie like a bug.

But after a year of waking up at 4:30 am every morning and looping two rounds a day on the Old Course, Ollie earns their grudging respect – only to have to pack up and leave for Harvard.

There, Ollie’s new classmates are the sons of Albania’s UN ambassador, the owner of Heineken, and the CEO of Goldman Sachs.

Surrounded by sixth generation legacies, he feels like a fish out of water all over again and can’t wait to get back to St. Andrews.

Even after graduation, when his college friends rush to Wall Street, Horovitz continues to return each summer to caddie on the Old Course.

A hilarious, irresistible, behind-the-scenes peek at the world’s most celebrated golf course—and its equally famous caddie shack—An American Caddie in St. Andrews is certain to not only entertain golfers and fans of St. Andrews.

As well, anyone who dares to remember stumbling into adulthood and finding one’s place in the world should enjoy the book.

An Anerican Caddie in St. Andrews is officially released tomorrow –  March 14th.

The book can be purchased from Amazon.com for $12.99 soft cover and $15.47 hardcover.
