The Caddie's Book of Needles hardcover: matte dark-green boards with the title and crest printed in gold

Before you go to Scotland

Tip Anderson, Alfie's seven-iron at Turnberry, and the replies every caddie yard claims as its own.

The Caddie's Book of Needles carries twenty-five true caddie stories, the deadpan two-beat replies the yards in Scotland and Ireland trade, and nearly a hundred needles filed by the moment you'll need them.
