Starting in the 1930s, the Black caddies of Augusta National walked the course with the world's greatest golfers. This book tells their stories, forever entwined with the history of the game.

  • They used nicknames like Stovepipe, Burnt Biscuits, Skillet, Skinny, and Marble Eye. They worked for presidents of the United States, captains of industry, and the greatest golfers in the world. Their real names were Carl Jackson, Willie Perteet, and Matthew Palmer-and they witnessed every great moment, both private and public, at Augusta National beginning in the 1930s
  • Thrilling first-hand accounts of the greatest moments in golf history, from Gene Sarazen's shot heard 'round the world to Jack Nicklaus winning a record five of his six Masters
  • Read why Nicklaus said he wouldn't trade caddie Willie Pete Peterson for a million dollars and what Willie Cemetery Perteet really thought of President Eisenhower's golf game
  • The Black caddies of Augusta National also endured, in their own ways, the racist social order of the sport and at the same time participated, albeit vicariously, in its many thrills. Ward Clayton documents their stories--history as compelling as the game of golf itself.
  • Includes 30+ photos
