Summary:
Tom Watson's caddy; Bruce Edwards is his best friend and probably played a big role in most of his wins on Tour. Nearing the end Tom's career on the PGA Tour and transitioning to the the Champions Tour (50 and over) Bruce came down with ALS. His muscles started to deteriorate and he only had 6 months to left to live. Bruce Edwards died on Aprill 8th 2004. Tom has now started a foundation in Bruce's name and is now trying to find a cure for this terrible disease.
Review:
This book was a very inspirational story. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes golf or even sports books. It made me realize that you don't really know what you have until its gone so don't take people or things in your life for granted.
Quote:
"I just what to walk up eighteen with Tom on a Sunday at this place one more time; if I can do that then I'll be happy". This quote really stuck out to me because Bruce really had no time left and he just wanted to finish his life on a golf course with his bestfriend.

ReplyDeletethis sounds like a good book. I like sports books and stuff like that so I might read it.
The book sounds great. I want to read this book right now. It sounds very inspirational. If I were to be Tom Watson and lose your caddy and as a friend, I would be really heartbroken. The quote is really sad because he was saying that it might be his last time caddying for his friend for this tournament. I think this book will interest me because I love golf and I am passionate about golf.

This book through the description and review looks very good and inspiring. I feel I would like this book if I read it. I might have to add this one to my list of books I want to read but probably won't. It seems like this book will make someone take time to really think about the quality of life and how it could be all over in 6 months. I really liked to quote you used because it shows that even though Bruce Edwards was dying, he still would do anything to be with his best friend on his favorite place on the earth. - Sean Mackey
