Bagman Bruce dug deep on the fairway to heaven

Author John Feinstein learned a little about golf and a lot about life in his new book on the late Bruce Edwards. Michael Moynihan finds out how.

CADDY FOR LIFE is the story of the late Bruce Edwards, who was well-known in professional golf circles as Tom Watson's caddy.

Author John Feinstein, famous for books like A Good Walk Spoiled, had other projects in the offing when Edwards approached him about writing the book and was initially reticent about chronicling Edwards' life, particularly as the caddy had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - Lou Gehrig's disease - a progressively debilitating illness which killed Edwards in April 2004.
