Customer Reviews

Great read for every golfer

If you want to feel like you're right there in the middle of wonderful golf stories, this is the book for you.

The Last Blue Collar Golfers

Caddies are the forgotten Sherpas of the golf world. But without them, the lore of the game would be lost. Mr. Links brings these characters to life with humorous vignettes and colorful tales.

This book was great.

This book was exactly what I expected, based on Mr. Links' first novel. It was funny, insightful, sometimes sad but always filled with very interesting and very memorable characters, with names like Echo Montgomery and Roadmap Jenkins. I must state that I am not an avid golfer, but I truly enjoy Links' style. After each story in the book, I felt as if I had just met two or three new, and unusual but amusing, individuals. Golf does not have to be your life to enjoy Riverbank Tweed, but, if you are a golfer, I am sure you will love this book even more.

A Must for Avid Golfers

A great light read - invokes great memories of the game.
