![]() In Bud, Sweat, and Tees, Alan Shipnuck takes a no-holds-barred look at modern professional golf. The PGA Tour offers fabulous rewards, but its good life does not come without a price. And in each player's shadow is his faithful caddie - performing a thankless six-figure job that comes with all the security of a handshake deal. The Tour is home to rowdy, randy young men often drunk with money and fame fueled by alcohol and adrenaline, they barnstorm from town to town like rock stars, with all the attendant excesses. ![]() We offer a Price Match Guarantee, and QuickQuote form, to make purchasing quick and easy.The PGA Tour is the most interesting subculture in sports, though you wouldn't know it from most golf books.

This book title, Bud, Sweat, & Tees (Rich Beem's Walk on the Wild Side of the PGA Tour), ISBN: 9780743249003, by Alan Shipnuck, published by Simon & Schuster (June 2, 2003) is available in paperback. Sometimes bawdy, often hilarious, and always unpredictable, Bud, Sweat, & Tees stands as the finest insider sports book since Ball Four. Beem and Duplantis invite us deep into the world of the PGA Tour, exposing the rowdy, randy reality of the most interesting subculture in sports, which has always been a well-protected secret-until now. The result is an intimate portrait of two exceedingly colorful characters. Beem and his hard-living caddie, Steve Duplantis, would find sudden fame and fortune, and Shipnuck enjoyed unparalleled access in chronicling their wild ride-sharing endless drives across the desert and eventful nights at strip clubs, cutthroat golf matches and late-night confessionals at assorted watering holes. Shipnuck began tracking Beem during his rookie year in 1999, when he was a logo-free rube only a couple of years removed from a seven-dollar-an-hour job hawking cell phones. That question is answered in Bud, Sweat, & Tees, Alan Shipnuck's no-holds-barred look at modern professional golf. By the time Beem had stared down Tiger Woods in an epic back nine and then danced a goofy jig on the final green, the sports world was clamoring to know, “Who is this guy, anyway?” Rich Beem became an overnight folk hero with his victory at the 2002 PGA Championship, where he dazzled fans with fearless shotmaking and glib one-liners.
