Description

John Dunn never expected that his summer job as a caddie at the local course in Connecticut might turn into something more. The lifers who plied the loops were an ensemble of misfits and degenerates who made the caddie yard look more like a gambling hall than a country club. But Dunn came of age in those yards and on those courses, and the magnetism of the game and the lifestyle proved irresistible. One adventure after another kept him coming back summer after summer, until he found himself migrating with the seasons, looping at some of the most exquisite and exclusive golf locations in the world. Dunn crisscrossed the country on his own big loop, working inside the privet hedges while camping on the mountains, following the back roads and stumbling across unexpected moments of profound natural beauty, and embracing the freedom of what he calls the last vagabond existence in America, all while trying to decide whether to quit the loop and get a real job. Maybe next season...

About the Author

I've been writing for golf/travel magazines for years and working as a caddie at clubs and resorts around the country and in Scotland to support my travel and writing. I've been very lucky to travel for months every year in between the winter and summer golf seasons and while I often felt like I was working to save for these trips, my every day life living and working in amazing places like Aspen Colorado, Malibu California, Bandon Oregon, the Hamtpons, St Andrews Scotland, Augusta Georgia, etc has often been as interesting and inspirational as my "travels". In fact, my everyday life often felt like traveling as I moved around so much and spent my afternoons and evenings and days off exploring my new homes... finding surfing and camping spots and hiking trails, great restaurants and coffee shops and dive bars. My life never felt routine and in the end it was my "day job" that became the subject of my first book - "Loopers - A Caddie's Twenty Year Golf Odyssey".I am now writing my second book "Golf My Way Home" about a summer I spent golfing and hitchhiking across the country to raise money and awareness to fight pancreatic cancer after my dad was diagnosed with the disease.
