Alan Shipnuck takes a no holds barred look at modern professional golf. Bud, Sweat Tees is a sometimes bawdy, often hilarious, and always unpredictable account of a strange and magical year in the lives, on and off the course, of golfer Rich Beem, winner of the 2002 PGA Championship, and not so faithful caddie and sidekick, Steve Duplantis. Visits to strip bars, gambling, drinking, and groupies are all mentioned in this humorous book.
