Offered here is a 1935 first edition of Candid Caddies by Charles Graves and Henry Longhurst.  Longhurst, a British golf writer and commentator is, of course, best remembered by American audiences for his calls at the 16th hole of the Masters Tournament. The most famous of those calls no doubt was Jack Nicklaus' 40-foot birdie putt that led to victory in 1975. Longhurst's call of the putt - "My my.... in all my life I have never seen a putt quite like that!”  This book collaboration with Graves contains wonderful illustrations and is in overall good condition with the dust jacket included.
