ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 

James Y. Bartlett is one of the most-published golf writers of his generation. His work has appeared in golf and lifestyle publications around the world for more than thirty years. He was a staff editor with Golfweek and Luxury Golf magaziones and edited Caribbean Travel & Life magazine for several years during his “golf hiatus” period.

 

Bartlett was the golf columnist for Forbes FYI magazine for the first fifteen years of that publication’s history and wrote a similar column on the golf lifestyle for Hemispheres, the in-flight magazine of United Airlines, for nearly twenty years under the pseudonym of “A.G. Pollard, Jr.”

 

His first Hacker Golf Mystery, Death is a Two-Stroke Penalty, was published by St. Martin’s Press in 1991. Death from the Ladies Tee soon followed and Yeoman House Books proudly continued the series with Death at the Member-Guest, Death in a Green Jacket, Death from the Claret Jug and An Open Case of Death.

 

Bartlett has also written seven nonfiction books. He recently published CaddieWampus, his hilarious tales of carrying the bags of Hall of Fame golfers including Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Ernie Els, Ben Crenshaw and Corey Pavin. Working with the Professional Caddie Association of America, he also wrote Think Like A Caddie/Play Like A Pro, and Mastering Golf’s Toughest Shots, both published by Sellars Publishing.
