A walk on the wild side of the PGA tour.

The PGA tour is the most interesting subculture in sports, though you wouldn't know it from most golf books. 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. 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 PGA Tour offers fabulous rewards, but its good life does not come without a price.

Alan Shipnuck takes a no-holds-barred look at modern professional golf. Rich Beem, the hero of our story, joined the tour as the most clueless of rookies, a logo-free rube only a couple of years removed from the straight world where he made seven dollars an hour hawking cell phones. Beem took his winnings from big money matches all across the state of Texas and scraped together enough to go out on Tour, but as he would quickly find out, getting to the big leagues is only half the battle. The fun-loving Beem, more likely to pound beers than range balls, first struggled to fit in among the country-club rats who populate the pro golf scene, and then had to fight to survive the cutthroat competition and crushing self doubt.

'Bud Sweat and 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 and caddie.
