Other Books by James Y. Bartlett
As a journalist, James Y. Bartlett was one of the most-published writers of his generation, publishing hundreds of articles in dozens of magazines.
​
As a novelist and non-fiction writer, Bartlett has been no less productive. In addition to his fiction series, Bartlett has published a number of other fictional and non-fictional books.
Writing under a pseudonym, James Y. Bartlett tells a noirish tale starting with a tunnel collapse in Boston's infamous Big Dig project.
​
The story moves to the gated Cape Cod community of Serpent Point, where the wealthy neighbors -- all connected to the Big Dig incident -- include a randy U.S. Senator about to make a run at the White House, a notorious Boston mob boss worried about his lovely teenaged daughter, and a famous old musician who now is slave to his perverted desires.
​
And it's a young boy named Tiger who drives the story to its shocking end.
​
During his career as a golf journalist, James Y. Bartlett went through his 'George Plimpton' phase, when he volunteered to caddie for some of golf's greatest players.
He started looping for Jack Nicklaus, in a story written for Forbes FYI magazine, followed by his tale of caddying and playing 18 with Arnold Palmer.
He went on to loop for Ben Crenshaw, Ernie Els and Corey Pavin, the last at the King Hussein tournament in Morocco.
Caddiewampus tells these stories and includes other pieces Bartlett wrote about caddies and the looping life.
And don't miss the absolutely true story one caddy told about looping for Donald Trump, years before he ran for President.
