Celebrated for both his novels and memoirs, Don J. Snyder is also the recipient of a James Michener Fellowship. A story of love and dedication, Walking with Jack chronicles Snyder's dream to caddie for his son Jack's pro golf tour debut.

His journey would finally coincide with Jack's own struggles in one of the PGA's toughest qualifying events.
