Charlie McLeod fled his home in Pittsburgh and went west by bus and train until he eventually ended up within sight of the Golden Gate Bridge and on the edge of a golf course. Needing work he became a caddy and a favourite of the rich who like to bet on golf matches. Charlie had been a golfer - a good golfer - many years ago and he found himself drawn back into the sport, somewhat unwillingly. ''The Back Nine'' is the story of how Charlie finds himself amongst all the misfits in the profane world of the caddy shack, the competitive setting of the golf course and sees the promise of a life away from the game.
