Go inside the ropes with the caddies of the PGA Tour "Most sports have a coach or a manager--somebody to blame when things go wrong, somebody who can call a time-out and make a speech or fine tune something that can turn things around. Not golf. All the player has is his caddie." --"Alaskan" Dave Patterson "It feels like I've been in college for the last 23 years, going out with friends, and having a good time every week. If this isn't the best job in the world I don't know what is." --Tom Thorpe "We were warming up on the driving range on Thursday morning. There weren't many guys out there, but next to me was Gary Player, next to him was Arnold Palmer, and next to him was Jack Nicklaus. Those three guys were hitting balls next to us needling each other. I wasn't paying any attention to my pro, and he probably couldn't blame me. I was hanging on every word coming out of those mouths." --Richard Motacki "When I started out 24 years ago there were a lot of guys escaping society. Today's caddies are college educated and have special skills. You'll find more college degrees carrying the bags than hitting the balls." --Anthony Wilds "Not only did we have so many guys to a motel room that we'd go low score for the day to see who gets the bed, but the last guy out of the shower in the morning had to use the bed sheet to dry off." --Eric Schwarz "Golfers seldom hit a bad shot. Just ask them. It can be dead calm, and the pro could hit his shot a little fat and come up short. If an excuse doesn't come immediately to mind, wait for it. A minute later as you're walking up to the ball you'll feel a little wisp of wind and sure enough he'll say, `I knew it was into the wind.'" --Jeff Kaleita Greg "Piddler" Martin has been a PGA Tour caddy for more than 26 years, and has caddied for Dan Forsman for the past 23 of them.
