Not as too many great golf stories, but countless great caddy stories. There are a number of members that I have caddied for dozens of times over the last 5 years, so I can be pretty honest with them, which makes things fun. One guy is the worst 15 handicap I have ever seen. He plays to a 15 because half the time he is about a +2 and the rest of the time he is about a 32. He hits his first shot into the rough and he has some trees blocking him. However, he has a tiny little window. He is basically talking to himself outloud and asks "what are the chances I can hit this shot". I quickly reply "50-50". He just shoots me a look like "thanks as*hole" and then proceeds to hit it straight into the tree. Follows up with a duff into the sandtrap on the next shot, then holes out from the sand to save par.
There is also the time the same guy had an easy 4 foot put on 18 to save a bunch of points. If he made it, he got back to even, if he missed, he and his partner lost over $1k. He missed it.
Another time I was caddying for a guest that was absolutely terrible. He hit into a sandtrap on a hole that was at the corner of the property so there were roads on two sides of the whole. On the walk to the hole he is talking about how if he can just get up and down, he can save par. So he settles in for the approx. 15 yard sand shot and takes his fairly full swing. He takes absolutely no sand and picks it clean. The ball sails over the fence, over the trees and right into the middle of the intersection. I don't know how he didn't hit a car. I am usually pretty good at keeping my emotions in check while I am caddying so I don't piss people off, but I couldn't help it on that one. I just started cracking up, using the rake to keep me from doubling over. Luckily the rest of the group followed suit and the guy didn't get too angry.
Its almost caddy season...I can finally start making some money again instead of hemorraghing cash like I'm the federal government. In the first pic I am in the foreground on the right, my best friend in the middle and his little brother on the right. The second pic is my two best friends.
