And again, enjoy this by our guest blogger, Dan:
I learned the game of golf back in the late 60s as a caddie on a nine-hole course in the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts.
I once caddied for a friend of mine Named Eddie in a junior tournament back then. Eddie was a few years older than me and was a spoiled, rich kid. He had a bad temper and often threw clubs when he missed a shot. On one hole he missed a short putt and spun around like a shot-putter and flung his putter back down the fairway. I was tending the pin and had to wait until the other three golfers putted out before I could retrieve it. After several minutes the last putt dropped and Eddie yelled “let’s go!” I totally forgot about his putter and took off after him to the next tee. By the time we got to the next green, I reached for his putter and suddenly realized that I had never retrieved it. I had to run more than 400 yards after it and then back. By the time I returned, Eddie had borrowed one of the other golfer’s putters and missed his par putt. Looking back, the putter got off easy compared to the tongue-lashing I got.
On the PGA tour, nobody had a more celebrated reputation as a club thrower than the late Tommy Bolt. One of his most infamous stories concerned a tournament at Pebble Beach, towards the end of the round, his ball sat 135 yards from the pin and he asked his caddie for a 7 iron. Instead his caddie handed him a 3 iron. Bolt shot the caddie a puzzled look which caused the caddie to reply, “That’s the only club you got left.”
