Kind of an other spin on the Big 4, Big 6 - but with a twist.
If you could caddie for any PGA tour player, not just for one round or event but to be that guys regular looper - who would you pick?

I'd take Jordan Spieth - sure he has a temper, but he has game, seems like a sure way to bank a great paycheck and you could potentially have the job for 15 -20 years, maybe more.

Loop?????????????

Spieth.

Assuming his health would hold out for a few tournaments, Couples on the Champions Tour.

Justin Rose...just so I could watch the tempo of that swing all day long.  Plus I bet the guy is cool as sh*t to chat with.

Kuchar and Andy Sullivan would also be cool.  Both seem to be pretty pleasant but are always smiling or laughing on the course.  Plus I know Kuch likes to BS a lot so that'd be fun.

Driver: Cobra FlyZ | 9.5 Degrees Draw | Fujikura Pro 63 Tour Spec

I think I'd have to go with either Snedeker who just seems like a super nice guy or Ben Crane.  Wouldn't make much money with Crane but I really like the guy's sense of humor.

Anyone that doesn't WD when the weather gets a little bad like this week. Or, anyone that doesn't pout and shoot high scores because the conditions are not perfect for their game...

You can tell things are changing on the Tour and some rules will have to be put in place. Guys can't just BABY out every time things don't go their way... Bad Draw ? Bad Weather during your Draw... Tough it out, act like a MAN>..

Hate to say it, But Bubba comes to mind and now Matsuyama...

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
