Memorable Loops and Unforgettable Drives: Lessons From a Wild Caddie Week
Welcome back to another episode of Caddie Tales! In today’s show, host Mark and his trusty co-host Nick dive into how the unpredictability of life on the golf course mirrors the twists and turns we encounter off the fairways. Fresh off the Fourth of July holiday, the guys share reflections on family time, working holiday loops, and how the vibe at the course shifts during those quieter stretches.
Mark opens up about a wild week of caddying—think unexpected player requests, misjudged first impressions, and some of the most memorable (and downright surprising) rounds he’s ever looped. From guiding a complete golf novice through a grueling front nine to witnessing an unexpected transformation into a long-drive slugger, Mark tells a story that proves you never really know what a day on the links will bring.
Nick jumps in with stories of his own, including helping guests navigate quirky golf games and sharing honest “good caddie, bad caddie” reflections from the week. The episode is packed with humor, humility, and a reminder that every round—no matter how it starts—offers a chance for connection, laughter, and maybe even a new personal best.
So, whether you’re a fellow looper, a weekend golfer, or just looking for some uplifting stories from the world of golf, settle in for a conversation about the lessons we learn between the tee and the green—and why there’s always hope (and maybe a laugh) on the next shot.
