I think if I would have grown up living in one spot as a kid I would have caddied more, but that never worked out for me.
Also played a lot of golf in high school in college so I really didn't get to caddy too much until after I came home for the
summer in college. I would caddy on weekends and even did it a few years after I graduated college. Did most of my
loops at Merit Club in Libertyville. Nice course and saw a few celebrities out there including Michael Jordan, BJ Armstrong,
Gayle Sayers, Bill Murray, Betsy King, and Sandra Day O'Connor. Also was a starter at Midlane in Wadsworth one summer
but didn't really care for that much. Hard to get to work before the sun came up when out late the night before.

When I was 14 I caddied about 3 weeks at Westmoreland in Skokie. My season ended when I was hit by a car and broke my collar bone. I never returned.

I wonder if my life would have turned out completely different had that not happened.

Smoking

Everybody remembers the old school photographs of the greats like Jack and Arnie puffing down on a cig. While you may not see it happen on TV anymore, it totally still exists on tour. I would say that at least 20% of the tour still smokes on the course. Not many of the big names do it anymore, they get too much pressure from their sponsors to quit. While 20% of the players may smoke, 75% of the caddies do. One thing that it actually does help with is getting the wind direction. Unlike grass that is difficult to tell which way a light breeze is blowing when you throw it up, cigarette smoke always goes with the wind and is actually a pretty helpful tool. (I wouldn’t know though).
