Hi Everyone! Guy here… I'm going to reply to as many questions / comments as possible for the next couple of hours – so feel free to get them in below!
I loved hearing these stories, especially from the LPGA point of view. Shows how the intensity of LPGA is just as much as the mens tours. Would love to hear more from will
my solution for playing with friends/family that aren't very good….the par 3 course. great place to hone your skill as a newbie while not pissing off anybody playing the "big" course.
Another great podcast!
This was a cool video. Would love to see more with technical stuff from the caddies as well as the stories
@20:20…Rick, having you on the bag made me understand the value of a re-assuring voice…..Guy's expression(I've been encouraging all the time, doesn't that count?!?!?!?!) HA!
One of my favorite episodes. Great job you two
Ricks world is golf and he still isn’t good thank god for the personality
Love your understanding for the position of the ‘new golfer’ Rick.
Sometimes it’s good to get out there and just have fun. Meaning not trying too hard to shoot your best golf. Just hit and enjoy being around each others company. It also helps just golfing with other couples. Stop being such a try hard and golf with your spouse once in awhile. If you don’t, you’ll end up like those guys that get heckled by their wives/gf for golfing too much. 😂
More of guys like this, very entertaining interview. I love hearing the behind the scenes stuff
My suggestion for the partner: have her tee up from a point on the golf course where she has a chance to hit the green in regulation. For a par 4, she might tee up 50 yards behind the 150 yard marker. With a 125 yard drive and a 75 yard approach shot, she can get on the green and have a good pace of play. For par 5s, maybe she starts 250 yards back. On the par 3s, she can take those at 100 yards. Basically, she can "tee it forward" at just the right distance for her.
I havnt played golf in 20 years, 32 years old now, and having my first lesson next week! thanks to you all on the show and all the videos you do. it has changed my life
What a great story teller. 👏. Nice insight to the world of caddies
just call it like it is, caddying used to be way less of an important role because it was almost always done black folk in an era where they were much more heavily discriminated against
LPGA is an orgy
Brilliant, could listen to him all day long particularly as I'm a full time caddie myself, though not on tour.
100% agree that playing more team games and formats would improve the situation for everyone. A tour scramble or texas scramble is a great idea. I agree it's probably more due to the pace of play and the frustration that sets in. Scramble is so great that you rarely have to hit it out of trouble. The most frustrating thing for new players is hitting shots beyond their ability, out of trees, bunkers, thick rough, difficult lies, etc. The scramble format typically eliminates this part of the game.
Love the pod but a bit shorter would be great.
The Dear Rick solution . He gets his wife golf lessons as a present
I shot a 21 on a par 5 today. It was great. 3 on and 18 putts. Yup 18. Ball would go up by the hole and miss and come all the way back down about 25 yards. continue until you sink it. 2 in my group gave up.
Gave up listening too many in roll ads
Great stories and very interesting. Great job boys, looking forward to the video.
Was the letter read at the start signed by James Robinson?
My dads had parkinsons for 20 years now. his not able to get through 9 holes of golf.
I've been playing now for 25 years and dad got my into the game.
If your able to go play a round of golf with your old man. I'd do it straight away. some things you don't realise how much it means before it's gone.
More of THIS please! Love the "inside the ropes" type content.
What an idiot haha if you’ve got a partner that not only lets you play but encourages you to play , you’ve hit the jackpot. Who cares if she’s no good?!
Will Davidson! Looper of The Decade!🏌🏻⛳️
Really like this interview. Great questions. Great insight from Caddy perspective.
Golf with Kyle Berkshire he will teach you to hit bangers
I caddied a 4 round tournament last year.. just to get some experience its quite hard work..! Kudos!..
When we having a match Rick? I could do with a view boost haha!
I understand wanting to spend time with your dad but having a girlfriend or boyfriend that wants to play more golf with you is an incredible opportunity. To say they are not on our level is selfish. I play golf with a ten year old and I don’t try to shoot my personal best I try to help my 10 year old enjoy his round and in the mean time I tweak my game while moving at the child’s pace. The girl friend problem could be solved with a similar attitude. I liked Rick’s comments about the different formats but one way or another quit trying to play for yourself and play for the enjoyment of others.
War Eagle Will.
What a fantastic guest to have on, such a great storyteller.
Golf snobbery is a f@&k up. Thanks for the ideas Rick and Guy
My wife started golfing this year and I suggested let’s play scramble it basically was taken as insult to her game and she has since just quit golf sadly.
Subscribed to both
The only place that you didn't mention the missing lob wedge turning up was on eBay. It's the first thing I thought. I'd love to have a few pints with Will and a group of caddies. I'd imagine some of the stories are priceless.
Would love to see a break 75 with Rick + a tour caddie (caddie walks the course before hand and gets yardages etc) and compare the score to a previous round if its played on a previous break 75 course
great listen!
currently playing 5 times a week, but always find time for you guys
First time here mate this is class it’s like watching the news 👍🏻
