Welcome back to another episode of the Caddie Tales Podcast! In this week’s show, Mark and Nick gear up for a brand-new caddie season. The excitement is palpable as they swap stories about battling brutal spring winds, the rhythm of returning to the course after an off-season, and how caddying mirrors the anticipation and nerves of opening night in the theatre. Nick, now a seasoned caddy and trainer, shares insights from working with rookies and reveals the most common early hurdles for new loopers.
Together, Mark and Nick set ambitious goals—and a few lighthearted wagers—for loops walked, bags of beef jerky devoured, rain days survived, and even how many times they get hit by stray golf balls. The episode is full of playful banter, honest reflections about the challenges of the job, and gratitude for the camaraderie that brings everyone back to the caddie shack each spring. Whether you’re in it for the golf wisdom, the behind-the-scenes caddie life, or just to find out which snack reigns supreme on the course, this episode is packed with humor, heart, and insights about golf and life. So grab your Zero Restriction rain gear and get ready for another season of stories from the fairways—because, as Mark and Nick remind us, there’s always a next shot and endless opportunities ahead.
