The Wednesday Caddy Competition at TPC Sawgrass has blossomed into quite an event, with a great deal of money raised for ALS research and lots of laughs for players and caddies alike.
Arguably the best story on Wednesday was when Ray Farnell, Greg Kraft's looper, caught his 9-iron tee shot too heavy and watched it land short of the green into the water.
Farnell tossed the 9-iron to another caddy waiting to tee off, but put a little bit too much mustard on it, and watched it sail over his head and into the water.
Rex Hoggard wrote:
“That was my 9-iron,” a stunned Kraft said. “It’s the same club I hit on the last hole to win in Puerto Rico (in 2007).”
The club – like so many wayward golf balls, 46 of 70 by
mid-afternoon – stayed in the water, but the laughs lasted all
afternoon.
Geoff Shackelford took this snapshot below of Will MacKenzie carrying his own bag. MacKenzie was one of the few players to shoulder the weight.
