    Ready to dive into the juiciest slices of the golfing world? Join us for an unforgettable episode of Caddie Tales, where Mark and Nick explore the fascinating intersection of golf and life through their unique lens.

    In this episode, we tee off with insightful conversations and a hearty dose of humor. Nick admits to sometimes giving questionable advice but confesses to quickly catching his mistakes. This sparks a whimsical debate, leading Mark to humorously campaign for outlawing overused golfing phrases like, "I didn't come all this way to lay up."

    We also discuss players' on-course decisions and the emotional maturity involved in choosing between laying up or taking that high-risk shot. Have you ever wondered about golfing in the rain or braving the cold? We’ve got you covered! Mark and Nick have a fun and flexible climate policy for golfers—think "snow checks" and no scoring when the wind is above 30 mph.

    But that's not all! In the spirit of election day, Mark formalizes his golf leadership dream team, appointing Nick as his "vice president" and cleverly aligning golf club roles with political offices. From handling heavy bags to managing swamped greens, discover how running a golf club isn’t all that different from running a nation. Plus, get our take on quirky golf rules and etiquette that should change, like imposing classes for slow players or nixing 14-slot bags for good.

    Finally, we wrap up with “Heavy Baggage," a heartwarming new segment about supporting others. Listen as Nick shares a Halloween costume story and Mark recounts a moment of encouragement, reminding us that the greens are more than just a place to play—they’re a community.

    So grab your preferred beverage, settle into your favorite chair, and let’s hit the fairways with this insightful, laughter-filled episode of Caddie Tales. The golf course awaits!

  • Prepare to dive deep into the heart of the caddying life as Mark and Nick open up about their hopes for more golf action in the heat of July and August. Curious about how the 4th of July weekend affects a caddie’s grind or how they cope with the physical strain of the season? They’ve got stories and insights you won’t want to miss.

    Join us as Mark recounts a touching round with a golf instructor and his humble wife, and Nick shares memorable loops that make the caddie life so rewarding, including a stellar hole-in-one! Plus, hear about challenging days beaten by rain, corporate loops that thrill, and the loopy laughter of double-looping tales.

    Ever wondered what it feels like to have the backing of a tight-knit caddieshack community or to face personal struggles head-on? Mark’s got you covered with his reflections on substance abuse, the power of support, and the joy of achieving goals against the odds. We'll also tap into the delicious side of the course with favorite turn window snacks and the hopes for more injury-free, goal-crushing loops.

    So, grab your caddie bib, lace up those golf shoes, and join us for an inspiring and spirited episode of Caddie Tales Podcast. Whether you’re a golf aficionado or a fellow caddie listener, this episode is packed with camaraderie, gratitude, and the relentless pursuit of golf greatness!
