Caddies Have It In The Bag
Top Gun Caddies descended upon the green green grass of Blythfield Country Club setting the stage for World class golf as they scoped out the terrain prior to their personal LPGA player’s arrival. Sunshine haloed over every day of play and practice while the Caddies ran hither and yon to answer the call before the phones rang. Chris Schwertz was scoping out possible pitfalls, hoofing it in the early dawn near his favorite shoe manufacturer: Merrill. Mindy Kim was a new client for him, in between Zach Byrd and a host of others who rightfully place him at the top. Theresa Durand was having good natured phone fun connecting with her player from England, Felicity Johnson. Jimmy Jones had Jenny Suh in great hands and always at the ready with a laugh . . . Included at no charge. Fans were teeming on the fringes of the course. One die-hard guy waited and waited, hoping to spy a glimpse of Sandra Gal. She was very sweet when I told her so. I then championed her heritage by mentioning that my Dressage saddle and Automobiles are from her neck of the forest. Rebecca Lee Bentham was good naturedly comparing notes of our “matching” Antiqua outfits…if you are colorblind. Lydia Ko and her Mother, Tina, were inseparable on the green making the Mother-Daughter of the year award and wonderful memories of the same with mine.
Louise Friberg birdied two holes in tandem after dining on her first Birdie Bar. Katy Harris took note and asked me for a good luck charm of her own. Upon my return home I was quick to dole the details of the wonders of the LPGA. Unfortunately no one was home except my Blue Chow Chow Puppy whom I named “Bobby Jones.” His take was something like. . . ” Those Chicks are BAD . . . In a good way.
