"Caddy Days"

I just got back from playing golf.  Snappy club, snappy caddies, snappy everything.

On the eighteenth green, I handed my caddy $140.

As I forked over a wad of twenties, I flashed back to my caddy days.  $4.75 and a 'caddie special' hotdog.

At La Grange Country Club.  A lovely club in my hometown.

Let’s back up a second.

I still hold two records in my town as a kid.  

One, as a pitcher in Little League -- for beaning 22 batters in a single season.  That’s pretty good aim when you consider I only got to pitch six games in a season with six-inning games.  

And some of the games, they pulled me out because I already beaned too many kids.  

.

I stunk as a pitcher, but let’s just say I put the fear of God in anybody stepping in that batter’s box.

The other record is for being the “worst all-time caddy at La Grange Country Club.”
