Carry Your Own Bag, Says Caddie. This reminds me of the time my buddy Wheels caddied for Sam Snead. At one point, foul-tempered Snead said "what club is it?" Wheels said. "It's 137 yards to the pin". Snead said, "I didn't ask what distance it was, I asked what club to use." Wheels said "9 iron". Snead hit a perfect nine onto the front fringe, 35 feet short of the pin, and said disagreeably, "I thought you said it was a fucking nine iron." Wheels responded, "I cudda made it with a fucking nine. My mom would have hit an eight." Wheels finished the round, and got stiffed on the tip (He got a shiny box of Titleists - which Snead got for free). By the way, this was in the U.S. Fucking Open. (Oak Hill, 1968)
