There was no

distances on sprinkler heads.

So it was literally like a homework project.

Fortunately, I could draw and I'd done a bit of it.

So my handiwork was decent enough to get the seal of approval from Mr. McKenzie.

So every caddy had to make their own yardage book.

That's right.

You didn't get a job until you had your own book.

I've still got mine.

It's framed on the wall at home, actually, along with my little caddy badge.

And there was a bit of swapping of books going on.

It's like, okay, Jim, I'm going to borrow your book just to check these were right.

But it's really hard to explain to people now that the art of caddying has probably changed a little bit lately.

Everybody's got their own yardage guide.

But at that point, we were really trying to figure out how far a person would hit their five iron, three wood, whatever club.

And then it was a case of not saying it's 175 yards or whatever it might have been.

It was literally giving them the 7-iron, 5-iron, 3-wood, whatever that might have been.

So yeah, I felt there was an art involved at that point.

Yeah, that happened too.

Definitely there's some ego stroking that takes place along the way.
