Does it get any better than this for a sports fan?
Tiger could have been the best caddy in the world
Recently, John Abel had Tiger Woods caddy for him. And Tiger like a true sport went the whole hog as a caddy – carried the bag, handed over the clubs, the balls and the towel, held the flag when Abel putted and offered the usual caddy advice on what club to use and what line to follow on putt. While he is expected to do a good job of the last task, he did not disappoint Abel with any of the others either.
John Abel was truly in Sports Fans’ heaven
I would love to be the guy on the green
The unique role of the caddy in golf was the singular reason John Abel got to experience this – I don’t there is anything else which can quite compare to this
No other sport has anything like a caddy – someone who is completely involved in the game without any involvement in the playing part – someone who makes you feel like a king
The best you can do in other sports is be coached by a superstar player or play with one. But what fun is it to play with someone who is light years ahead of you in terms of talent. Would you really enjoy Tendulkar smacking you all over or Roger serving ten aces in a row?
I wouldn’t.
