    Can you imagine sitting in the rain watching the water flow of the greens so you could give such accurate reads of the greens to the players. These guys should all have headstones on their graves as they were as much a part of the Masters as the players were.

    Those were probably some amazingly knowledgeable caddies

    It’s really a shame it not only took 23 years for Jack Nicholas to find out but how other golfers that had caddies there that helped them win a major in golf haven’t helped these families with headstones for their fathers. Most if not all these guys are multi millionaires a head stone is literally nothing to them. I used to be a caddie at hose this story certainly hits home. Glad Jack is doing his part. I hope he raises more awareness and makes this his cause. These men deserve to not be forgotten!😢

    I think the coolest thing would be to give the surviving caddies (if they want) a tee time on the first day when Augusta National opens its playing season in the late summer/early fall (I read somewhere the course is closed during the summer for maintenance and repairs).

    It's wild to see the caddies laying down around the greens. They won't let anyone lie down at Augusta anymore.

    Thank you Augusta National and all the past masters champions who contributed to those caddies head stones who passed on. That was class. God bless.

    I really hope those men were tipped well by the players.....particularly the guys who won.

    Nicklaus is a good man, to do that. This is a great story about the local caddies.
