Ep183: Feedback: Nick and Mark Reveal 'What We Paid Our Caddies' on Tour, and What is 'Chiselling' in the Pro World ?
Description
Feedback pod today and we start with a comment from Jeff who watched the Abu Dhabi tournament at the weekend and found some of Wayne 'Radar' Riley's commentary on Aaron Rai amusing. We chat about Radar and how much Nick and Mark love him.
Peter has a comment about players on the Champions Tour using carts. He doesn't like it. What's Nick and Mark's view?
Clinton is keen about what caddies get paid, and Nick and Mark outline what they used to pay their caddies when they were on tour, and how the bonuses worked. And they explain what 'chiselling' is in the caddy world. Mark says that for the most part caddies aren't making huge money, but the payday comes when a good, or rising, player spots them and they can then hitch their wagon to that player.
And we discover what a 'mystery' is in the pro environment. Nick talks about the biggest 'mystery' that ever happened to him, and Mark talked about the 'mystery' that nearly happened to him.
And after the turn.....bad language alert....we have a question on the, ahem, Yips from wolfpacker Vek who has an issue. Nick and Mark discuss what Vek might do, and tell a great story about Brett Ogle and his yip phase.
Keep your questions and comments coming in, we love them!
