Welcome to the off-season for our favorite caddies!
In this episode, Mark and Nick explore the perceptions of caddies as nomads, the personal lifestyles tied to the profession, and Nick's ambitious plans to study sports psychology to improve mental discipline on the course. They also share some light-hearted stories about reading habits and the significance of confident appearances for caddies.
In this episode, Mark candidly shares his goals for physical health, diving into a new, healthier lifestyle to keep caddying for seasons to come. Nick underscores the importance of managing physical burdens, leading to the introduction of our new segment, "Heavy Baggage," which parallels easing physical burdens in golf to lightening emotional weights in life.
We also delve into off-season ventures, Mark’s previous stint at a cheese factory, Nick juggling two jobs, and the logistical and financial challenges caddies face when seeking winter work in warmer climates. Plus, get inspired by tales of caddies who find freedom and happiness in a nomadic lifestyle and those who treat short-term opportunities as paid vacations.
Join us as we reflect on the last loops of the season, revel in the cyclical nature of the caddy rhythm, and set new ambitions for staying active and engaged during the off-season. With plans for exciting future episodes featuring other caddies and golf industry insiders, you don’t want to miss this enriching episode of CaddieTales, where every swing mirrors a life's lesson.
