Confirmed no long run Monday - 11:48 Tee Time at Whistling Straights - A place I never thought I would get to golf and at my skill level probably never should. It will also be the 1st time I will have a caddy. I am scared about embarrassing myself and excited for the experience all at the same time. I have played 18 holes once this year and hit range balls once this year.
WTF? Golf?

OK. My past high was 533, it looks like (damn.) And so I am going to shoot for 11.0% (total) which is 58.6 miles. This is a highly modified (lowly modified?) version of the throwdown. My weeks so far are "0", and "4" miles.
I like your spirit. I was thinking I might try for my lowest month this year, but just noticed I have already passed April's 39.9 miles. Damnit.

Bring beer with you. It'll be OK.
Not at it at all.
The general public makes tee time a year in advance and pays $360 for 18 hole + a $60 caddie fee + caddie tip
I am thinking that carry on beer will be frowned upon by the member taking us and footing the bill.
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
I am thinking the little booze minatures - 6-8 of those for aiming fluid.
Plus the caddie carries 2 sets of clubs in 1 course provided bag ... it would not be very nice for him to carry a bunch of beer.
Feeling the growl again
Aiming fluid....I like your style...

Tonight I had a 54 ounce margaritta after a nice trail run
Stash the beer in your bag. No one will know, although the caddy may wonder why it weighs so much. It's always good to have extras in case the beer cart does not come around often enough.
MTA: Oops. Just saw your other post about what the caddy carries. OK then, my suggestion is now to tip the beer cart girl nicely the first time and explain to her how thirsty you will be every two or three holes.
Alright - I'll bite. To a place like Whistling Straights DO NOT BRING YOUR OWN BEVERAGE. That would be like bringing your own steak to Morton's. Guaranteed to get you banned/dis-invited for any future play there.
Of course, you could be the next Happy.
That might make a difference.

+1 to C-R. My first caddy experience (having one, not being one) was at Bandon Dunes. I was a 10 at the time; when the guy showed up and took up a spot behind my bag at the range, I proceeded to chunk the living shit out of the next handful of wedges. Just not used to someone standing there, obviously watching me and trying to assess my "game".
If he's good, he'll help you relax. (He wants you to relax, so he can see your real swing and do his job better.)
Have fun!

What? Do you get a free bowl of soup with that hat?
Oh, it looks good on you.
Heh.
