FANTASTIC history of caddies and the relationship to their players. I loved every second of the documentary. Bill Murray was a great choice to moderate.
This was a great movie. I appreciate Canterbury's Mike Kiely being included. He helped me start a fine 44 year career in golf. He has been great for many young people.
