Alright, so, let’s yak about this fella, Lance Bennett, the caddie. You know, the guy who carries them golf bags for them fancy pants golfers.
Who is this Lance Bennett fella, anyway?
Well, from what I hear, this Lance ain’t no spring chicken. Been lugging them clubs around since 2003! That’s a long time, y’all. He’s been with a bunch of them big-shot golfers. Heard tell of names like Matt Kuchar, Sungjae Im, and Davis Riley. Sounds like he knows his way around a golf course, that’s for sure.
And now he’s workin’ for Tiger Woods!
Yep, you heard that right. Tiger Woods! That’s the big one. Seems like they got together kinda sudden-like, at that Genesis Invitational thing. Don’t ask me what that is, some fancy golf show I reckon. Anyways, they say it all started way back in 2013, some kinda joke or somethin’. Now they’re teamed up, and Lance is carryin’ Tiger’s bag.
- Started caddying in 2003. That’s a long time, I tell ya.
- Worked with big names like Kuchar, Im, and Riley. Must be good at what he does.
- Now caddying for the big man himself, Tiger Woods. That’s somethin’ else!
What’s a caddie do, anyhow?
Well, it ain’t just carryin’ them bags, though that’s a big part of it. They gotta know the course, you know, where the ball’s gotta go and all that. They help the golfer pick the right club, figure out the wind, and keep ‘em calm when they’re about to lose their temper. It’s like being a coach and a pack mule all rolled into one.
How much does a caddie make?
Now, that’s where it gets interestin’. I heard tell they get a cut of the golfer’s winnin’s. Somethin’ like 5 to 10 percent, they say. And for regular tournaments, it’s like $1,500 to $2,500 a week. That ain’t bad money, I tell ya. ‘Course, they gotta travel all over creation, so I reckon they earn it.
Lance Bennett and Tiger Woods: a good match?
Well, that remains to be seen, don’t it? Tiger used to have another caddie, Joe LaCava, for a long time. But now it’s Lance’s turn. He’s got the experience, that’s for sure. And Tiger, well, he’s Tiger Woods. If them two can work together, they might just win a whole bunch of them golf tournaments. We’ll just have to wait and see, I reckon.
This golf business is somethin’ else.
All these fellas hittin’ little white balls around a big ol’ field. And these caddies, luggin’ them bags and makin’ a livin’ at it. It’s a whole different world than what I’m used to, that’s for darn sure. But hey, it’s somethin’ to talk about, ain’t it? And this Lance Bennett fella, he’s right in the middle of it now. Good for him, I say.
So, that’s the lowdown on Lance Bennett.
He’s a caddie, a veteran one at that, and he’s workin’ for Tiger Woods. He’s been around the block, knows his golf, and makes a decent livin’ doin’ it. What more is there to say? He’s just a fella doin’ his job, carryin’ them bags and helpin’ them golfers win. And that, my friends, is the story of Lance Bennett, the caddie, as far as I can tell.
From what I heard, this Lance guy had to step up when Tiger’s old caddie left.
Seems like these caddies are important. More than just carrying bags, you know? They’re like partners, helping the golfers make the right choices. It’s a tough job, being on your feet all day, walking them long courses. But I reckon it’s rewarding too, especially if your golfer wins.
