Bombshell Revelations: Augusta National Caddie Spills Secrets in Shocking Reddit AMA

Bombshell Revelations: Augusta National Caddie Spills Secrets in Shocking Reddit AMA

 

What happens at Augusta National, stays at Augusta National. Or at least, it’s supposed to.

 

One man who claimed to be a caddie for a decade at the world’s most famous golf club decided to break that code of silence. Over the Fourth of July weekend, he took to Reddit with an “AMA” (Ask Me Anything), perhaps believing the holiday would keep the club’s leadership, including Fred Ridley, off guard.

 

The original post appeared in the r/golf community from a user named lordscott10, who included his picture in his profile. However, both the picture and the post disappeared just two days later.

 

Yup, he’s gone.

 

We jest, but in reality, lordscott10 might need to vanish quickly. Some of his stories, though now deleted, can still be found if you dig a little. One notable tale describes Patrick Cantlay’s remarkable performance against Phil Mickelson in a money match. When asked about the best shot he had ever seen while caddying at Augusta, he recounted:

 

“Any hole-in-one is a good time for the group. Other than that, I’d say watching Angel Cabrera call a shot he was going to hit through the trees on the left of 14, ‘7 iron amigo, little gap up there watch this.’ Boom, 1 foot away from the hole from 190. Pretty cool. Once in a while you’d see a huge cross-country eagle putt go in. But Patrick Cantlay shot the nastiest 8 under I’ve ever seen against Phil for who knows how much money that day.”

He was also asked if caddies ever get to play the course. You might expect a resounding no, but his answer was surprising. According to him, the club does offer a special perk just before closing for the summer:

 

“We get to play one day a year at the end of May, sun up to sun down. Golf carts allowed that day, can squeeze in 54 if you do it right.”

 

Not a bad deal at all. For now, we’ll refrain from sharing more details for our own safety, but the stories remain accessible if you know where to look.

 

In summary, this caddie’s Reddit AMA has given a rare glimpse behind the curtain of Augusta National. Whether his tales are entirely accurate or not, they have certainly captured the imagination of the golf community. The disappearing act of the post only adds to the intrigue, leaving us wondering what other secrets lie hidden within the hallowed grounds of Augusta.
