🎙️ TIP YOUR CADDIE — EP. 36 | Nate Scott Darren Clarke handed Nate Scott the putt to win the American Family Insurance Championship — the first read Clarke had asked him for all week. Nate said two words: "straight putt." Clarke buried it dead center, fished the ball out of the hole, and handed it to him — "Great read, Nate." It was Nate's first career win. Nate is one of the youngest caddies on PGA Tour Champions, and after five years grinding on the Korn Ferry Tour and looping at TPC Sawgrass, he got his breakthrough on Ben Crane's bag — teamed with Open champion and Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke and his caddie Keith Nolan. But the road there was anything but straight. Nate walks Dougie through the whole ride: caddying for his college roommate Chandler Blanchett, a 24-hour drive to Winnipeg for his first pro loop, quitting sales, surviving the brutal Stadium Course at Sawgrass (where he says he's seen maybe 10 people break 80 in five years), four years and a million miles with Thomas Walsh, and a rocky start with Ben Crane that — between a missed cut and snapping his new boss's driver clean in half — probably should've ended his run before it began. Ben's response is one of the best moments in the episode. Then there's the win itself: Clarke's fire-up speeches ("no sorrys this week — we're trying our nuts off"), Ben Crane catching absolute fire on the greens and putting the team into the record books, a white-knuckle Sunday in 20 mph Wisconsin wind, and that final putt on 18. In this episode: How a college favor turned into a pro caddie career The nine-missed-cuts-in-a-row stretch that got him fired — by his best friend Why TPC Sawgrass is the hardest loop in golf The rocky start with Ben Crane that nearly ended it before it began Reading Darren Clarke's winning putt — and the game ball that came with it AimPoint, life as the "young buck" on the senior tour, and the Last Call Real caddies.

Dillon Garcia went from running a pancake food truck to caddying at Cabot Citrus Farms — and two years later he's looping his way around the world, from Nova Scotia to New Zealand.

In this episode of the Tip Your Caddie Podcast, Doug sits down with Dillon (@dillongarcia) to talk about falling into resort caddying after a broken leg, what Cabot Citrus Farms is really like now that the old World Woods is unrecognizable, the caddie life at Cabot Cape Breton (Links vs. Cliffs), and why he's chasing summers in Nova Scotia and a full year at Tara Iti in New Zealand. Plus: caddie pet peeves, the best chirps in the yard, and the Last Call.
