Fifty Questions Asked of a Pebble Beach Caddie is a look into what a caddie has gone through on and off the course. “What was it like caddying at Pebble Beach?” is just the start and only one question. “Who I have caddied for?” is another question. “How did they play?” “Was being a caddie a good job?” Are just a few of questions answered.
Caddying for the movie stars, rock stars, hall of famers, and everyday people all in the same way was the best part of the job. They all ask the same questions and enjoy the same stories when playing golf at Pebble Beach.
In customer service, exceeding your expectations is the goal. Fifty Questions will exceed your expectations. There is more to a caddie then carrying the bag. Finding your happy place, pace of play, keeping the players moving is also the job.
Learning the course from the best players during the Bing Crosby National Pro-Am. It was a plus to spend the week with Fuzzy Zoeller and many other great PGA Tour players and major winners over the thirty plus years, 1982 to 2014, looping at Pebble Beach.
Making the cut in the AT&T, young pros that go on and make it big on the tour. Do players cheat? Only the player knows.

Although the game of soccer is known by many names around the world – football, fútbol, Fußball, voetbal – the sport is a universal language. Throughout the past century, governments have used soccer to further their diplomatic aims through a range of actions including boycotts, carefully orchestrated displays at matches, and more. In turn, soccer organizations have leveraged their power over membership and tournament decisions to play a role in international relations.In Soccer Diplomacy, an international group of experts analyzes the relationship between soccer and diplomacy. Together, they investigate topics such as the use of soccer as a tool of nation-state–based diplomacy, soccer as a non-state actor, and the relationship between soccer and diplomatic actors in subnational, national, and transnational contexts. They also examine the sport as a conduit for representation, communication, and negotiation.Drawing on a wealth of historical examples, the contributors demonstrate that governments must frequently address soccer as part of their diplomatic affairs. They argue that this single sport – more than the Olympics, other regional multisport competitions, or even any other sport – reveals much about international relations, how states attempt to influence foreign views, and regional power dynamics.
