‘How athletes fuel’: Caddie wonderfully roasts player for hot dog, Mountain Dew diet

First, a hot dog from John’s World Famous Hawaii Hot Dogs, which had a stand at Waialae Country Club. Bonnalie was about fifth in line when he hit record on his iPhone. 

“My boss over there just asked me to get him a hot dog before we tee off,” Bonnalie said on the video. “So here I am standing in line. 

“He’s either on 59 watch or 82 watch. I’m not sure.”

For what it’s worth, Dahmen shot a 69 and a 68. And he downed one hot dog, which Bonnalie’s second and third tweet captured. “How athletes fuel,” he wrote on the second, alongside a photo of Dahmen on the driving range taking his first bite of one of the best from John’s World Famous. And five minutes later, Bonnalie tweeted: “He said it’s fitting that the @PGATOUR listed him as a sleeper, cause now he needs a nap.”

Finally, in the last Bonnalie photo, Dahmen is shown walking down the fairway, a Mountain Dew in his left hand. 

At the turn, the Waialae concessions had come through again.  

“The hot dog didn’t really work on the front, so he elected to go w/ a Mt. Dew at the turn…that didn’t really work either. #proathlete,” Bonnalie tweeted with it. 

Of course, followers of Bonnalie and Dahmen know the next good-natured ribbing between the two is just a Twitter refresh away. It was just last week, in fact, at the Tournament of Champions, when Dahmen and Bonnalie were being shuttled to the course, the driver mistook the player for a spectator, and the caddie shared that video, too. 

“’Try to get to hole 18 an hour early to get a good seat,’” Bonnalie tweeted.
