It’s rare to capture a conversation between player and caddie during a golf broadcast because most of the time the broadcasters can’t shut their mouths.
So far, the coverage on ESPN+ has been fantastic and quite a few discussions have been picked up by the various microphones on the course.
Another great moment happened Friday morning when Justin Thomas and his caddie, Jim “Bones” Mackay, were discussing what club to hit into the 18th green of Southern Hills Country Club during the second round of the 104th PGA Championship.
Listening in on two great golf minds is as good as it gets for many golf nerds, including the one writing this article. They discuss things amateur golfers don’t even think about and your average player can learn a lot from these conversations.
Thomas would put his approach to just under 50 feet and later two-putt for par.
This is what teamwork looks like.@JustinThomas34 🤝 Bones pic.twitter.com/GtblYJavJy
