We recently polled our @CaddieNetwork Twitter following to find exactly what kinds of golf thoughts are the ones that have you tossing and turning.
Here’s what we learned.

31. “The entire left side of any golf course.” — @TravisDevlin
Love this caddie response to Kevin’s golf nightmare, too…
When I’m on your bag when you get up here Trav, don’t you think about that left side, at all. I’LL worry about that, YOU look straight at our target
