Here’s a collection of our favorite answers submitted by followers…

“Walking Augusta National for the first time, by myself, very late in the day on Monday of Tournament week, with virtually no one else on the course. It was simply breathtaking, and awe inspiring. Just me and Augusta. It was special. #Augusta #TheMasters #Caddie #CaddieLife” — @ToddCaddie

READ: The single-coolest encounter I’ve ever had as the result of being a caddie was _________.

“I was golfing with my Dad, and we came to a hole that you needed to hit the ball 200 yards to carry the water and get to the fairway. Dad was 81 and too proud to play from the senior/lady tees. He skulled it and it skipped 2 or 3 times to the middle of the fairway!” — @fourniercasey1

“Playing matches against my dad for ham sandwiches. I’d give them all back for another round with him.” — @drleemeyers

“AK tuning up Sergio at the Ryder Cup in Sunday singles.” — @JTBiggaFigga42

“Happened today caddying actually… read a putt (ball out right) guy misses the spot barely, ball ends up falling in after being on the lip for a moment. ‘That went from a bad read, to a good read Jackson.’” — @JMoney_508

“Sneaking on backside at @paintsvilleinv course with @tylervanhoose when it would rain so no one would catch us play golf. If it wasn’t for that, don’t know if either of us would’ve started playing.” — @Coach_Hess718

“The day my son broke 70 for the first time at 14 yrs old. First hole-in-one and shot 69 on the same day to finish in the lead and win the tournament. He’s now 18, 6’5” and a freshman playing golf in college.” — @ImLeakinOil

“Earliest memory. Playing golf with my dad and a friend of his at Cherokee golf course. I was probably 10 years old. We were on the par 3 8th hole and my dad’s friend said go ahead and hit you can’t get to the green. I showed him by peppering one into the group on the green.” — @Kygolfnews
