Teaming up for plenty of fun in NOLA
By Adam Fonseca · April 29, 2019
The PGA Tour’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans is always a fan favorite due to its unique format as two players pair up to take on the field. Caddies and players alike also love this event, which has evolved into quite the spectacle over the years.
One of the coolest features of the event is the walk-up music for each team as they head to the first tee. Teams are able to choose whatever music they’d like, and as caddie Aaron Flener showed, sometimes this means taking matters into your own hands.

I used to sit in a cubicle and do construction procurement for the State of Tennessee and today I caddied 32 holes and sang “Callin Baton Rouge” on the first tee of a @PGATOUR event. Never give up on your dreams, you guys.

Having the inside scoop on TPC Louisiana is the key to helping your player perform well this week. Caddie David Flynn shared his thoughts on the course prior to Thursday’s opening round.

Things got off to a soggy start last week, however, as heavy rains saturated TPC Louisiana ahead of the first round. Teams were forced to batten down the hatches in the course’s locker and grill rooms as they waited for the weather to clear, which allowed long-time coworkers a chance to catch up.

Unfortunately the first round ended up being a complete wash-out, which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective.
Caddie Holiday Official!

Perhaps the guy who had the most fun this week, however, was TCN contest winner Maury Hodgens, who experienced the tournament like no one else thanks to a little help from new friends.
Big thanks to @Joel_Dahmen and caddie @GenoBonnalie for showing our TCN winner Maury around the course! #CajunCaddie #GolfLife pic.twitter.com/wXXgIIeVhO
