Under the Strap: A Chat with Duane Bock

2022/03/22

In this week’s Under the Strap podcast, our John Rathouz welcomes Duane Bock, longtime caddie for Kevin Kisner. Bock, a Long Island native, who won the prestigious North and South Amateur in 1992, played professionally through the 90’s before jumping into the caddie world in the mid-2000’s. Also known for his enormous calves, he met Kisner at a U.S. Open qualifier in 2007 and they have teamed up for all four of Kevin’s PGA Tour wins - including the 2019 Match Play. Filling in the blanks on popular topics about his always-candid boss, Duane does the talking this time, including the helpful reason why he thinks Kevin says he can’t compete on certain courses. The episode ends with a hilarious sleepwalking story! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Under the Strap: A Chat with Mark Carens

2022/03/10

Before the start of the 2022 Players Championship, our John Rathouz sat down for a chat with caddie Mark Carens — a man who knows TPC Sawgrass better than most, having won the tournament while on the bag of Si Woo Kim in 2017. In the pod, Carens tells a story about how the Sunday before the 2017 Players he and Kim were playing their own practice round on the back 9. Carens was recording Kim with his camera and before Kim hit on 18, Carens said, “one-shot lead on the last,” and then Kim barked back, “No, two-shot lead…” and that’s exactly what ended up happening the following Sunday.

Under the Strap: A Chat with Reynolds Robinson

2022/02/23

In this week's Under the Strap podcast, our John Rathouz sits down for a chat with Reynolds Robinson, caddie for PGA Tour player Joseph Bramlett. Robinson is a fascinating person. He grew up in New York City, excelled at basketball as a youth, became an accountant and didn't become interested in golf until age 28... And now, since 2006, he's been a caddie at the highest levels of professional golf. He shared some great stories about his life, validating moments as a caddie thanks to Stewart Cink and Jim Furyk and what it was like to caddie for Cheyenne Woods (niece to Tiger) and the one thing he'd never chat with her about.

Under the Strap: A Chat with Justin York

2022/02/10

In this week's Under the Strap podcast, our John Rathouz sits down for a chat with Justin York, who -- after a lengthy and successful run with Chez Reavie -- now caddies for South Korea's Seung-yul Noh. York has plenty of great stories to share from memorable loops at Whisper Rock to meeting his hero, Troy Aikman, a look into his approach to caddying, his love of all things Larry David, what it was like to work for Colt Knost, a look at this week's Waste Management Phoenix Open and a whole lot more.

Under the Strap: A Chat with Geno Bonnalie

2022/01/27

In this week's Under the Strap podcast, our John Rathouz sits down for a chat with the one and only Geno Bonnalie, caddie for PGA Tour winner Joel Dahmen. Geno and Joel make up one of the tightest player/caddie pairs in golf, as their friendship dates back to when Joel was just 12 years old and the two were raking in money on the course against adults -- a classic story Geno shares with us. Among the other hilarious stories Geno shares? The time he bought a Saab that didn't start at the Quicken Loans event for $22 only to get it started and sell it to a state trooper the following week for $200 at the Greenbrier. One about a trip to Kansas and telling his young son Hudson -- who loved the Wizard of Oz -- that he might see the Tin Man... and then sending a photo home to Hudson of Joel, dressed as the Tin Man. All that and so much more -- like a foggy morning on the Korn Ferry Tour after a big night out. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Under the Strap: A Chat with Legendary Caddie Steve Hulka

2022/01/17

Chatting with Steve Hulka is always a treat. Hulka, who first caddied on the PGA Tour back in 1972, sat down with our John Rathouz on the latest 'Under the Strap' podcast. As usual, Hulka shared some tremendous stories -- like how Angelo Argea, longtime caddie for Jack Nicklaus -- used to tip caddies who went out in the morning wave to share the hole locations with him before he went out in the afternoon with the Golden Bear. Hulka also shares a hilarious story about Arnold Palmer from the old Bob Hope Classic -- now known as The American Express, which will be played this week -- where Arnie provided a wink that one woman will never forget. All that and plenty, plenty more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
