THE BLACK CADDIE
Honoring the Forgotten Me
From 1932 to 1982, The Black Caddies of Augusta have been the unsung heroes of golf history. These men played a crucial role in the success of the game by shouldering the burden of heavy bags for professional players, providing valuable advice on the course, and serving as the vital connection between the player and the club. Despite their indispensable contribution, these caddies were often overlooked and undervalued, marginalized within the sport and denied the recognition they rightfully deserved. Nevertheless, they remained dedicated and loyal to the game and its players. The time has come to acknowledge and honor the significant contributions made by these forgotten pioneers of golf history, ensuring that their legacy is not lost.
