Summary
With the Open returning to the Old Course, it made perfect sense to bring back an old Clubhouse episode that Shane published in 2020 with his good friend Will Froelich. Will and Shane, after college at the University of Arizona, headed to Scotland with hopes of getting a job caddying for the summer. A day later and after a quick meeting with the man in charge of loops and both Will and Shane found themselves carrying bags on the most famous golf course in the world. Relive old stories, laugh at how Will got the nickname Rubles and enjoy an experience that these two will never forget.
