What Not to Say While Caddying for Erica Blasberg

LOOK WHO�S CADDYING for LPGA Tour player Erica Blasberg.

�Yep, it's true,� writes Shane Bacon at Dogs That Chase Cars.

�This week I will be at the J Golf Phoenix LPGA International Presented by Mirassou Winery at Papago Golf Course in Phoenix, Arizona, caddying for a real, live LPGA girl in a real, live LPGA tournament. What you got to say about that, Rick Reilly?�

Shane is a golf blogging pal, and I told him I have complete confidence in his abilities. I mean that. But just in case he gets a case of the nerves, I�ve compiled a short list of things he might want to avoid saying to Erica this week.

�I think the red tees are up there.�

�Don�t go right.�

(If there�s trouble right.)

�What yardage book?�


�Don�t go left.�

(If there�s trouble left.)

�I don�t know why there are 15. I counted 14 when we left the range.�


�Eventually.�
(If Erica asks, �Do you think I can get there with a 5-iron?�)

�How about breaking par?�

(If an angry Erica says, like Fulton Allem once said, �I feel like breaking something.�)

�Wow! Check out her swing!�


�Hit it, Alice.�
