Matt Ginella has spent decades around the best courses in the world — and around the people carrying the bags at them. From Sports Illustrated to Golf Digest to Golf Channel's Round Trip, now founding Fire Pit Productions and serving as Chief Storyteller at Kemper Sports, Matt's the rare golf-media figure who treats caddies the way TYC treats them: as the people the game is actually built around.

In Episode 33, Dougie Buckets and Matt go deep on the loopers who shaped his career, the caddie academies giving kids a real path into the game, the philosophy of taking a caddy in a world that's increasingly built for carts, and the single best caddie call Matt has ever heard — on the 18th tee at St. Andrews, in the wind, with a re-tee already in the burn behind him. Plus: how Matt's son ended up with the name Bandon, why caddies make the best tour guides anywhere outside the ropes, and the white whale of golf media that Matt has agreed to help us land.
