Canyon Meadows head pro enjoys pinch-me week as John Daly’s caddie yyc
“I’m standing on the 17th tee, have the putter head-cover out, and John comes walking up with no putter in his hand,” Freeman said. “I kind of give him the shrug and he says, ‘The bag just got a little lighter.’ I said, ‘Well, what did you do with your putter?!?’ He said, ‘I was going to break it, so I decided to give it to a fan.’ ”Freeman, meanwhile, will be back at his desk Monday, albeit probably not getting much work done.
Through the 10-year history of the Shaw Charity Classic, with every edition so far hosted at Canyon Meadows, Freeman has plenty of stories to tell.Daly was initially supposed to have his son on the bag in Calgary, just like he did at the British Open last month at St. Andrews, but ‘Little John’ preferred to stay home and work on his own game as he prepares for his sophomore season with the University of Arkansas Razorbacks golf team.
“You get these experiences — probably once-in-a-lifetime, might never happen again — and when the opportunity came up, I jumped on it,” Freeman said. “It’s been fantastic, really cool, and he exceeded my expectations. You just never know, when you get close to somebody that you have kind of looked up to for 30 years, but it’s been great.”
If he wasn’t fighting with his flat-stick all week, the 56-year-old might have been in contention for the title and the cowboy hat that comes with it. Instead, he settled for a T-23 showing with a three-round tab of 2-under 208. He closed Sunday with a spin of 3-under 67.Article contentNonetheless, the host-course head pro enjoyed every minute of this experience.
