BOTF: Loopers: The Caddie’s Long Walk
Part of the Best of the Fest Strand
Movie star and former caddie (and star of the great golf comedy Caddyshack) Bill Murray narrates Loopers, a documentary tracing the origins and importance of the folk who carry golfers’ bags. Loopers interviews caddies in Scotland and Ireland, as well as professional caddies for charismatic top golfers such as Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, and it explains how a caddie’s ability to read courses and understand greens is vital to a golfer’s success. Entertaining and insightful, Loopers is a great glimpse into the world of caddies. [PG]
