I think this will be great for Justin Thomas.
Bones coming out of retirement
Love it.
Just saw where Bubba Watson and his caddie Ted Scott are parting ways as well after 15 years.
Ted Scott deserves a special reward or something for putting up with that for 15 years. That can not be an easy gig.
No question Bubba can be mercurial. But I’ve heard him say he realizes that and is constantly trying to be better.
One story he told awhile back was when he blasted Steve Ellington for walking ahead while he was swinging. He was caught on mic and it wasn’t a good look for him.
One of the first people to call and congratulate him after he won his first Masters was Steve Ellington. Of course Bubba teared up telling that story.
I like characters like Bubba. He certainly has his faults no question. He’ll need a caddie who can adjust to the mood swings Bubba can express at times.

My old boss got to be an honorary marshal and walk with the final group Sunday at the Phoenix Open the year Bubba won. His one comment to me on Monday was, "I don't know how his caddie can put up with that on a weekly basis." I like Bubba, it would be hard to deal with him week in and week out.
