'Haul' of Fame' - professional caddy member profiles and interviews.

Scotty Steele

I hate it that i'm writing this story. Too much of my input these days on CaddyBytes and the 'Haul of Fame' is for guys who are no longer with us. I saw Scotty this past summer at the Senior British where he was working for Kirk Triplett and at Endicott Dick's Sporting Goods Open in August. I got caught up with Scotty after not having seen him for quite a while. Scotty was a very good man and fine person. As a caddie he had a big heart - which as it is applied to sport means - can go the distance - can make things happen - can be in the 'eye of the tiger' and perform at that high level like all great athletes do. That's right folks - I believe that great caddies do that to. Unfortunately this past Friday - that Big Heart just gave out. ...
