Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 470 - Caddie Tales & Life Lessons: Behind the Bag at Whistling Straits with Mark Milatz

In this powerful and insightful episode, host Bill Hobson sits down with Mark Milatz, author of Caddie Tales and host of the podcast by the same name. Together, they take you inside the ropes at Whistling Straits, sharing untold stories from the caddie’s perspective — from sore feet and stolen shoes to the emotional rollercoaster of dealing with high-strung golfers.

Mark opens up about the physical demands of caddie life, the importance of investing in quality gear like Hoka shoes, and the potential recovery benefits of ice baths. He and Bill also explore the mental side of golf, highlighting how the game reflects deeper truths about a person’s character, expectations, and attitude toward life.

They tackle tough topics, including inappropriate behavior toward female staff, and the challenges of managing pace of play while dealing with strong personalities on the course. Mark’s journey is as inspiring as it is raw — a former pastor who battled addiction and found redemption through golf, storytelling, and authentic human connection.

Caddie Tales isn’t just about golf — it’s about growth, respect, recovery, and relationships. Whether you're a player, a fan, or someone curious about the lessons behind the game, this episode offers wisdom, humor, and heart.

🎧 Tune in as Bill and Mark remind us why the next shot — in golf and in life — is always the most important one.
