The Man Behind The Masters

Introduction

Alex
We are privileged enough to have on maybe the most famous caddy, certainly of modern golf history, Jim "Bones" Mackay. Everybody just knows him as Bones. It's like Madonna. Just one name. I've been lucky enough to get to know Bones, been on golf trips with them, a bunch of dinners. Every bit of what you've seen of him if you're a golf fan on TV, this guy is that. And then some. But I think fitting, it's Masters week, so I feel like we kind of have to start here. You've won. You've been on the bag for three champions.

Ravi
What a flex from Battier.

Alex
Three green jackets, dude. You're in the hall of fame. You've been there, right? As, I think, as a spectator now as on the TV side. You've just seen it in ways that none of us have. We only see the slow pan on TV. Jim Nantz and his amazing voice saying, "Hello, friends." You've been inside the ropes. What's it like this week for the guys coming in, descending on Augusta? You have such a unique view of it.
