McSweeney’s interviews a caddy
Rat Race Staff
McSweeney’s Internet Tendency occasionally publishes an interview with someone who has an interesting or unusual job. Their approach is a little different from ours, running in a straight question-and-answer format rather than a profile, but they still provide a fascinating window into a life. And, for this one, Suzanne Yeagley (and/or her editor) has crafted one of my new all-time favorite headlines: “Matthew Moody Has Only Been Hit Twice By Golf Balls.”
It is, ICYMI, an interview with a caddy:
“There are three types of caddies.
“The first is VIP, like what I do. You’re a psychologist, a coach, and a physical laborer all at the same time. They ask me, “Should I use the seven iron or the eight iron?” The higher the number, the shorter the ball goes. So if you’re even thinking about that question, you go with the one that goes further.”
