Loopers: The Caddie's Long Walk

Centuries old and enjoyed by tens of millions of people worldwide, golf is seen by many as more than a sport. Yet what do we know about the other person on the course - the man or woman behind the player carrying the bag? In a narrative never covered in any feature length documentary, Loopers: The Caddie's Long Walk explores the incredible personal bond that a golfer and a caddie develop through hours of time together. It is often said that a good caddie does three things: show up, keep up and shut up. But a great caddie wears many hats, acting as the player’s psychologist, mother/father figure, technical advisor, and confidante. The film unveils the working dynamic between famous partnerships and delves into the making of a caddie’s career with stories about caddies like Greg Puga - a young Bel Air caddie from East Los Angeles who fought his way to Augusta to play in the Masters as a Mid-Amateur Champ. Loopers: The Caddie's Long Walk is a visual tour de force shot on the iconic courses of Pebble Beach, Augusta National, St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Prestwick, Ballybunion, and Lahinch. Narrated by Bill Murray, it explores the untold stories and lives of golf caddies working with some of the world’s most famous golfers - profiling caddies for Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth, and Tom Watson. Loopers: The Caddie's Long Walk relates a new, heartfelt story about the game of golf. (Santa Barbara International Film Festival)
