Every caddie remembers the reads that didn't break. Not because they happen often — because they're impossible to forget.

An older caddie once slapped me on the shoulder after I'd given another poor read and laughed: "You know what the difference is between a good caddie and a bad one? A good caddie forgets faster."

I thought he meant care less. He didn't. He meant recover.

Learn what you can. Leave the rest behind. The next putt deserves your full attention. So does the next day.
