lol, ive never caddied for a pro bowler.  but u shouldnt really expect to get balls or anything from them. just a tip.

Celebs ive caddied for over the year:

Costner, Bill Self, Peyton Manning, Dale Jarret, Huey Lewis, The United Kingdom Amateur Golf Team,Dick Jauron, The CEO of the guys that make the breath strips that go on your  tongue, im sure im forgettin some---ill add em later if i rememeber.

oh yea...i never ask for an autograph---at a prestigious club as ours is, we should be lucky to caddie there anyway.

Don't the pros leave most of their equipment in the paddock?  I would imagine that caddies retrieve stuff for them so as to avoid the problems associated with leaving the pit area to walk on carpets and to save time.  Even at the tournaments I've bowl(ed) a caddy would have at times been useful - it's tough to lug around 6 or 8 balls while switching pairs.  Alternatively you can leave them in one place and have to retrieve them.

" i guess the answer is i should get nothing"

Corrected.
Look, tipping is NOT an obligation. N-O-T. Not. Let it go. LOL! Maybe you could change your perspective. "I had the honor/privilege of caddying for a PBA member. He didnt give me any money or balls but it was STILL worth the experience cause few people actually have the chance to caddy for a PBA pro." Me(Curly)? Never done it but would love too........for NOTHING! Heck...I might even consider paying THEM. lol.

In Birmingham you have to make the top 32 to get a caddie. I didn't make the top 32 in Birmingham and didn't get a caddie. The only time I got a caddie this year was at the US Open in New Jersey and I gave my caddie 10 bucks after every block I bowled there.

He must have meant the OTHER Chris Johnson that is on contract with Storm.

You know, if you're gonna lie about someone, you should do it about someone that can't defend themselves. Such a sad sad little boy
