Shankster 33,174 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Just read that Phil and Bones are done!

Golfspy_CG2 34,070 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Wow!! Well Bones was roaming the grounds at Erin Hills without a boss, maybe someone made him an offer he couldn't refuse. I'm only partly kidding. That has been one of the longest and best combinations in golf. I wish them both luck going forward. 2 Quote TSi1 Aldila Ascent 40G shaft TSi2 18 FW with GD AD IZ 6 Shaft TSi1 20 and 23 degree hybrids Aldila Ascent Shafts R T300 5-P Tensei R flex shaft 1/4 long SM8 48F/54/58 D Grinds Tyne 4 ProV1X Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undershooter 4,163 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 On the lighter note of this. I love that Bones is trying to give his yearly veto(hasn't used it this year) to Tim.

gaussman1 1,514 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Pure speculation but guessing that Phil going to player fewer and fewer events and wanted to free up Bones for a more active top player. Anyone think DJ could use a new caddy?

That's pretty much how Steve Williams ended up on Tiger's bag from Greg Norman. I'm not qualified to say, but I know there are several people on tour, who I've heard say if DJ had had a professional caddie from the start, he would have 3 or 4 majors by now. But I know he's comfortable with Austin, so maybe that makes up for experience in his mind.

WillieStoutJr 5 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Wow, this just blows my mind. It'll be interesting to see where the two go from here. Seems like this will be one of "those" divorces that will have us pondering the who,what,when and why? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His brother carried for him in an event while is his caddy was home with his new baby and the rest is history.

Miboy62 1,897 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 This is something, it will be interesting to see who's bag bones will end up on. Some golfer sure will end up with a great caddie that knows his way around ea course. 1 Quote Stealth + 9* Stealth + 3 wood Stealth + 5 wood Rogue ST Max 4i/AW Jaws Raw 50/10 54/10 58/8 GT Spider TP5X 21/22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt phony Phils' statement say something to the affect that 'it was no one particular thing'. Bones was at the open putting out feelers whether intended or not is my guess, and his Philness did the 'how dare you' to one as exalted as myself. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kor.A.Door 5,845 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 25 years is a long run, I'm going to miss this when watching golf. Hopefully if Bones decides to continue, he finds a good fit with someone and helps him win many times. It was a great run they had.
