Cayce Kerr, a PGA Tour caddie with 35 years of experience, has been part of over 1,000 tournaments and worked for 14 major winners. Kerr played a pivotal role in introducing distance measuring devices to the Tour almost 30 years ago, making substantial profits by selling them to notable golf figures like Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. His upcoming book, "Walking With Greatness," delves into this entrepreneurial journey and other anecdotes from his caddie life.
Kerr's innovative approach to bringing rangefinders to the golfing world proved lucrative, with a profit exceeding $800,000 within a year. These devices have since become integral tools for players, enhancing efficiency on the course by providing quick and accurate yardages. Despite the initial skepticism towards technology in golf, Kerr highlights the practical benefits of distance measuring devices and their eventual acceptance on the PGA Tour as essential equipment. His memoir offers a candid perspective on the evolution of golf technology and his ventures beyond the realm of rangefinders.
