he Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) invites the public to get hooked on fishing through its Free Fishing Days June 12 and 13. During Free Fishing Days, anyone may fish in the Show-Me State without having to buy a fishing permit, trout permit, or trout park daily tag.

Free Fishing Days is an annual MDC event that takes place statewide during the Saturday and Sunday following the first Monday in June.

Aside from not needing permits, other fishing regulations remain in effect during Free Fishing Days, such as limits on size and number of fish an angler may keep.

Special permits may still be required at some county, city, or private fishing areas.

Trespass laws remain in effect on private property.

MDC reminds anglers in Missouri that fishing permits are required before and after June 12 and 13, unless an angler is exempt by age or other factors. All other fishing regulations are also in effect.

Conservation makes Missouri a great place to fish. Missouri has more than a million acres of surface water, and most of it provides great fishing. More than 200 different fish species are found in Missouri, with more than 20 of them being game fish for the state’s more than 1.1 million anglers. Learn more about fishing in Missouri at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/fishing.

What it takes to be a looper

E

ver wonder how someone becomes a Professional Golfers’ Association or Ladies Professional Golf Association caddy? Like any other profession hard work, dedication, knowledge, and in some instances, being in the right place at the right time will pay big dividends.

Many times, tour caddies have been extremely good players in their own right, playing competitively in college or on smaller professional tours. Many will start looping at a young age at their local clubs because they loved being around the game. So, what does it take to become a successful caddy?

A great caddy must be part counselor, friend, therapist, travel agent, coach, rules official and much, much

more. Why so many hats? Tour players need to be focused on one thing — their game and the caddy handles the rest.

The caddy must understand the game of golf in great detail. They need to understand the pressure the player is under in different circumstances and be able to calm them to perform at a high level.

They must be able to understand weather conditions to advice the player on club selection and how it will affect the shot. They need to have a knowledge of the topography at multiple courses in different regions of the country and the world. They will give emotional support, and when needed, be their friend. They will give putting assistance and need to be mentally strong so when their player blames or criticizing

GOLF raphy in each quadrant of the green using a level and preparing the green reading book for the week. Tuesday is a typical practice round day with your player to develop a plan for the week, implementing what you researched on Monday. Wednesday is typically Pro-Am day, where sponsors and special guests have an opportunity to play alongside the tour players. Little prep work is done today as it is all about the amateur players having a great time and interacting with the players. Thursday starts the event, and you would typically meet your player an hour or so before their tee time. The caddy however may show up two to four hours earlier to prepare. Making any changes to their plan based on weather conditions, pin placements for the day, finalizing the plan, and preparing the equipment for the round.

What can a caddy expect to make?

This varies but a typical caddy will receive $1,000 to $2,000 per week plus 5 to 10 percent of their players earnings that week. The better you prepare

decisions made, they can mentally handle the outburst. A great partnership must withstand some ups and downs, and in many instances the caddy will know the players game better than the player themselves.

What is a normal week for a tour caddy? If your player played the week prior, you travel to the next tour stop on Sunday and get ready to begin a new week on Monday. On Monday, the player may or may not come to the course (it depends on the player). The caddy however is at the course preparing for the week. Preparations begin by walking the course and developing a plan. Making notes of changes to the course from the previous year. Using a range finder to get accurate distances from multiple locations on the course from bunkers to penalty areas that may be in play off the tee or opportunities to drive the short par-4 that are so popular now to that par-5 distance that will allow you to hit the green in two. A caddy will spend up to 20 minutes per green complex documenting the topog-

your player to preform at a high level the more you can earn. It is a partnership, and many professionals admit that their caddy is as important as the custom clubs they use.

There have been many great partnerships in golf history and some extreme heartaches between player and caddy. In Lee Trevino’s prime he and caddy Herman Mitchell partnered for 19 years and won six major championships together. For over 20 years Jack Nicklaus and Angelo Argea, known for his signature grey afro, partnered for 44 of Jack’s 73 tour wins including most of Jack’s major championships. In 1986, Jack’s last major championship at the Masters, Angelo was not on the bag as this honor went to Jack’s son Jackie, making this championship even more special.

Who can forget John Daly’s rise to fame at the 1991 PGA Championship?

Daly was the final alternate and drove all night to play on Thursday without a practice round or looper. When he arrived, he picked up Jeff “Squeaky”

Medlen whose normal loop had withdrew. With Jeff on the bag, he and Daly won the tournament in remarkable fashion. I am sure that having the experience of Jeff beside him was instrumental to Daly winning that week. Jeff was also on the bag when Nick Price won his three major championships. Phil Mickelson and looper Jim “Bones” Mackay partnered for 25 years and was one of the most legendary duos in golf history. Golf telecasts were never better than when the mics were on these two as they discussed a shot.

The best-known female caddy is Fanny Sunesson who looped for Nick Faldo during his Majors run. Tiger Woods and his loopers over the years have been household names beginning with Mike “Fluff” Cowan who was on the bag for Tiger’s first three years on tour and his first Masters title. For 12 years the honor of carrying the cats bag went to Steve Williams who looped for many of his Majors. Tiger’s bag is now in the hands of Joe Lacava who for over 20 years had looped for Fred Couples.

Not all partnerships are perfect all the time, mistakes do happen. Tiger and Fluff parted ways largely because Fluff was becoming as popular as Tiger doing commercials and securing endorsement deals because of his celebrity status as Tiger’s looper. At the 2001 Open Championship Ian Woosnan incurred a two-stroke penalty because his caddy had failed to realize there were two drivers in the bag, making 15 clubs instead of the

14-club maximum. Ian went on to lose the tournament by four strokes. The caddy was not immediately fired, but two weeks later the caddy overslept and missed Woosnan’s tee time and he was let go. Dustin Johnson and his caddy both failed to realize on the last hole of the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits that they were in a bunker. Dustin grounded his club and was assessed a penalty forcing a playoff that Dustin eventually lost.

The Canadian Open has had its share of caddy/player moments. After a disagreement Robert Allenby fired his caddy mid-round and grabbed a spectator from the gallery to finish the round. I wonder if that fan ever got paid? Also during the Canadian Open Jay Williamson had an altercation with his caddy and the caddy proceeded to empty all the golf balls out of his bag into the water, subsequently disqualifying the player. I am sure their relationship did not end well after this.

A caddy’s life is not for everyone. It may look exciting traveling the country and hanging out with the best athletes in the sport. With these perks comes extreme pressure to be the best and to prepare your player to be their best. If you want to try your hand at it start with your local club, get some experience, make some contacts, and learn everything you can about the game of golf! You never known where this may lead … you could find yourself on the bag of the next Cinderella story.

24 VACATION NEWS

or more than 70 years, Bridal Cave has been offering tours into one of the most scenic caves in America. Located just outside of Camdenton, the cave first opened to the public on October 16, 1948 and is the longest continually operated family attraction at the Lake of the Ozarks. In fact, the descendants of the original developers still own the cave today.

The tour of Bridal Cave is enjoyed by all ages and staff caters to families. Visting Bridal Cave gives families a chance to unplug from the digital world, relax and enjoy some on nature’s most scenic natural wonders. Kids love looking in the Rock Shop or feeding the giant fish at the dock (free fish food is provided).

Bridal Cave was honored by the readers of Lake Lifestyles Magazine for Best Family Entertainment in 2021. Bridal Cave is truly family fun as it should be.

With the name Bridal Cave, the chapel inside the cave is world famous with over 4,000 couples from around the world who have exchanged vows there. The stalactite-adorned Bridal Chapel is the most award-winning wedding venue in the Midwest and has been featured in Glamour Magazine. Natural beauty is what makes the cave tour so special. All the colors inside the cave are completely natural as no colored lights are used on the tour. A new state-of-the-art LED white lighting system enhances the caves formations. Bridal Cave has more onyx cave formations per square foot than other known cave or cavern in the U.S. and has been featured twice by Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Staff is taking safety measures due to COVID by limiting the size of cave tours and running them more frequently throughout the day. Masks are recommended for guests and staff but are not required. Sanitation stations are conveniently located throughout the park.

Bridal Cave is open daily with guided tours leaving every few minutes and lasting about one hour. The cave tour is especially popular on rainy days or hot days as the cave is always a pleasant 60 degrees year round.

POWER HOUR Boat Parade

The Lake area is invited to register for an attempt at breaking the record for the world’s largest boat parade. Those interested should register soon, as the attempt will take place on June 12.

The current record is held in Malaysia and sits at 1,180 boats. The goal is to bring this record home to the Lake of the Ozarks.

The idea was conceived to raise funds for a massive fireworks display at the lake to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the lake, as well as the 200th anniversary of the state of Missouri. This display will be held on August 10.

A Regatta permit has already been issued by the water patrol for the event. Event leaders stressed that this is not a race and not a contest. Safety of the vessels involved is a priority. To ensure this, the parade route will have a lineup of small boats and watercraft in the front, with larger vessels in the rear.

MHQ-Mortgage Headquarters has sponsored to be the Grand Marshall and will lead the parade. The course of the parade will be staged around the 22 MM to the 24 MM. Boat staging areas will start around the 19MM. More information on staging for boat sizes will be available. Views of the parade will be available at most lakefront businesses between the 22 MM and 26 MM. Registration for the event can be completed at https://bestdambirthdaybash.com/ Registration for the parade includes one t-shirt for the captain of the boat. Additional shirts are available for separate purchase at $25 each.

Starting June 4-11, t-shirts and flags for the boat can be picked up at MHQ, 4824 Osage Beach Pkwy, Suite 1.

Event organizers stressed that this is not a political event. Any political flags may cause the attempt to be disqualified, so only provided parade flags will be accepted.

Art and Photo Quest winners

A

Best of Show

fter a year off in recognition of COVID concerns, the 2021 Student Art and Photo Quest concluded on Sunday, April 25, with many awards given for the most promising work. Aleah Lemke, a 7th grader from School of the Osage, and student of Whitney Carnahan, won the “Best of Show” award.

The “President’s Award” went to Rebekah Otto, an 11th grader, also from School of the Osage, a student of Danielle Greubel. The Best of Division 3 winner was Grace Vogeler, a 7th grader from School of the Osage, a student of Whitney Carnahan.

Because there was no show last year, both Aleah and Grace will receive 3-year scholarship/mentorship awards from the Lake Ozark Brush and Palette Club. Lydia Porter, Visual Arts Chairperson of the Lake Arts Council, and her team of volunteers organized, set up, and ran the show. Mary Andeline, local artist and teacher, Robert Bair, Lake Arts Council president, and Morgan Moffitt, also of the Lake Arts Council, served as judges. Lake Arts volunteers, led by Council director Paulette Horr, and contributors provided the refreshments for the reception following the awards presentation.

The show was sponsored in part by the Missouri Arts Council, the Lake Arts Council, and Kohl’s Care charitable division of Kohl’s, Inc. Members of the Kohl’s Care team were instrumental in the set up of the show. The Kohl’s volunteer program fosters a culture of giving in all its locations and encourages associates to contribute their time and talent to local eligible nonprofit organizations. With every qualifying event, Kohl’s provides a financial award to the benefiting organization in support of these volunteer efforts.
