AUGUSTA, Ga. – Forget the Scenic City – this week Chattanooga is Bag Land.
The word Chattanooga in UTC lettering will be on one bag here at the Masters, which starts today at the Augusta National Golf Club.
Four caddies with close Chattanooga ties — including brothers Kip and Brent Henley who grew up in the Chattanooga area — will be carrying golf bags this week.
“It was disappointing having to watch it on TV last year,” said Kip, who caddies for Brian Gay. “I’m sure it was way more of a disappointment for BG.”
Brent Henley will caddie for Robert Garrigus, while Englishman Gareth Lord — who played golf at UTC — is caddying for Henrik Stenson. And former UTC player and assistant coach Ben Rickett is looping for U.S. Amateur champion Steven Fox, who has “Chattanooga” in gold letter on his white bag.
