@ahadwingolf I did that when I was in College at a few clubs. I played Wakinda in Des Moines just by introducing myself and that I go to Iowa State. They let me play. It was during the week. I also got on Omaha Country Club. Clubs can be very receiving if approached the right way.
Tommy Fleetwood used Augusta National caddie Gray Moore this week. He posted his best-ever finish at the Masters. Currently T4. That would pay $880,000. Assuming the normal(ish) 8% of a top 10 finish, Moore would take home $70,400. That'll do just fine.
