"Centuries old and enjoyed by tens of millions of people worldwide, golf is seen by many as more than a sport. Yet what do we know about the other person on the course? The man or woman behind the player carrying the bag. In a narrative never before covered in any feature length documentary,Loopers: The Caddie's Long Walkexplores the incredible personal bond that a golfer and a caddie develop through hours of time together.

It is often said that a good caddie does three things: show up, keep up and shut up. But a great caddie wears many hats. They’re the player’s psychologist, mother/father figure, technical advisor and confidante. The film unveils the working dynamic between famous partnerships like the heartfelt story of Tom Watson’s and caddie Bruce Edwards. Conversely, it delves into the making of a caddie’s career with stories like Greg Puga — a young Bel Air Caddie from East Los Angeles who fought his way to Augusta to play in the Masters as a Mid-Amateur Champ. Whether familiar or new, these are stories that will make you re-think the way you look at Golf, and especially the job of the Caddie.

Loopers: The Caddie's Long Walkis a visual tour de force shot on the iconic courses of Pebble Beach, Augusta National, St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Prestwick, Ballybunion, and Lahinch. Crafted in the spirit of documentaries like “20 feet from Stardom”, “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” and “Step into Liquid”, the film is a must-watch document of the game of golf as you’ve never seen it before."

Reviews

Loopers charts the history of golf from its origins in Scotland to modern times. Traditionally, the caddie’s mantra was to ‘show up, keep up and shut up.’ They were banned from the clubhouse and treated poorly. However, they became an important part of the sport, acting as the player’s technical adviser, psychologist and confidant.
Sunday Times, Ireland (February 2, 2019)
… wishing ‘Loopers’ could be a series with each vignette an episode. Better yet, with striking panoramics of St. Andrews, Pebble Beach, Bandon, Carnoustie and other world-renowned courses, “Loopers” is reminiscent of the BBC’s “Planet Earth” series, educating while aesthetically captivating.
Golf Digest (March 2019)
I’ve only played a handful of rounds of golf in my life, and I don’t particularly care about the sport. Still, I found ‘Loopers: The Caddie’s Long Walk’ compelling. Any time you get somebody talking about their life’s work you’re probably going to get some good stories.

This weaves history with personality in telling a handful of specifically amazing golfer-caddie pairings, and is great even for those who hate golf.

There is plenty to like about the recently released film, Loopers: The Caddie’s Long Walk. The story it tells about the history of caddies, for one. The way it introduces us to characters who do that for a living in places as far- reaching as Bandon Dunes and Ballybunion, for another.
A new documentary following the ups and downs of golf caddies is to premier at Edinburgh International Film Festival this weekend.
Directed by documentarian Jason Baffa, Loopers: The Caddie’s Long Walk is a breezy and inoffensive celebration of the noble art of caddying. Baffa takes us to some of the most famous links in all the world in order to delve into the history of the game and origins of the golf caddie.
Director Jason Baffa finds some fascinating people to interview. He starts with the old men who guide guests around the links courses of Ireland and Scotland. He moves on to the caddy squad who know the secrets of Georgia’s Augusta National, and who for years were the only caddies allowed at The Masters.
The ‘‘Caddyshack’’ star plays it straight (mostly) while narrating this salute to the unsung heroes of the golf course.
This charming doc doesn't fall for lazy virtue signaling. Instead, it focuses on the bond between golfer and caddie.
Documentary is a history lesson, gorgeous travelogue and insightful look into the role of caddies
The exquisitely-filmed feature length production, which is narrated by Bill Murray, looks at the profession from all angles – from caddies at local clubs like Ballybunion and Bandon Dunes to the men who tote the bags for players on the PGA TOUR.
We don’t get many great golf films so run out and see this wonderful look at all things caddie. Here’s the list of theaters and just some of the cameos include: Ben Crenshaw, Michael Greller, Carl Jackson, Rick Reilly, Nick Faldo, Greg Puga, Curtis Strange, Fanny Sunesson, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, Steve Williams and Fuzzy Zoeller, plus rare footage from Augusta National!
There is a new Bill Murray movie and, since you probably are not hearing about it until now, it is called “Loopers: The Caddie’s Long Walk.” He does not have a demanding part — he narrates the 80-minute long documentary and makes a short on-camera appearance — but it is sure to be regarded as one of his finest films.
