‘Take It With a Grain of Salt’: PGA Tour Pro’s Special Caddie Reveals the Insane On Course Relationship

The golfing community is a challenging place where players are under a lot of pressure to not only win titles but to set a standard for the royal game. Sometimes, the stress can become too much to handle. At times like this, it is always a gift to have their loved ones on the greens with them, to boost their gameplay and motivate them in during their tough times.

Many spouses of esteemed golfers have been taking on the challenge to caddie for them these days. The LPGA Tour sees Stephanie Meadow’s husband on the links with her while the PGA Tour has several examples of Rickie Fowler, Scottie Scheffler, and now Stewart Cink’s wife caddying for them to share the load and the pressure.

Lisa Cink talks about her experience caddying for her husband

It is an incredible bonding opportunity when spouses caddy for their golfing partners. Lisa Cink, wife of 2009 Open Championship winner Stewart Cink, shared a heartfelt message with his fans about the enthralling experience on the greens. “What relationship isn’t better with patience and understanding,” she said in a tweet shared by the PGA Tour Champions’ official account, with her video.

She is seen walking beside her husband in the video, and she talks about how the experience helped her empathize with what he endures on the golf course. The 50-year-old golfer is playing at the Kaulig Companies Championship this week and his wife is sharing the experience of being part of his team.

“I’ve caddied before but never really gotten into the actual — not that I make decisions, but I try to help him make decisions,” she said. She is still getting accustomed to many aspects including yardage, but she does help him in keeping things light. Speaking about when asked to read the scorecard, she said, “I always say, take it with a grain of salt.” She acknowledges his prowess on the links and says, “[to her husband] you read putts better than I do, but you know, it’s nice to have somebody else say, ‘yeah, absolutely.'”

Her support on the golf course is soothing for him. She helps carry the bag, analyses the score when she can, and is actively learning more about Pro Golf so she can assist him as experienced caddies do for their golfers.

They have one of those relationships

Lisa and Stewart Cink have a 30-year-long history together. They knew each other a long time before tying the knot in 1993 when they were only 20 years old. Their relationship has steadily evolved and grown stronger with time. The couple has two sons; the elder is Connor Cink aged 28 and the younger son is Raegan Cink who is 24 years old.

In 2016, when the Pro golfer’s wife was sadly diagnosed with breast cancer, he took a hiatus from his golfing career to stay by her side and support her through the rough moments. They have stood by each other with love and support through all the ups and downs and now, they are happy and comfortable in each other’s company.
