Hey, Val, sorry, I forgot to call you earlier. Can we take a rain check on Orlando? I’ll make it up to you.
Val King |
6:38 AM |
Reed. You woke me up.
Reed Stewart |
6:39 AM |
Oops, sorry. But I’m leaving on a 7AM flight. I have to go see my parents for a few days.
Val King |
6:40 AM |
Oh God, is it true? You really are the son of those postage stamp people—the Dumbasses of the Week? LOL JK
Reed Stewart |
6:41 AM |
Who’s been saying that?
Val King |
6:42 AM |
LOL literally everyone.
Why? Believe me, they’ve been saying far worse stuff about you—especially your chances at ever winning another Major.
JK! You know I love you.
Reed Stewart |
6:45 AM |
As a matter of fact, those are my parents.
Val King |
6:50 AM |
LOL! Oh, Reed! I had no idea. I’m so sorry, baby!
Reed Stewart |
6:55 AM |
It’s okay. That’s why I have to go back home. I’ve got to see what I can do to help. Anyway, I’m boarding now.
Val King |
6:56 AM |
Of course, baby. Take care! Say hi to your parents for me!
Reed Stewart |
6:59 AM |
Sure. Maybe I’ll see you again someday.
Val King |
7:00 AM |
???? Maybe you’ll see me again someday? What the F does that mean????
Reed Stewart |
7:05 AM |
Alvarez, I know this is last minute, but I’m not going to make it to Orlando until next week. I’ve got some family stuff I need to straighten out. I’ll see you there Monday.
Enrique Alvarez |
7:07 AM |
You don’t think Monday’s cutting it a little short, boudro? Cutler’s already there.
He and his caddy walked the course yesterday. He signed up for nine holes today. He’s doing a full practice tomorrow—and I’m guessing with this divorce, he’s got more family stuff going on than you do.
Reed Stewart |
7:07 AM |
Cutler’s an ass.
Enrique Alvarez |
7:07 AM |
An ass who just made World Number 1. MacKenzie dropped out, citing back problems.
Cutler’s an animal.
Reed Stewart |
7:08 AM |
Yeah, well, I’m an animal, too.
Enrique Alvarez |
7:08 AM |
Animals don’t go home to their mommies the week before a tournament.
Reed Stewart |
7:09 AM |
Fine. You go now, check out the greens, and while you’re there, meet with local realtors and pick out a house for me to buy.
Enrique Alvarez |
7:09 AM |
Pick out a house for you to buy? I’m your caddy, not your girlfriend.
What happened to Valerie?
Reed Stewart |
7:10 AM |
It’s Valery and we broke up.
Enrique Alvarez |
7:10 AM |
Oh, big surprise. You never stay with a woman for more than 3 months. You know that Chan says you got the 3 month itch. I tried to tell him it’s not true, but you make it hard.
Reed Stewart |
7:11 AM |
Just find me a house. Nothing too big. Two bedroom, two bath would be great. With a pool, or at least access to a pool. A condo would be best. No yard to mow.
Enrique Alvarez |
7:11 AM |
What? Where’s the hot tub, home theater system, and dedicated game room? This place don’t sound like you, boudro.
Reed Stewart |
7:12 AM |
It’s not for me. It’s for my parents.
Enrique Alvarez |
7:12 AM |
Now I know you’ve lost it.
You haven’t spoken to your parents in all the years I’ve known you.
They’ve never been to one of your games, not even when we played Crooked Stick, and that was only 50 miles from where they live.
And now you’re not only going home to see them, you’re buying them a house?
What is going on with you, boudro?
Reed Stewart |
7:12 AM |
It’s a long story.
Enrique Alvarez |
7:13 AM |
I can’t wait to hear it.
Fine, I’ll look for a house for your parents.
But I think you should know that none of the other players ask their caddy to look for houses for their parents.
Reed Stewart |
7:13 AM |
None of the other players pay their caddy as much as I pay you.
Enrique Alvarez |
7:14 AM |
Not lately, boudro. 10% of nothing is nothing.
Reed Stewart |
7:14 AM |
I pay you $1700 a week on top of that 10% cut of my winnings, but thanks for the tender reminder.
Enrique Alvarez |
7:14 AM |
Like I said, I ain’t your girlfriend.
Reed Stewart |
7:14 AM |
And I thank the sweet Lord for it every morning when I see your ugly mug.
Enrique Alvarez |
7:15 AM |
You ain’t no prize either.
Reed Stewart |
7:15 AM |
Safe travels, boudro.
Enrique Alvarez |
7:15 AM |
Same to you, boudro.
