Before his internet fame, Bob Menery was a caddie in Los Angeles.
You may not recognize his face, but you definitely recognize the voice of Bob Menery. As the man behind the “R-rated sports network,” Menery has given his social following plenty of laughs as he provides sports commentary with no filter. Through his Instagram page, Menery has built a following of over 2.6 million people, hooking them with his witty, outlandish comments on the best highlights on the internet.
But before his internet stardom, Menery worked as a caddie at the posh Wilshire Country Club in Los Angeles. While there he got to loop for a laundry list of A-list celebrities — among them Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. On this week’s episode of GOLF’s Subpar, Menery told hosts Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz the tales of his worst experiences as a caddie.
“You’d get guys that were just so bad at golf,” Menery said. “When you’re a golf caddie, the worst thing in the world is when you have four really s—– players that have no f—— idea how to play golf.”
“David Arquette was a G when it
came to tipping,” Menery said. “But his golf game struggled a little bit … (He)
was probably one of the guys that was tough to go and chase balls for. I went
into that round weighing 170 pounds. I left weighing 150.”
