On the return trip from Bethel, we hit the inaugural Live + Work in Maine Open. It's a new stop on the Korn Ferry tour. Here I chat up a professional caddy nicknamed "Shaggy" after his round. He walked me through the tools of the trade and invited us down to Brookline, MA where he loops for a living and where the US Open will be played in 2022.

The Maine Beer Box is awesome.

Decked out in my best golf nerd attire

I found a kindred spirit in golfer Bobby Bai who sported the Jolly Roger.
