Working as a caddy for a few summers in my teen years, I met several 'pro jocks' like the one described below: 

His spine curves right, then left one shoulder lower than another A hitch and a wobble in his gait couple shots of whiskey tempt fate A caddy, he calls himself a ‘pro jock’ follows the sun to work year-round Wows the young jocks with mythical tales of the (PGA) tour ~ though his liver will rot before long, that’s for sure _______________________________________ A 'caddy' carries a heavy bag (or two!) of golf clubs (usually) on one shoulder, traversing a golf course of four or more miles. PGA = Professional Golfers Association
