J.T. Poston, a PGA Tour pro, recently revealed a funny incident involving his caddie during the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. On a recent episode of GOLF’s Subpar podcast, Poston’s caddie, Aaron Flener, admitted to missing two yardages during the tournament. The first mistake occurred on the 13th hole, where Flener gave Poston incorrect information that led to a shot over the green. He owned up to his error immediately. The second mistake happened 12 holes later on the 7th hole, where Flener misread the yardage markers causing another inaccurate shot. Poston was understandably frustrated, but Flener took full responsibility for the mistakes and they moved on from the incident.

Flener jokingly blamed the math difficulties on San Diego, specifically Torrey Pines, due to the unusual Wednesday start of the tournament. Normally, Flener dedicates Thursdays to focusing on the math aspects of the game, so the midweek start threw him off his usual routine. Despite the errors, the bond between Poston and Flener remained strong, showcasing the trust and understanding between a player and his caddie on the course. The incident did not affect their relationship, and they continued to work together seamlessly after the mishaps. Flener’s willingness to admit his mistakes and have a sense of humor about the situation helped dissipate any tension between the pair.

This discussion on the podcast highlighted the importance of communication and trust between a player and their caddie on the PGA Tour. Flener’s candid admission of his errors and the subsequent conversation with Poston showcased the open and honest relationship they share. Despite the pressure of a professional tournament and the high stakes involved, Flener’s ability to take responsibility for his mistakes and remain calm under pressure reflects the qualities needed in a successful caddie. Poston’s forgiveness and understanding further emphasize the importance of teamwork and a positive attitude on the golf course, even in challenging situations.

The humorous anecdotes shared by Flener on the podcast served as a reminder that even professional golfers and caddies can make mistakes under pressure. The lighthearted tone of the podcast discussion highlighted the human aspect of the game and the importance of maintaining a sense of humor in the face of adversity. Flener’s ability to acknowledge his errors and learn from them demonstrates the resilience and professionalism required in the competitive world of golf. The story of the misplaced yardages at Torrey Pines ultimately brought Poston and Flener closer together and strengthened their partnership on the course.

In conclusion, the incident at the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open showcased the unique bond between J.T. Poston and his caddie Aaron Flener. Flener’s honest admission of his mistakes and the subsequent forgiveness from Poston exemplify the teamwork and trust required in professional golf. The lighthearted discussion on GOLF’s Subpar podcast offered valuable insights into the dynamics between players and caddies on the PGA Tour. Ultimately, the story served as a reminder of the human element in golf and the importance of communication, integrity, and resilience in the face of challenges. Poston and Flener’s ability to overcome the misjudged yardages and move forward with humor and understanding is a testament to their professionalism and mutual respect for each other.
