Alec Baldwin Liked To Honk His Horn At The Top Of Backswings And Other Wacky Tales From East Hampton
/The NY Posts' Kate Briquelet talks to looper Scott Werner about his new self-published tell-all, Caddie Tales ($1.99 on Amazon for Kindle readers).
The 48-year-old former financier turned caddie tells stories about the Hamptons elite at East Hampton Golf Club, a $400,000-to-join Coore-Crenshaw course.
Werner recalls one morning when a mogul just couldn’t take losing to his financial adviser. He threw his putter in the air, upbraided the golf ball, and stomped around the fairway in anger.
Then he lined up next to a wad of foam he thought was a ball and swung so hard, he collapsed.
“These are people controlling the financial world, and it’s amazing, the things they say,” said Werner, who travels as a caddy-trainer and once carried for Tiger Woods and Jack Nicholson.
And my favorite because it's so believable, so perfect for Alec and is just plain funny to imagine:
When the club first opened years ago, Alec Baldwin would terrorize CEOs by driving up to the course in a blue car and park with a cup of coffee, Werner recalled.
Anytime someone would take a swing, he’d honk his horn to faze them. It’s rumored he loathed the club for environmental reasons.
