“Says the dips*it with the Ukrainian flag”: Kip Henley attacks former colleague over his comments on immigration

Well-known professional caddie Kip Henley is known for his frequent comments on X (formerly Twitter), which don't always have to do with golf. His most recent post was directed at a former colleague and it was not on friendly terms.

It all started when Henley posted an opinion in support of presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump. The opinion was related to the way in which, according to Henley, the immigration problem in the United States should be addressed.

Former caddie and current writer and historian, Bradley S. Klein replied to the post with the following text:

"I wouldn’t trust the yardage."

Henley responded to Klein's comment with:

"Says the Dips*it with the Ukrainian flag in his bio. Ukraine is the biggest embezzlement operation in the history of all mankind and this guy thinks us giving billions to them is just to keep Putin in check. Lol."

Klein has not responded to Henley's comments thus far.

Kip Henley introduces himself on X "The people's caddie." His profile on this social network has more than 51,000 followers.

Henley has had an 18-year career as a professional caddie. Eleven of those years were with 5-time PGA Tour winner Brian Gay. He has also worked with Stewart Cink, Austin Cook, Derek Father, Brian Gay, Boo Weekley, Jason Bohn and Grayson Murray.

Kip Henley's views on Bryson DeChambeau's putter

Kip Henley is no stranger to controversy on X. Three weeks ago, just hours after Bryson DeChambeau's spectacular victory at the 2024 U.S. Open, Henley issued a controversial opinion about his equipment.

Henley's opinion was directed specifically toward DeChambeau's putter. The caddie said the champion's putter could be in violation of one of the requirements of the United States Golf Association (USGA).

This would be the slope that the putter's shaft must have in relation to the head. According to Henley, this slope must be 10 degrees and, from his perspective, De Chambeau's putter did not meet that parameter.

Henley backs up his opinions with his vast golf experience. He has 18 years of experience as a professional caddie in addition to his time as a player at the University of Chatanooga and his own collegiate career.

Henley never made it to the top of the professional golf world, but he did have some notable successes. He was named the Tennessee PGA "Player of the Year" five times, and he won the Tennessee State Open Champion in 1982 and again fifteen years later in 1997. Henley is also remembered for the television show "The Big Break II," which he went on to win.
