Veteran caddie Kip Henley recently dropped a tutorial video on reading the greens. In his video, he explained the different positions of the ball and shared some insights on the green reading in his typical sarcastic manner.
Kip Henley is a veteran caddie and has been on the bag for several PGA Tour stars such as Stewart Cink, Austin Cook, Derek Father, Brian Gay, Boo Weekley, Jason Bohn, Eric Axley and Garrett Willis. Most recently he had caddied for the late Grayson Murray in 2023.
On Monday, January 6, Henley took to X to share some insights on green reading.
"To clear up all the cornfusion out there with you Dips that don’t know how to properly call reads on the greens," he wrote. "This may not be discussed or challenged! Some things are perfect! This is one of them."
In the video, he placed the ball in several positions to demonstrate its travel path. At the end of the video, he gave a piece of special advice to golfers.
"Quit saying this is one ball out," he said. "What's wrong with you guys? This is a cup out. So if I tell my player to aim a cup out, I want him to aim at split right on the cup out there. That'll be a hundred bucks. You're welcome."
Here's the clip:
When Kip Henley expressed his regret on not reaching out to Grayson Murray
Last year, Grayson Murray's demise shocked the golf world, including his former caddie, Kip Henley. Following Murray's death, Henley took to X to express his condolences. In his first post, he wrote that he was at a loss for words and stated that the golfer had a 'heart of gold.'
In the follow-up tweet, he regretted that he couldn't reach out to Murray.
"Something was telling me to reach out to the kid the last few days and I didn’t," he wrote. "100 people mentioned him to me for some reason. I should have mended our fences way better and so sad I didn’t. Speaking and working things out will always be the best for ourselves and especially others.
Kip Henley played an important role in Murray's redemption. The duo won two titles on the Korn Ferry Tour during the 2023 season and earned their PGA Tour cards. However, shortly after this, both decided to part ways. Murray then went on to win the Sony Open in Hawaii, his first start after receiving the card.
