Centuries old and enjoyed by tens of millions of people worldwide, golf is seen by many as more than a sport. Loopers explores the incredible personal bond that a golfer and a caddie develop through hours of time together. It is often said that a good caddie does three things: show up, keep up and shut up. But a great caddie wears many hats. They’re the player’s psychologist, mother/father figure, technical advisor and confidante. The film unveils the working dynamic between famous partnerships like the heartfelt story of Tom Watson and his caddie Bruce Edwards. Loopers is a visual tour de force shot on the iconic courses of Pebble Beach, Augusta National, St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Prestwick, Ballybunion, and Lahinch. A must-watch document of the game of golf as you’ve never seen it before.
