Golf Lessons from on a PGA TOUR Golf Bag with Mike Cromie

Michael Cromie is a former NCAA Division I golfer at the University of Georgia.  After graduating from UGA, Mike played competitive golf for a short while, but pivoted away from the profession when PGA TOUR winner, Chris Kirk, hired him as a part-time caddy.   

After some quick success together Mike decided to become a full-time caddy for Kirk and the Georgia couple has been together for multiple seasons since.

In late 2025 Mike also worked for Scottie Scheffler when Scottie won the BMW Championship, and he joins #OntheMark to share lessons from Kirk and Scheffler.  Apart from insights as to how Scottie and Chris approach practice, course management, and mindset, Mike also talks about the following keys to better golf:

• The Biggest Mistake he sees Amateurs make - Carry Distance vs Total Distance and Distance Control.
• What PGA TOUR Professionals do well - Adapting to Variable Enviroments and Hitting the Ball Pin-high.
• Intensity and Purpose behind Preparation
• Trusting your Instincts
• Speaking Success 
• Managing Ego
• Golf DNA and Understanding what you do Well
• Short-Game Practice and Variety
• Reading Greens and Putting, and
• Pre-and-Post Round Routines, and Pre-Shot Routines.
