Willie Stokes (caddie)
Willie Lee "Pappy" Stokes (May 22, 1920 – July 9, 2006) was a professional golf caddie at the Augusta National Golf Club best known for his record of five Masters wins with four different champions and his induction into the Caddie Hall of Fame. Stokes, known as "Pappy" on the greens, was often called "the grandfather of caddies" at the Augusta National.
==Early life and career==
Willie Stokes was born May 22, 1920〔〔 at his home on the former grounds of the Fruitlands Nurseries,〔 an Indigofera plant farm〔 where his father had worked. He and his family still lived there when the tract, , was purchased by Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts to become the Augusta National Golf Club. In an interview with ''The Augusta Chronicle'', Stokes said he had "helped clear trees for the routing of Augusta National."〔I was born and raised there. It was a farm when I was young. I went out there every morning and I'd plow for cotton and corn. When they started building the course, I remember cutting down trees on No. 10 and No. 11.Willie "Pappy" Stokes
After helping build the course, Stokes stayed on as a caddie for the rest of his working life. The only years that Stokes was absent during that span were 1943–46, when he served in the US military.〔
Willie Stokes was the youngest caddie to ever be "on the bag" for a win at the Masters—age 17 during the 1938 tournament with Henry Picard. Stokes went on to win four more times in 1948 with Claude Harmon, 1951 and 1953 with Ben Hogan, and 1956 with Jack Burke, Jr.,〔 for a record number of five wins with four different champions which still stands at the Augusta National 〔〔
