Noonan...Noonan!  NOONAN!!

Michael O'Keefe needs a job!   And it's not an acting gig that O'Keefe is after!   The man who played caddie Danny Noonan in the classic movie Caddyshack wants to work the U.S. Open!  For real!   Here's what Mike has to say:

"When I auditioned for the role of Danny Noonan in Caddyshack, the producers asked me two questions: 'Can you play golf? Can you caddie?'   Now, almost a half-century later, I’m ready to take my caddying to the next level.   I’m serving notice that I’m available for, interested in and worthy of carrying a bag for any professional (or amateur) in the field at this year’s U.S. Open.   Why now?   If not now, I may never have another chance!   I’m 65 and not getting any younger, though my wife tells me I’m still devilishly handsome."

Man, if I was Tiger Woods or Phil Michelson, you can bet your bottom dollar that I would ask the original Danny Noonan to caddie for me!   Hey, it worked out for Chevy Chase!   And that's my two cents!
