The power of social media can be a pretty funny thing. Take the case of England’s Mark Johnson, who made it his mission to contact Garcia every day via Twitter for 206 days with the same request, #Letmecaddieforyou. While many would have given up, Johnson refused to be deterred and on Saturday got the surprise of his life when Garcia finally responded.
Ok @markjohno6969 I think I found the perfect day for you to get a taste of carrying my bag & make your dream come true! Are you ready?

Garcia has since said that Johnson will be on his bag in September at the British Masters pro-am. While many professional athletes might be weary of rewarding borderline stalking Garcia could see how much it meant to Johnson proving you should never give up on a dream!!!
His persistency really showed me how much he wanted it! We all have dreams and it was nice to make one come true! https://t.co/HtTTdnoUKk
