ENTION THE WORD “CADDIE,” and what
comes to mind are those strong-backed, patient
souls who lug around 40-pound tour bags on chal-
lenging golf courses and help high-profile touring
pros make decisions worth millions.
Now, drop that image down a notch or two and think of your
local club caddie or even that caddie at a golf resort where you
are spending big bucks for a nice vacation. A good caddie can offer
sound advice to make a good walk even more enjoyable, while
helping those less-than-professional golf games be as good as
they can be.
