Caddie Tips
1) Introduce yourself to your professional golfer.
2) Count your pro's golf clubs and make sure there are no more than 14 in the bag.
3) Organize the clubs so you are able to quickly find the club that's needed.
4) Wet the bottom half of your towel so you can properly clean the clubs after each shot.
5) Keep your distance from your pro while he is hitting the shot, and don't stand behind any player while they are hitting.
6) Be sure your professional golfer is the only one to write on his scorecard.
7) Keep your caddie smock on at all times.
8) After each shot, take the club, clean it, replace the divot, and catch back up to your pro.
9) Stay with your pro at all times and don't lag behind.
10) The caddie whose player lands the ball on the green first is the one to pull the pin.
11) Don't walk in the line of any player's putt.
12) If you don't know the answer to any question you're asked, such as the yardage, don't try to guess. Simply say, "I don't know".
13) Keep the bag balanced on your back, and keep the club heads quiet as you walk.
14) Be aware of everyone in your group.
15) Maintain good behavior throughout the round and the tournament.
