About Caddie

What does a Caddie do?

As Golf Caddies, we are responsible for carrying golf bags around the golf course for players. We support players and advise them on the selection of a proper club for stroke. We locate driven balls and hold markers out of the cup while the player putt. Carrying player’s bags, cleaning the balls, and raking the bunkers is one of our main responsibilities. We replace divots and hold the flag in the ground. Working as Golf Caddies, we help golfers to determine the distance to the pin and advise them on club use. We also inform players about game status at all times.

Core tasks:

  • assist players
  • support golfers and teams
  • act as an advisor to the professional golfer
