Golf And Your
Caddie
In golf, once the ball
starts rolling, you are alone. Well, not really. You have your
caddie to help you. Here are some ways a caddie can help
you.
A caddie will help you
carry your golf clubs. Well, this is one of the most common
jobs a caddie is understood to do. This is a tough job because
a golf bag is heavy. Try to be patient with him and just trust
him to take care of your clubs.
A caddie can also help
you wash your clubs. This is important because wet clubs could
affect your game tremendously. This is part of his job and will
automatically do it for you after every shot.
A caddie will also clean
your ball if you want it cleaned. He might ask you from time to
time if you want the ball cleaned. He also carries a lot of
substitute balls in case you want a new one or if the ball was
lost in the woods or if it sunk in a water hole.
A caddie will replace
your divots every time you are finished with your site. He does
this to help maintain the fairways and also for other golfers
who will shoot from that place after you did.
A caddie will also do
this for ball marks on the green. He does this by flattening
the golf mark by a flat surface like his shoes. He does this to
maintain the greens and help you with your shot. Once you’re
lining up for a shot and see a golf mark that he failed to see,
just point it out to him and he will repair it for you.
Remember that is easier to make a shot when the green is
straight and smooth.
A caddie could also help
you with your game. Note that a caddie probably has some
experiences watching great players make their shots or how they
putt their greens. If he is observant he could be a valuable
source of tips that could help you tremendously with your
game.
Having a caddie with you would be wonderful for
your game. He will help you get more relaxed and not
worrying about the simple things. Remember, though, to take
it easy on your caddie if your game is not that good.
Caddying is a tough job and it’s not really his fault if you
make a lot of mistakes in your game.
