Slide6Things a Caddie Can Do
Give Advice
Caddie for more than one player
Example: If there is a player in the group besides your child that doesn’t have a caddie, you may also caddie for that player. PLEASE let the other players and parents in your group know that you will be assisting both players
Help Players with The Rules of Golf
If you give the wrong advice on a ruling and the player takes your advice, the player is still responsible for any penalties that they may have committed. That is why it is always better to ask an official to help with any rulings that come up that you are not comfortable dealing with
Slide7Things Caddies CANNOT Do
Stand behind the player making a stroke
Touch or test the surface of a hazard (includes hands, shoes, clubs, etc.)
Kick or prevent a ball from its original path or placement (Rule 1-2 USGA Rules of Golf)
