Golf is a challenging game, but it can be even more enjoyable when you have the right caddy by your side. A good caddy can help you choose the right clubs, read the greens, and provide moral support. They can also make your round go more smoothly and help you save time. If you're serious about improving your golf game, hiring a caddy is a great investment.

Different Types of Caddies

There are many different types of caddies, so it's important to find one that's a good fit for your needs. Here are a few of the most common types of caddies:

Professional caddies are typically employed by golf courses and are paid a fee for their services. They are usually very experienced and knowledgeable about the course, and they can provide a wide range of services, including club selection, green reading, and course management.
Amateur caddies are not paid for their services, and they are usually friends or family members of the golfer. They may not be as experienced as professional caddies, but they can still be helpful and provide a good value.
Student caddies are typically college students who work as caddies to earn extra money. They are usually eager to learn and can be a good option for golfers who are looking for a caddy who is willing to work hard and learn quickly.

Experience: How much experience does the caddy have? Are they familiar with the course you're playing?
