When you watch Lee Westwood having his girlfriend carry the bag does makes one question whether players really need a pro caddie.
What do you think.
What do you think.
Yep.....this. Put them on the clock, make them make a quick decision, and get on with it like normal people. Some would then say, "well, they are playing for a lot of money". I agree, but to me......walking up to your ball, deciding the distance and what club I'm using is a skill in itself and all the pro's can do that just fine. Motocaddy their brains out......Give them all a Motocaddy (36 hole battery as we know they're slow) and let them get on with it.
My FiL is 83, plays golf, has a killer hill on his course. He refuses to use an electric trolley as 'they are for old men and women's (yes he is a charmer) When I point out that he is old and teenagers use them he still wont have it.I'll just keep pushing until I get too old to. Pride won't let me use a powered trolley....but some day the body is going to need some help.
I'm an old runner.....I will use a powered trolley when I'm on my death bed. Not kidding.....much.....My FiL is 83, plays golf, has a killer hill on his course.

Forget the pride issue. No one cares who uses an electric trolley and it means your shoulders don't get tired 2/3 of the way round from pushing.
When I can no longer carry my clubs around I'll stop playing. I hate trolleys.My FiL is 83, plays golf, has a killer hill on his course.

Why the hate?When I can no longer carry my clubs around I'll stop playing. I hate trolleys.
Yes, I know that.Not really.
Caddies change all the time and are regularly in the same group as former employers.
