Have you ever heard the expression "You have to earn respect"? Several people have asked for some insights but none have been forthcoming.

I'll say it again, " Give him a bit of respect ".
Why does he have to earn it. If folk were, "Nicer" to him, he may well feel more inclined to share his experiences.

Ha ha didn't you know I used to be a USPGA tour caddie, but I don't like to talk about it either.

Why do people keep saying he's "strong minded?" I think he's quite the opposite otherwise he wouldn't appear to throw the towel in when things weren't going his way.

Well I could just as easily say I have played on tour, won events, Majors etc but if I don't give any more insight why should anyone pay attention to what I have to say?
Did I mention I'm an American billionaire with a string of golf courses around the world?

Seriously he claims to be a caddie not the queen, get over yourself.

You see, this is what I mean - be a bit "Nicer".

I caddied for 10 months, multiple tour winner.
On the whole it was an enjoyable experience, can be political and hostile for outsiders, caddies stick together and the players do their thing. It is a very tight circle and found it quite surreal seeing your idols up close and trying to contain my excitement.
On paper I ticked the boxes, experienced amatuer caddy, play around scratch and have a relaxed and analytical personality. The opportuntity presented itself by chance but I took advantage of the situation and was available for a short period of employment which suited us both.
I learned a lot, listened a lot and it gave me motivation to improve.
I'll answer any questions if I can contribute to the matter.

Thanks for that Scratch Lefty, but you do realise that it probably won't be enough for some on here.

The point being, what you see on TV does not correlate to real life situation and being in the moment.
Could Rory have a better caddy? Possibly.
Does he need need a better caddy? In my opinion no.
Does Rory want JP on the bag? 100% yes.
There is more to it than just being on the bag.

Ha ha, pull the other one mate.
The reason why knowledgeable and busy people don't share information and experiences on forums is because of argumentative slimeball knee droopers like your good self.
I refuse to participate any longer in this conversation and regret even briefly mentioning my experience.

Sorry I wasn't joking I just thought it was best to be honest with such a knowledgeable and busy person.
Are you the same 12 year old that does Kealedrivingrange ?

My uncle and I were talking about it and he thinks a pros caddy shouldn't give advise to the pro at all during the round. It would speed up the game. Amatuer have to play without it. So maybe if all caddies just carried the clubs it would speed up the game a tad

This thread makes me think of when a boxer loses and he's changing trainer straight after, how often does it really improve the fighter? They're just looking for a reason to not blame themselves.
Would Mcilroy be really playing any better with a different caddie, I doubt it.
I may be wrong but didn't Adam Scott go back to Steve Williams for the Masters? If so how did that turn out?

Gentlemen.
In order to stop the thread degenerating, as a Forum Moderator, I have sent a PM to Scratch Lefty.
asking him to tell me his credentials so I can confirm his status as an ex tour caddie or not, I will not relate these details to anyone else, as he almost certainly wants to protect his anonymity.
So If I come back and say that the guy is Kosher, then I trust that you will believe me and treat him so.
Deal?
so can we stop any sniping remarks please
Thank you

That is a real shame it's had to go to that lengths when people can't take someone's word for it
