Would you use a caddy in your weekend medal?

I thought it was Poulters mate who went in for him not the caddy.

Possibly was ,I can’t really remember.

I just remember thinking there could be anything in that water.
If my mate asked me he would get a very short answer.

I absolutely love it! Got to try it now

I have had several caddies in the past.
The one thing that struck me is how long I had to wait for other players .
They have to get a yardage, select a club , clean said club after the shot.
Park their trolley get the putter.
As this is going on your waiting , as this is all done for you.
But you can chat with your caddy. That’s a bonus takes your mind off things.
Did make me wonder why pro golfers are so slow.

I had a mate caddy when I reached the final of the club knockout. As you mention above, one thing I did notice was how quick we were. I also barely spoke to my opponent, as I was just chatting to my mate. That's why I wouldn't use one in a medal, half the fun is having a craic with your playing partners. Didn't find it helped or hindered my golf, but I was playing my home course.

Didn’t use a caddy in the end - but did win the match! Into the semis we go!

I'd think something was very odd if a bloke showed up with a caddy in an ordinary club comp.

I wouldn't do it.

Playing a KO Final a few years ago my opponent had a mate 'on his bag'. I think it was more that my opponents mate - not a member and a golfing newbie - fancied seeing how my opponent - an experienced matchplay golfer - managed his game in an important match.

A knockout final isn't an ordinary comp though is it. Most golfers are lucky to make one in their life, and will be tempted to make an occasion of it.

Indeed…he did…but he still lost ?. But never seen or used a caddy in an ordinary knock.
