The Healthy Gambler
In our day and age gambling is very popular. The problem is that many still see it as being wrong. Lets face it, the utmost human instinct is .....
that a caddie must do. We will try and take a look at them

briefly.



Carrying golf clubs



This task could very well be the toughest of the eight,

especially if the golf bag is heavy. Knowledge is not a factor

hears, but carrying them properly is. Try resting the golf bag

on the small of your back, may be the most comfortable position.

Adjust the strap of the bag to accomplish this position. When

you carry a golfer's clubs, you should hold the irons steady

with your hand. Try to prevent them from clanging together by

placing your wrist at the edge top of the bag and reaching over

them with the palm of your hand.



Placing the golf bag down around greens, fairways, and tee

boxes, should be done gently. By doing this routinely, will

prevent noise of the clubs around golf greens, tee boxes, and

other players. Do not drop clubs.

Washing players golf clubs



This is a fairly simple task, but you have to stay on top of it.

Keep a wet towel with you at all times. You may want to keep

half of it dry, if you want to carry it with you. Make sure the

golfer's clubs are clean and dry at all times. Do not hand your

golfer a dirty club. Keep a tee in your pocket to clean the

grooves of the clubface and wipe clean with the towel. Make sure

golf clubs are dry and clean before every hole. When the golfer

is finished with the club. Clean them right away and place in

golf bag gently. If you do not put them back in the bag right

away, you may forget them on the ground, and find out later the

golfer may need that particular club. When you happen to

remember leaving one behind. Mention it to your golfer

immediately. He or She will give you instructions on what to do.



Washing players golf ball



Ask the golfer well in advance, if he or she would like their

golf ball cleaned. Do not wait until the last minute before

their shot. Have other golf balls clean and ready, just in case

they decide to change golf balls. Do not pick up your golfer's

ball, when on the tee box, fairway, bunker, rough, and green to

clean it. The ball must be cleaned before the tee shot, and

after the ball is marked on the green. The golfer will know the

playing rules. Let them give it to you to clean.



Replace golfer's divot



Typically you will find divots on fairway shots. That is not

always the case. Sometimes they will have to be replaced on tee

boxes. Wait for all golfers to finish their shot, if they are

behind you. When everyone starts to march out to his or her next

shot. Simply run out and pick up the turf and place back in

divot hole, and pack down with foot. Replace a couple of divots,

if you have time.



Repair ball marks on green



The golfer should do this task. The golfer may ask you to repair

the ball mark, if he or she is lining up their putt. Simply prop

up the grass around the hole with a tee and pack down with a

flat surface, such as a putter or sole of foot.



Tending the flagstick



Wait for the golfer to ask you to either pull the pin, or tend

it. Be nearby to keep play up to speed. Stay off of all golfers'

lines to the hole, and keep the flag from waving in the wind if

holding the flagstick for the golfer. Also keep your shadow away

from golfers's line. Make sure the flagstick is pulled when the

ball is rolling towards the hole. The golfer may occur a penalty

stroke, if they hit the pin when putting. The golfer has the

option to leave the flagstick in when off the green. Some

golfers like it out. Wait for instructions when another player

is off the green. Try to stand still when a golfer is putting.

After all golfers are finished putting, replace the flagstick

and check for golf clubs left behind.



Club selection advice



This particular task is for the experienced caddie, and or

caddie that has been with the same golfer for a while. Try to

memorize the distance of your golfer's shots and what club he or

she used. They may ask you for advice on what club to use on any

given hole. You may surprise them with your choice of clubs.

Let's hope it's a good surprise. If your not sure, do not guess.

Just remember. It's only advice. When your not sure of the

distance and club selection, encourage them on making the right

decision.



Keep sight of golfer's ball



When your golfer and other golfers are taking a golf shot,

always watch where the ball lands. Always keep a marker, like a

bush or particular size tree when it lands. This particular task

is very important. Your responsibility is for the golfer you are

caddying for. Try to look out for other players as well. This

could be the single most important task. No golfer wants to lose

a golf ball. When you can always find the golf ball, the golfer

will almost always want you to caddie for them again.
