And I certainly didn&#8217;t mention anything about caddies. Yet at one point when it was his turn to hit,\u00a0he grabbed his toddler-sized putter and said to me: &#8220;The club boy brought me another club.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Club boy? Who&#8217;s the club boy? &#8220;The boy that gives us our clubs&#8221; was his answer. This surprised me since he knows nothing about golf caddies (he&#8217;s never even watched the pro tour on TV). And while he was probably just saying silly things that 3-year-olds say, \u00a0I wondered if there could be more to this.<\/p>\n<p>Here we have someone at the very beginning of his introduction to the game of golf&#8230;yet already he seems to consider that part of this game should include someone that hands you clubs. This leads me to the following question: Are caddies meant to be part of this game?<\/p>\n<p>If the pro tours are any example, the answer is yes. Everyone has a caddie on tour. And the USGA rules allow for a caddie too &#8211; and in fact define &#8220;caddie&#8221; as &#8220;one who assists the player.&#8221; In addition, caddies have been part of golf for quite a while: <a title=\"excaddie\" href=\"http:\/\/ezcaddie.com\/caddie.htm\">One source<\/a>\u00a0even says &#8220;Mary, Queen of Scots, came up with the term &#8216;caddie&#8217;\u00a0in the late 16th century.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So if it&#8217;s true that caddies are meant to be part of golf, then it stands to reason we&#8217;re handicapping ourselves when we don&#8217;t use one &#8211; right? It&#8217;s just another reason to site the popular GolfStinks\u00a0<a title=\"golf stinks golf glossary\" href=\"http:\/\/www.golfstinks.com\/glossarypage#paf\">PAF rule<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we average golfers don&#8217;t have access to caddies because most courses realized years ago that it would be cheaper to provide us with motorized golf carts instead. As fun as it is to drink and drive in those golf go-karts, they hardly replace the original. Sure &#8211; having a GPS in the cart will tell you how far you have to the pin, but where is the advice on how the putt breaks? Or the club recommendation? And perhaps most importantly, the moral support?<\/p>\n<p>I say golf courses should consider bringing back an option to have a real caddie. I bet there are plenty of teens and retirees that would work for just tips &#8211; I&#8217;d be willing to pay more per round to have a caddie at my side &#8211; even if it was just once in a while.<\/p>\n<p>Am I way off base here? Am I simplifying it too much? Why should the pros have all the fun?<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back at the start of the winter, I was putting with my 3-year-old son on the practice mat behind our living room couch.\u00a0I wasn&#8217;t giving him serious lessons or anything (not that I&#8217;m qualified to do so anyway) &#8211; I was just trying to focus him on the basic putting stroke.
