Or do you hire an Augusta National Golf Club caddy?

I’d go with the looper who has seen the course hundreds of times.

Do they stick with relatives because they are comfortable?

Do they hire a local for the practice round?

Tough to say .. My daughter and I play a lot of golf together.. and we see the courses typically the same , read greens similar and have similar playing styles..

Yeah, it would be nice to have someone who's seen the course a lot but if they do gel well together that could be a bit of an issue... how big who knows.. Golf is hard

Yeah I'd say relatives caddying has everything to do with comfort. Mental part of this game is somewhat hard for a young kid to grasp. Trust I've watched mine play competitive golf for 3 years now and the mental part is probably her biggest hurdle.

Would definitely be nice to have someone that knows the course walk with us on a practice round mainly for and extra set of eyes on things we wouldn't know about the course..

One of my daughters friend played in ANWA - and made the cut AT 15 years old! Dad caddied for first two rounds - Augusta caddy for last round.

Winds were the difficult part of caddying at champions retreat especially on Day 2…

Seems like local course knowledge makes a huge difference

My older daughter has found the perfect caddy for her and she likes to use him when she can - it would be a hard call for something like ANWA - but I’d be very happy to be in the position to have that kind of stress :)

Meh. Would be on her bag 100 percent and would make sure I did my job of being able to calm her down etc. Unless there was a horse whisperer that I knew would be her caddy.

Cool story, my neighbors' across the street 23 year old son is a Caddy as Augusta and caddied the Amateur for an Asian girl the last 2 years. She requested him again this year.
