If you're a recreational golfer like myself, the concept of a golf caddie is somewhat foreign to you. Although I would love to have someone follow me around the course carrying my clubs and offering me advice, I've simply never been given such an opportunity.
Caddying may seem like a simple role, but good caddies are hard to come by and have a long list of responsibilities including reading the greens, cleaning the ball, raking the sand trap, tending the flag, helping with club selection, providing weather variables, and perhaps most importantly providing mental support to the player.
I got started on this post because I was recently introduced to an interesting new business venture... A website developed to help professional caddies and tour players get connected. I'm not sure how big the market is for this kind of thing, but professional caddy Matt Hall believes that Tour Caddies 4 U will serve as a useful tool for caddies and golfers alike.

The truth is that a professional golf caddy is not just a ricksha. The golf caddies are of the same importance as the personal coaches in any other kind of professional sport.
