Portable Caddy
Professional golfers are lucky for a number of obvious reasons. They get to play the most exclusive courses in many of the worldâs great vacation destinations â and they get paid for it. But pro golfers enjoy a few other advantages that are a bit more subtle. For example, they have the means to hire a caddy. Caddies perform many valuable functions such as carrying clubs, reading greens and making strategic recommendations.
Perhaps the most indispensable talent a caddy must possess is a keen sense of range. Most professionals can estimate distances to the green to within a few feet. Now, thanks to the advent of products such as the Golf Buddy GPS, recreational players can take a virtual caddy around the course with them. This electronic rangefinder wonât carry your clubs, but it could very well shave a few strokes off your round.
