Yeah. Like not asking for direction… You might figure it out eventually but makes for a better day with a good caddy
Wouldn’t have even occurred to us tbf, up until we were trying to figure out where the fairway is after disappearing to

Yeah I would have zero issue paying a caddy on q nice course like that… One caddy and one forecaddy would have been A1
Forecaddies are usually put on blind holes and not sent out with groups I always presumed.
Theyd track shots from a blind corner and the like.
You’d want your head examined to pay for a caddie, most of the craic is getting lost

If there isn’t enough caddies here, one guy might go and do forecaddy for the group sometimes, usually one of the aulder shtocks. It’s a fair benefit for those type of links
Them boys get some money off the yanks. I played a round with a scratch golfer who was caddying below in Ballybunnion. He was telling me the tips were a absolutely off the scale at times

You can pay for a forecaddy to go with you for the full round if you want. Generally he is a lot cheaper as only one between the group
I caddies a bit in the States when I was there for a few student summers. Not much enjoyment IMVHO in paying big green fee for a round and spending half the round looking for your ball. Especially somewhere you might never again play
You have to take a caddy in Adare. Loads of retired guards and teachers at it. Full professional set up with full time caddy master. If you were any good you’d pick up a grand a week handy in the summer.
Sure a caddy is standing beside you. He wont stop you hitting a bad shot like.
I’d never give too much time looking for a ball. If you dont find it in 30 seconds it generally is gone to God. I’d give a few stamps on the line I took and throw one out

Exactly, if your playing off 18+ a caddy isn’t worth a shite to you unless your gonna let him take your shot for ye.

This lad DeChambeau doesn’t look much like a golfer in the traditional sense. He’s a big, muscular, mechanical looking lad who relies on power without the soft hands of say, Mickleson. He’s like a gorilla with a length of qualplex cutting his way through a swathe of thistles. cc @glenshane

He’s actually quite decent in and around the green… He’s fucking nuts though for a smart cunt
Mickleson rolling back the years here. He’ll have the crowd behind him too.

Hes the most hated man on the tour, by the players.
Figjam they call him
Why would he be hated?
Have you ever watched a round of golf that he’s playing… He seems to be an even bigger prick now than he ever was
I would have thought Phil was an alright sort - well able to take the piss out of himself

Phil is a legend. To win at 50 would be an incredible achievement. Even more so as its the longest major in history and the calibre of player in behind.
