I'm just wondering if they are paid to wear the logos of their player. Maybe it's part of the players deal. Anyone know?

Good question. I would imagine they get something from the players deal. It wouldn't look cool for a caddy to wear a Callaway cap when the player is sponsored by Ping.

Depends on the caddie. Super prominent caddies could have their own endorsements - I think Stevie has a logo on his shirt that isn't one of Tiger's endorsements, but I'm sure Tiger gave permission for it.

But in general, it's probably based on the player's endorsement.

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

I believe that Stevie has a Valvoline endorsement. I am sure Tiger has to okay it. Interesting to know what the dollar figures would be for that particular spot?

I am sure that you are right. The caddy and the player are sort of "partners" and often close friends---Tiger and Steve, Lee Trevino and Hermn Mitchell, Nick Price and "Squeaky", Tom Watson and Bruce Edwards, Payne Stewart and Mike Hicks, so it would be logical that the caddy be included in some endorsement agreements.

Sometimes, the caddy can negotiate his or her own endorsement contract(s), but he or she had better clear it with "the boss". Supposedly, Fluff Cowan's endorsement contracts made Earl Woods upset and Fluff was canned, and became Jim Furyk's caddy.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?
