Hey everyone, I have a chance to caddy at the pro-am next weekend at the byron nelson for a teacher of mine. While he keeps reassuring me to relax and not worry i cant help but picture myself breaking a rule and punishing him. Ibe played golf with my dad since i was 12, and know most etiquette and rules (dont step in a players line, dont mark another players ball etc) but just wondering if yall could help me out on common caddy rules and what not. Thanks guys!

If your player and another player are in a sand trap, don't rake it until everyone has played their shot!

That's typically how it works. Another tip is NEVER touch the putting surface with your hands....could be construed as testing the "grain"

I would suggest that you shouldn't touch the green at all. If you touch the green with the flag stick or anything else to give your player a line, he will also be penalized.

oh wow ok thanks again! also i havent watched a golf tourney in a few months and cant seem to remember the flag etiquette, i know at the course when i play people just kinda set it off to the side even on the green sometimes. is it right to pick it up once everyone is on the green and set it on the ground off the green, or stand there and hold it off the green?

Remember, when your player is putting that you must nor stand on the line behind the player.

You may point out a line before he putts but must not touch the putting green.

It was really fun, it was the first of three different pro ams where the pro is just a local pro. Well i get there and turns out he is the pro of the group! But there were no galleries or anything so very laid back! Awesome experience!

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 32 (12 Dec 25) - What was the Friday shootout became a practice round due to lack of enough players (temps kept a lot of the regulars home).  Used it to dial in some playing distances as I played back a set of tees to force alternate club selections.  Plenty of long approaches - every club was put into action thru the course is 18 holes. Was not a GiR day but rather nGIR (5 up and down pars).  Pin placement was tough - the smallest miss would see the ball roll just as far past or even off the green.  Was a great day of battling what the course was dealing. Overall - I finished 5 strokes over my average score of 86.
