In my opinion, a caddie should be dead certain that he is aware of his responsibilities and prohibitions well before he ever picks up a bag.  That way, if something does come up that leaves him uncertain of what he should do, he will be well enough informed to simply do nothing until asked.  I can't imagine a properly trained caddie taking an action like this without receiving specific instructions from his player.  And rather than taking responsibility for his error, he then tries to put the blame on the rules official, who actually WAS doing his job. The caddie deserved to be fired.

Like what? It's a golf forum. This was a golf news topic this week.

Yes, But it was ruled on, interpretations of the rules, opinions, are fine.But what I see in this is a person doing a job badly and looking for an excuse, no sympathy for his actions. Sorry just don't see this as something I would want to dwell on.

I don't see anyone especially "dwelling" on it.  I saw the thread when I came on this morning and commented.  Then I moved on until I saw your post.  Now I've commented on that, and I'm moving on again.  :-)

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
