What Is a Golf Caddy?

A caddy, or caddie, is one who carries or handles a player’s clubs during play and otherwise assists him in accordance with the rules.

When one caddy is employed by more than one player, he is always deemed to be the caddy of the player whose ball is involved, and equipment carried by him is deemed to be that player’s equipment, except when the caddy acts upon specific directions of another player, in which case he is considered to be that other player’s caddy.
