What a Caddie Should Be: 1898

A.J. Balfour – “A caddie is not, and ought not, to be regarded as a machine for carrying clubs at the rate of a shilling per round. He occupies, or ought to occupy, the position of competent adviser or interested spectator. He should be as anxious for the success of his side as if he were one of the players, and should watch each move in the game with benevolent, if critical, interest, always ready with the appropriate club, and, if need be, with appropriate comment.” From The Book of St Andrews Links by Andrew Bennett, 1898.
