The best golf lesson I ever had was from a caddie who had fewer teeth in his mouth than I had clubs in my bag. He was half my age but didn’t let me get away with anything.

I've been playing for more than 40 years and still haven't had the pleasure of having a caddy carry my bag and tell me what to do. I got to watch them at the practice range at Pinehurst a few years ago. They would stand behind their client and write down the yardages of each club hit.
