I have a pal that I play a lot with.  He and I club together similar distances etc. and he’s a very good player.  We walk and play together and I’ve caught us both at different times caddying for the other guy.  Usually on days when one of us is struggling.  We just have an uncanny knack for motivating the other.   We both analyze and vocalize the decision making progress the same.  Very much like watching Jordan and Mikey , or web and Paul … we both talk a lot in the process.  Also why were a great pairing for any partners matches.  We haven’t spoke to this.  But it opened my eyes to what kind of a caddy would work for me.  It’s truly unfair to pair us together in any team setting.  
 

For me a caddy discussion for a successful relationship on course would go like this.  Always discuss it. High success rate of agreement.  But if I want to do something different, shut up and  get behind It and confirm it for the moment….Then. If I screw it up. Don’t be afraid to let me hear it.  I do not mind negative feedback as long as it’s warranted. Just be ready to stand by it. Lol.  But I’d do so with the stated understanding that Im Loyal to a fault and expect the same.  A relationship like that won’t work if constantly under the threat of firing.  That’s just a weak persons way to control.  Make good hires.  Then ride them until there’s no choice.  Or to success. 

I would probably just tell the caddy to keep my bag close by so I don't have to walk too far to pull a club.  Otherwise just help me find errant shots.

Lol.  Hey I get it.  It’s personal preference.   I can play alone just fine. I’m still having the conversation……  But if you’re standing close to me you’re going to hear  me talking  to myself.  So you may as well reply.  😂.

That Matsuyama 3-Wood is a Top-10 all-time shot.

Love that picture of the caddy's Japanese notes. Reminds me of when I first came to Japan and was trying to pick up the language.

similar to the "show up, keep up, shut up" mantra that Jack Nicklaus espoused?
