Thanks for putting me on the spot Hb

I've read all the posts with interest and may post a more indepth response, however for now, I believe that doing your job is a given and to be successful, your ability to read and understand human nature (deal with people under strees) ranks right up near the top.

Oh, by the way, a caddie should never, never take abuse from anyone under any circumstances. No one respects a 'whipping boy'.




UPDATE:

During the first round of the Canadian Open this week it appears that the caddie of a Tour player decided that enough was enough. As the story goes; after an incident, he dropped the bag, cleaned out all the balls; gave two to the pro, threw the rest in the water and walked off the course.

There are at least two sides to every story but general comments coming from members of their group would tend to indicate that the Pro was out of line.

The caddie had another job on Friday and his old boss missed the cut.
