Caddy in DESPERATE need of help!?

Question

I took my first caddying lession today, and I am really confused about the yardage. Can anyone explain it all to me? Please and Thank You!

Answer 1

yardage on the scorecard is the distance to the whole. usually theres 3-4 different yardages on each hole on the card. there are usually 3 or 4 different areas u can tee off from depending on your skill level of golf/gender. they are differentiated by color, usually red is the ladies, white is middle, blue is the back, and black is the tips or championship. better golfer u are, the farther u play.
once ur out on the fairway, most golf courses, u'll see colored yardage sticks or paint strips of color on the cart path. usually blue is 200 yards away from the middle of the green, white 150, red 100. some courses will also have yardages on their sprinkler heads at common spots on the fairways.
as a caddy its also nice to let the golfer know where the pin is located on the hole. usually they have colored flags on the pin and red means the front of the green, white middle, and blue back. some courses have one color flag and position the flag on the pin low for front, middle, and high for back. if ur standing on the fairway at the white stick, 150 yards away and flag color is blue, since its 150 from the middle of the green, it'll be usually 10 yards or more depending on the size of the green. the golfer will appreciate it if u mention that the pin is at the back and might need more club.
it might be confusing because it was only ur 1st day, its really easy and ull catch on in no time. good luck

The yardage i how far away from the hole you are, there will be 100 and 150 markers indicated on courses so you pae out the distance and on some courses the might even have a 200 yard marker. As well on the scorecard the will be the yardage of the hole diplayed under the tee your playing off.

Answer 3

Most of the time they will have sprinkler heads with yardages on them. There are 3 different yardaged, one to the front edge, one to the middle, and one to the back edge of the green. Then just pace off the yardage from the marker to their ball if they ask you to (One large step is around a yard).
Also just remember to be courteous and nice and you should do fine.

Answer 4

The only time you're really going to need this is if you're caddying for a professional player. If you're just working at the local country club (i did at the Omaha CC about 30 years ago) They don't really expect you to have all that information.
As you gain experience you'll learn what you need to know to help the player. Good Luck. By the way, when I caddied in Omaha, I had no experience at all, my dad got the job for me, they just gave me very basic instructions and I learned the rest on my own.
