Every great caddie knows, it’s not just about where to hit the ball, it’s about knowing where not to.
A well annotated yardage book is more than a collection of numbers, it’s a blueprint for smart decision making. It marks carry distances, slopes, safe zones, danger areas, and crucially, where the best misses are.
No golfer hits every shot perfectly but the difference between a bogey and a double (or worse) often comes down to preparation.
When a player knows the right side to miss on, they can swing with confidence, and a good caddie makes that possible.
That’s why learning to annotate a yardage book properly is such an essential skill. It’s not just about distances, it’s anticipating mistakes, and always being one step ahead.
Golf isn’t won by perfect shots, it’s often won by how the bad shots are punished.
