The Hardest Walks in Professional Golf (From a Caddie’s Perspective)

Honestly? Sometimes it’s the walk.

Ask any experienced tour caddie and you’ll hear the same names come up:

🥵 Le Golf National:  side slopes, brutal heat, and endless climbs.

⛰️ Augusta National: TV never shows how steep it really is.

🌬️ Royal Portrush: wind, dunes, and elevation changes that don’t forgive you.

🌡️ Dubai Desert Classic: heat management becomes as important as club selection.

But the hardest walks usually aren’t about the terrain, they’re about the moment:

- Walking up 18 needing par

- Trying to settle a nervous player

- Carrying a season’s hopes inside that bag

- Knowing one swing can change everything

Caddying isn’t just a job.

It’s physical, mental and emotional.
