We often talk about the technical side of being a great caddie—yardages, wind direction etc, but what about the psychology behind caddying?
One of the most valuable tools in a caddie’s arsenal is emotional intelligence.When pressure builds, emotions run high.
A player’s confidence can swing as quickly as their tempo. That’s when a good caddie becomes a steady presence—not just a guide, but a psychological safety net.
💬 Knowing when to speak—and when to stay silent.
🎯 Spotting signs of frustration before it leads to bad decisions.
🙌 Offering calm reassurance after a poor shot… or knowing when a gentle challenge is what’s needed.
If you’re looking to improve as a caddie—or build a career in this space—don’t just study swing mechanics or yardage books. Join Caddy Clubhouse where we cover every element of the art.
