Walking 12+ Miles a Day – The Physical Side of Club Caddying

Caddying isn’t just mental—it’s physical. But how fit do you need to be?

On average, a club caddie can cover 10–15 miles in a single day carrying a bag that often weighs 25 pounds or more. Add in hills, heat, and early mornings, and it becomes clear: caddies are athletes too.

That’s why fitness, nutrition, and recovery are part of being a professional caddie. Because if you’re not at your best physically, it’s hard to support your player mentally.

Caddying is endurance, discipline, and resilience rolled into one. And it deserves recognition as a true performance role.
