I imagine links golf makes for a nice break from target golf, but it might become exhausting if it happened to often.
If you dont mind indulging me, and hopefully some other interested posters, lurkers and readers:
1) What do you guys do when your player has a break? Do you go on your own break, or do you pick up someone else's bag for the week (or two)?
2) How many caddies have a "personal" Career Slam? Fluff and Williams are obvious, maybe Dave Musgrove, but are there any else that has "achieved" something like that? Anyone with four different players (talk about picking players)?
3) What tourneys treat you the best? The worst? USGA? R&A?
4) You guys probably see more airport waiting lounges than Hugh Hefner sees Playmates, has travelling become even more of a burden post 9/11?
Again, appreciate your time and kindness, if you ever have to caddie in Sweden you'll have a place to stay, just drop me a PM.
Kumabjorn,
1) Normally go home. I have worked the odd off week.
2) No idea.
3) Wachovia, Mexico (Mayacoba sp?) Worst.....don't know--it has gotten better the last few years.
4) Big Burden. I used to turn up at my small airport 20 minutes before the flight. My last flight I arrived 2 1/2 hours ahead on the return trip. Another note. Try not to leave Vegas on Sunday evening.

Woaw, that sounds really, really bad. Bet those who caddy for a player using private jets feel pretty lucky. Maybe you guys will go back to car pooling?
I've met a few caddies on the European Tour and it is amazing how the older guys miss the earlier times when they all went by cars to different tournaments. Thy think that it has become a bit to rational and efficient these days. One guy told me about a van they christened The Belgrano (an Argentine man-o-war that was particualarly inept) that four or five caddies would traverse around Europe in and making a few extra bucks by transporting bags for some players. If it was players they didn't like they sometimes swapped shafts in even or odd numered irons, insuring that his yardages would be off for a few days before the prank was discovered.
