Golf Trolley � Pull trolleys, Fire the Caddy

There are many funny stories of caddies' mistakes over the years � more reason to fire the caddy and pull your own golf trolley!

Pull your own golf trolley

One good reason to pull your own golf trolley includes the instance when a caddy at the start of his career became known as �Two Shots'. The nickname came about after two occasions which resulted in the golfer being penalized. The first was when a ball landed just yards from the deep rough. When the golfer said, �Gee, that was lucky� the caddy replied: �It sure was, if it hadn't hit the bag it would have been in that thick grass over there!� One good reason why sometimes it makes more sense to pull your own golf trolley!

Sack the Caddy!

The second occasion was a few weeks later with the same caddy. He dropped a club head cover and ran back to get it, asking a friend to take the bag on to his golfer. The golfer was penalized, as the rules state you can only have one caddy, by using the assistance of another, it counted as two. If only the golfer had been in charge of his bag using golf trolley or pull trolleys!

Get a golf trolley

Pulling your own golf trolley and pull trolleys can even look more appealing next to veteran tour caddies. On one US PGA Tour, a seasoned caddy laid his player's golf bag behind a big tree to avoid any stray shots hitting the bag and incurring a penalty. But a well meaning Marshall had moved the bag � his golfer bizarrely ended up hitting his next shot into his own golf bag!

It shouldn't happen to a Caddy

Next time you're wheeling your own golf bag around on a golf trolley or pull trolleys and bemoaning the fact you don't have your own personal caddy to carry your bags for you, remember these stories. In the 1980s US Tour, Leonard Thompson was about to putt a ball into the hole. His caddy lifted the pin for the ball to go in, but a tee peg fell from behind his ear into the path of the putt. The ball hit the peg.

Appreciate your golf trolley

You'll appreciate pulling your golf trolley when you think about Ignacio Garrido in the 1999 European Tour. His caddy had added an extra golf club to his bag after hitting a few shots for himself on the practice range. He forgot to take it out, and Garrido got a four shot penalty, which wouldn't have been so bad � but he came second to Colin Montgomery by two shots. Ouch! Perhaps the professionals would be better off looking after their own golf bags and investing in good quality golf trolley or pull trolleys!
