Journée d'un(e) Caddie

In golf, a caddy (or caddie) is the person who carries a player's bag and clubs, and gives insightful advice and moral support. A good caddy is aware of the challenges and obstacles of the golf course being played, along with the best strategy in playing it. This includes knowing overall yardage, pin placements and club selection. Particularly in Europe, the vast majority of clubs do not offer caddies, and amateur players will commonly carry their own bag.(Wikipédia)




The word caddie comes from the gascon Occitan capdèth or capdet, meaning chief then younger boy (became cadet in French and refers to the Cadets de Gascogne: the captains serving in the French army in the 15th century who were the youngest sons of the aristocratic families of Gascony). The term caddie or cadie first appeared in the English language in the year 1634.[1](Wikipédia)
