Caddy Rules

pardthemonster · May 07 2012, 06:34 PM

Are caddies allowed to give suggestions (e.g. disc selection) to their player while in a sanctioned tournament?

I thought I remembered a rule about players giving players tips in a sanctioned tournament being not allowed. Is this allowed even?

No restrictions.

Heck, I sometimes give my opponents advice. Usually "Go for it!" when they're facing a deathputt.

That rule is in golf, and caddies are an exception to the rule in golf.

The benches are for players...so get up and move that bag too!
