Word origin

The term 'caddie' has its origins in the 16th century, derived from the French word 'cadet', which means 'young man' or 'assistant'. The word was used to describe a young boy who assisted adult golfers by carrying their equipment. Over time, the term evolved, and by the 19th century, it specifically referred to a person who provided support to golfers on the course. The professional role of the caddy became more popular with the rise of golf as a sport, especially in Scotland, where the modern game of golf originated. Caddies not only carry clubs but also give strategic advice on playing the course, making their role vital in a golfer's performance.
