Excuse my ignorance but what is a forecaddy?

Jon

Essentially, a caddie who doesn't carry your clubs.  The players, typically, carry their clubs in a (motor) cart. One forecaddie is assigned to the foresome and performs the other typical caddie support.

Thanks Howard,

he cleans the clubs, tends the flags, advises on clubs, etc. Wow, new concept for me. Why the hell would you hire a caddy and carry your own :o Bizarre

You read the part about the cart right? ;D ;D ;)

To be fair, Doral is(or at least was) cart paths only in the winter until after the tournament so anyone riding is in for a long day of cart chasing and walking to their ball.
Might as well arrange for an actual caddy and ditch the cart,which you can.

Trump often uses two forecaddies. One to take the traditional job of going forward to locate the ball and to tend the pin etc. Trump also employs a second forecaddy to yell "Fore" every time that he hits a ball off line.

Would that be an eightcaddie? ;) ;D ;D

Looks like the driving range will be vastly improved as well

If you have ever watched the trump show on the golf channel, then you would know trump thinks the range is the most important part of any golf course.
