Just to add that the Scots eventually abbreviated to "cads" or "caddies", meaning any useless street kid who could b ehired for the day to carry around a bag of golf clubs.
Just think of the difference between then and now. They have to know more than the golfer it seems like. Strategy, the course, all kinds of stuff. The don't get paid by the Country Club either so they work for tips or a golfer will have their own caddie. I hear they get really good tips though.
