I caddied for 5 summers. Caddies ride on the back of carts when they are "Shaggin" and not carrying bags. It was easy money! Rake traps, Shag Balls, Clean Clubs... no lugging round 2 heavy bags for 5-6 miles!
We called it forecaddying at the club I caddied at. We had to sprint ahead to watch the foursome's tee-shots then obtain yardage for them before they arrived. Then they'd hit their approach, we'd clean the clubs, fix the divots, etc.
What makes this a great picture is that there are tons of members at clubs that never let caddies ride on the back of their carts. Ever. Even if lightning is rolling in and you need to get to shelter.
The best forecaddie loops were with members that would always tell you to hop on so you weren't running to the green every hole or the ones that would occasionally want to walk so they'd let you drive their cart ahead to spot for them.
Caddying is a great educational experience for any lurking parental pedes. The summers I spent caddying in High School and during my college years was basically like obtaining a 4 year communications degree. Not only that but I was developing a book of contacts that I still have today. The cash isn't bad either if you're good at it. It helped pay for the bulk of my education.
