[QUOTE="IlliniJim20, post: 1315737, member: 10516"] Course knowledge is a huge advantage. PGA pros know courses for years, can remember exact shots for years, exactly where they [I]want[/I] to place a tee shot, where to make their approach, breaks on the greens etc etc. I caddied at a club for 10 years. Have not seen the course in probably 30 years, but I can still picture where the drives need to go, what to avoid. Yardages are fuzzy, and technology makes the strategy different,but you get the point. Side note, the course I caddied at was where Jerry Rich, who created and developed Rich Harvest Farms, was a member. Pretty cool backstory to Rich Harvest You still have to execute the shots, but course knowledge, particularly on the greens is a tremendous advantage. [/QUOTE]
