91 Rule 10 Whether or not the player has a caddie, any other person who walks or rides along with the player or who carries other things for the player (such as a rainsuit, umbrella or food and drink) is not the player’s caddie unless they are named as such by the player or also carries, transports or handles the player’s clubs. (2) Two or More Players May Share a Caddie. When there is a Rules issue involving a specific action of a shared caddie and it needs to be decided which player the action was taken for: • If the caddie’s action was taken at the specific direction of one of the players sharing the caddie, the action was taken for that player. • If none of those players specifically directed that action, the action is treated as taken for the player sharing the caddie whose ball was involved. • If none of the players sharing the caddie specifically directed the caddie’s action and none of those players’ balls were involved, all players sharing the caddie get the penalty. See Rules 25.2, 25.4 and 25.5 (players with certain disabilities may also get help from an aide). See Committee Procedures, Section 8; Model Local Rule H-1 (the Committee may adopt a Local Rule prohibiting or requiring the use of caddies or restricting a player’s choice of caddie). Penalty for Breach of Rule 10.3a: • The player gets the general penalty for each hole during which they are helped by more than one caddie at any one time. • If the breach happens or continues between two holes, the player gets the general penalty for the next hole.
