Is golf truly individual? Most of those other events the competitor doesn't have anyone offering advice while they compete, but a golfer has his caddy to help talk him through every shot.

Tennis the coach is in the stands giving all sorts of signals, grand prix drivers have earphones!

at the end of the day the caddy cant play the shot or make the final decision, if they were that good they wouldnt be the caddy!
