    As we all know, wgt must make money or it is "goodbye wgt". With the caddie already in place, and knowing the value and, at times the treasure the PGA players pay for proven bag toters, why not here. In other words have caddies for rent, for a time period that provide advice for club, shot type, direction, etc; along with specific strength in certain aspects ie. putting wizard, club wizard, wind wizard and so forth, charging a sum based upon number of strengths chosen and time wanted. Dress the variety in different caddie avatar looks & duds, and display them next to the golf bag. Just a thought.

    It would be better than the caddie I have now that wants me to chip out of deep rough.

    It's not a bad idea.  However, IRL I've had my share of simply terrible caddies.  What makes a caddie worth their weight in gold is knowledge of the course and (what I consider most important), knowledge of my game.  Most rented caddies are simply glorified bag toters.  They know what they would hit in a certain situation, but don't really have a clue what you should hit.

    Here its a bit different.  The caddie knows what a perfectly hit shot with one's equipment will do.  If you could have a "Use our Caddie" option, then select what information you want (where to move the direction pointer in strong winds; what power percentage needs to be put on the shot; how much spin, etc.); WGT could charge a nominal fee for each bit of advice and, in the process, help their members!
