Well put ICON, the caddies follow the rules you have for them. OH MY. I have not used a WGT caddy for that exact reason. LOL. Way too many lost balls.

Interesting ICON, everyone in this thread says the caddy will almost always give you the wrong club selection, and you say the caddy follows very specific rules for club selection... deducing these 2 facts would it not be reasonable to assume WGT has intentionally designed the caddy to give you clubs that will aid in the creation of bad shots and thus missed balls? OR are you guys just really bad at club selection??
Yes, I figured I should try to clarify before tinfoil stock prices go up.
I don't have all the rules caddy's have memorized but here are few of them:
Let's assume you have 142 yards to the hole and your partner has 146 yards. And you both have head wind.
99% of the time both of you will hit 165 club (if you have 150, 165 club) but caddy will give you different clubs based on the rule we have for it.
the rule is simple: if distance is = or < 5 yards then you get club up, if it's > then next club. Therefore, person with 142 to the hole will get 150 club while one with 146 gets 165.
Situation also gets complicated from rough and fridge and I don't know all the rules there but suffice to say they are a bit more complex.
This also explains why you get drive on certain long par 3's that play downhill and you often hit 4i instead of driver.
My point is, always adjust your clubs and never assume that what caddy gives u is correct.
