THE CADDIE HISTORY

The term "caddie" originates from the 17th-century French word *le cadet*, meaning "the younger" or "youngest son." In Scotland, the word later evolved to describe a messenger or errand boy and eventually came to designate the person who carried a golfer's clubs.

Initially, caddies were often local boys or men hired to carry equipment and assist players. During the 19th century, as golf grew in popularity in Scotland, the role developed into a more specialized profession in which knowledge of the course, strategy, and the game itself became increasingly important.

Andrew Dickson is considered the first named caddie in history. As a young man, he worked as a forecaddie for the Duke of York during rounds played at Leith Links in the winter of 1681–1682. Dickson later became a prominent golf club maker and thus holds a special place in the history of golf.

ABOUT ME

Golf has been an integral part of my life since I was ten years old. Over the years, I have spent countless hours on golf courses across Sweden, where my interest has gradually evolved from the game itself to the many factors that contribute to high-level performance. I have been particularly fascinated by the role of the caddie, which led me to train as a professional caddie through the PGA of Sweden. This training provided me with the knowledge and tools needed to offer expert support tailored to each player's specific needs, goals, and level of ambition.

In my professional life, I work for the Swedish Police Authority, where handling responsibility and making well-founded decisions under pressure are routine aspects of the job. Golf provides me with balance and a way to recharge, while also continuing to challenge and help me grow. My home club is located in the Gothenburg region. I am available for assignments in Sweden, the Nordic countries, Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world, including the USA.

I have experience working on the DP World Tour, Ladies European Tour, LETAS, and EGA circuits. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your experience and performance on the course. Together, we can set new goals and achieve success.

MY MISSION

My mission is to provide you with the best possible conditions to perform at your peak. As your caddie, I offer well considered, professional support throughout the round, from strategic decisions to the finer details that can determine the outcome.

I assist with course strategy and game plans, measure and verify distances, analyze wind conditions, locate shots, and ensure your equipment is in top condition by keeping clubs and grips clean and dry. I also help read putts and serve as a source of mental support and a sounding board when the pressure is on.

Together, we form a team focused on creating a sense of confidence, providing the right information for decision making, and establishing the ideal conditions for you to perform at your highest level. At the same time, the game should be a positive experience, characterized by enjoyment, dedication, and a shared drive to achieve strong performances and excellent results.
