Hogan Rolls Over in His Grave
“All I did is get on each tee and wait until (Edmondson – his caddy) told me what to do,” said PGA TOUR player Ryan Palmer. “He told me what side of the tee box to get on, and what side he wanted me to be on, what target he wanted me to hit, and it was my job to hit the shot.”
Palmer played well at the Byron Nelson Championship using this approach losing in a playoff but in my opinion being so other-directed is not good in golf.
Takeaway: Self-reliance is a mindset and under pressure you gather information rather than ask for advice.

“A lot of the kids on the tour nowadays hire instructors, so they aren't really thinking for themselves about their technique and how to improve. They don't trust themselves and when things start going badly, they have nowhere to turn. In the middle of a round, they can't call their coach to come over and give them a tip.
But they can ask their caddy
