I've never had a caddy.
I always liked those long Eldorados from the '70s.

I've never hired a caddy. In Ireland we took trolleys because the wife was not comfortable enough with her game to want a caddy with us. That was kind of a bummer.

I toted a hell a lot of bags between the ages of 12 and 15, mostly to play on Mondays at a local country club. Went there four or five days a week with a buddy. In those days fees were $4.75 for a "B" caddy, and $6.00 for an "A" caddy. Tips ranged from $.25 to $5.00 with a buck or two the norm. After getting paid, we would generally go across the highway to the mall, get a hot dog and fries at the grill in J.C. Penny's, then go to the arcade, Aladdin's Castle, turn the what was left of the fee into quarters, and play pin ball and driving games until one of our parents got off work and came and picked us up. This was before video games.

I was kind of a lousy caddy. I had to go back to caddy school twice, but I won the caddy championship two years in a row.
