A player's caddie is an outside influence.

A player's caddie is an outside influence.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not applicable
• D. Depends on the tournament

Answer: (B)

The idea behind this is that outside influence means help or interference from someone not on the player's side. A caddie is considered part of the player's team during a round, so they are not an outside influence. The caddie can assist with club choice, distance, and other allowed support as part of the player’s group. If a spectator or another person not in the player's group provides advice or moves the ball, that would be outside influence. So the statement is false.
