While golfing is a highly individual sport, no golfer stands on his own - he has one very important teammate, and that is his caddy.  In fact, the relationship between the golfer and his caddy is essential to his performance.  When that relationship ends and a golfer takes on a new caddy, the transition can be very turbulent.  It is the start of a brand new relationship, and depending on why the caddy changed happened, it may signify the beginning of something great - or a time of trouble.  How can you evaluate the impact?  Here are some important considerations:
