What Is required of the Guide in Blind Golf?

In Blind Golf the helper or guide (the Caddy) assists in lining up each shot, advisers the player of the distance and then helps by positioning the player and places the club behind the ball.

The blind golfer then takes it from that point; it should be noted that the caddy cannot assist in any way during the hitting of the ball or stroke.

There is so much to gain from being a helper or guide because you certainly influence the process. It must also be said you will feel the pain of of the not so good a shot or the missed putt. But that is all part of being a caddy or helper for a blind golf player.
