We asked a few of the best caddies on the LPGA what they notice the top players do differently than other players. It was 27 years ago, but their answers and observations are still valid today. These are timeless attributes for playing the game.

Here’s what Mark, Colin, Ken, and Carl had to say: “They know themselves. They practice smarter and know how to conserve energy throughout the week." “Practice harder and better, inner motivation and disciplined to stay with their plans. Know how to plan for different roles on tour, practice time, time for themselves, media, and friends.” “They interpret situations differently. They don’t panic after a few bogeys, and they know how to bounce back. They feel at home on tour and take space, you see it in their body language.” “They can play a decent round no matter how their ball striking is. They figure out what shots they can hit that day and get it around.” >> What is one thing you can start doing more of for your own game?
