Every year for Mother's Day, we spend the day driving around Austin to make sure we have time to visit with my wife's folks (usually at lunch) and my own parents (usually at dinner).  So on mother's day itself, my own wife really doesn't get to do what she wants.

So a few years back we started the tradition on the Saturday before mother's day, of doing exactly what SHE wants.  And typically, what she wants is to lounge around all day by the pool, doing absolutely nothing, with me bringing her boat drinks, and me cooking a full-on brisket BBQ dinner with all the sides, and inviting over a select few friends and family (NOT our parents), for a relaxed afternoon and evening.  I even set up our outdoor blowup movie screen and outdoor projector, and we watched an outdoor movie of her choice-- which was Empire Strikes Back because my i s c & a aggie wife is awesome.

But anyway, none of that is the point of this-- I made my best brisket ever.  And since my brisket is better than restaurant brisket (even places like Franklin and Snow's), then it's possible I just made THE best brisket ever.  I say with great humility of course... ;)

caddies are useful

I've used them a few times when there was no option

such as the Ocean Course at Kiawah
Yeah, I haven't been at a course where there are caddies since, well, I was 13 years old. And I was the caddy.

I would enjoy going to a course where that is commonplace. But those courses are expensive. And adding a caddy on top of it ain't cheap. Not as cheap as it was to be paid to carry a bag when I was 13, anyway.

my memory isn't good, but I think the caddie at Kiawah was $60 + $20 tip

but you weren't allowed on the course w/o one.
well, unless you were a member

we also rode in carts.
It's a long drawn out course.  plenty of steps from green to the next tee box in spots
