'Enjoy the front nine and try to make your score here as they tend to play a bit easier. The trade winds do not affect your ball flight as much on the front - but beware the back nine!'

"Caddies are like tour guides for golfers. The caddies on the Ocho Rios course understand the elevation changes, slopes, and dynamics of the course, and can give advice when needed. Let them help you!"
