In golf, where did the term "Caddie" come from??
When Mary, later Queen of Scots, went to France as a young girl
(for education and survival), Louis, King of France, learned that
she loved the Scot game "golf." So he had the first golf course
outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was
property chapperoned (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired
cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked this a
lot and when she returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the
long run) , she took the practice with her. In French, the word cadet
is pronouced "ca-day" and the Scots changed it into "caddie."
Have a wonderful day !!!!!
