Definition

A caddy is a person who carries a golfer’s clubs and gives advice on the golf course. It can also mean a small container used for holding items, especially tea or utensils.

Usage & Nuances

In golf, 'caddy' (also spelled 'caddie') only refers to the helper, not the golf cart. As a container, it’s often for tea ('tea caddy') or cutlery ('cutlery caddy'). Distinct from 'caddy' as in a shopping cart, which is more common in British English and spelled 'caddie'.
