Multiple caddies
Met,
There are several issues at hand. The intent of the player to take advantage of loopholes. The rule is in place (imo) to protect the player. If the caddie is unwilling or unable to perform, he may be replaced.
Can the spotter share the info in a meaningful way? Can the player hit the ball close enough to take any statistical advantage? How many times per round? The best putters--the ones who could most benefit from this info--tend to read their own putts.
How would you pay 18 caddies?
What do you give up in areas other than green reading by changing caddies every hole?
No surprise about this happening to Allenby. I have heard someone say that Allenby wanted to hit the wrong club so he could yell at his caddie.
