Bernhard Langer’s caddie signals with just 3 words: ‘Less, more’ or ‘go; stop’

In the high-stakes world of golf, Bernhard Langer’s caddie, Terry Holt, communicates with a mere three words to guide the two-time Masters champion. This minimalist approach is all it takes for Langer to know precisely what shot he needs to execute.

After carefully assessing the green and wind conditions, Holt will instruct Langer whether to use “less” club or “more” club. A simple “go” prompts Langer to swing; a “stop” means he holds back.

This straightforward method of communication has been pivotal in making Langer one of golf’s all-time greats.

“We’ve had very, very few misunderstandings over the years,” Langer remarked. “It’s a remarkably efficient way to communicate.”

Celebrating success on the course takes on a unique flair with Holt as well. When Langer nails an exceptional shot, his caddie joyfully tosses his visor into the air.

“He doesn’t do it every time,” said Langer. “But when he does, it’s truly a special moment.”

With over 100 professional tournament victories under his belt—including Masters titles in 1985 and 1993—Langer’s legacy continues to shine brightly in the golfing world
