Meet Gerry Carry: The Internet's Favorite Caddie and Great Golf Guide

The man, the myth, the legend.

Golf has always been a game of skill, strategy, and mental toughness. But if you ask anyone who’s played at a high level, they’ll tell you that one of the most underrated assets in the game isn’t a club, a ball, or even a swing—it’s a great caddie.

Enter Gerry Carry, the charismatic, knowledgeable, and endlessly entertaining caddie who has taken TikTok and Instagram by storm. With a mix of humor, storytelling, and real-world caddying wisdom, Gerry has shown the world just how important a good bag man (or woman) can be. Whether he’s helping a golfer pick the right club, reading a tricky putt, or delivering the perfect motivational jab, Gerry embodies what makes a great caddie invaluable including making golf more fun.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting and playing a round with Gerry and got to show off the TANGENT app on the course.

Why Caddies Are the Secret Weapon of Great Golfers

Caddies have been a cornerstone of golf for centuries, helping players navigate courses, avoid costly mistakes, and make smarter decisions. The best caddies don’t just carry clubs—they carry knowledge. They understand a golfer’s game better than the golfer does at times, factoring in course conditions, wind, distance, and the all-important mental game… Sound familiar… thats what we’re building with TANGENT.

The benefits of a caddie include:

• Course Management: Caddies know where to miss, where to be aggressive, and when to play it safe.

• Club Selection: A caddie understands distances, ball flight, and conditions to recommend the right club.

• Green Reading: A great caddie sees the subtle breaks and grain changes that the average golfer misses, or in TANGENT’s case, log your tendencies to improve over time.

• Mental Support: Golf is tough, and a caddie’s words can either make or break a round. A good target makes it easier to commit and hit better shots.

Watching Gerry Carry in action, you see all these elements at play. He’s not just handing clubs—he’s shaping decisions, coaching confidence, and making sure his player maximizes their potential on every shot. Make sure to follow Gerry as he is going to help us share the benefits of TANGENT with the world.

TANGENT’s Caddie gets an Upgrade

Not every golfer has the luxury of a Gerry Carry walking alongside them. That’s why TANGENT exists—to be the best caddie you’ve ever had, right in your pocket.

Much like Gerry, TANGENT learns your game, tracks your tendencies, and helps you make better decisions on the course and much like the Gerry Carry giving his players upgraded gear… TANGENT is getting an upgrade.

We’ve been working hard in the lab to improve the functionality of TANGENT to help you play better golf and it starts with bag mapping:

Upcoming feature in v3.0.3

In the new clubs section, TANGENT will show your bag mapping for your current caddie configuration and your actual performance so that you can make sure the Caddie is tuned how you like it for on course recommendations. You’ll get alerts when there is significant mismatch between caddie and actual so that you can use our AI suggestions for better on course decisions.

Editing a club has never been easier, or more visual.

You can even compare clubs now to finally put to bed if it’s better to hit Driver or 3W.

New club comparison feature in v3.0.3 releasing soon.

And that just scratches the surface of new features coming in the next TANGENT update. We thrive off of community feedback, so let us know what feature you want to see next.

Gerry Carry brings a refreshing and entertaining look at the old-school art of caddying, reminding golfers just how valuable a second set of eyes and experience can be. But with TANGENT, you don’t have to wait for a world-class caddie to guide you. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or grinding to lower your handicap, TANGENT provides you with the tools and intelligence to play smarter, score better, and enjoy golf like never before.
