About This Machine

The Caddie, produced by Playmatic in 1975, is a golf-themed electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine from the Spanish manufacturer. While not as well-documented as some of its contemporaries, its golf theme and classic EM gameplay have earned it a following among pinball enthusiasts. (Notably, it's unconfirmed whether the surviving flyer and game images represent this 1975 model or an earlier, identically-named 1970 model.)

In terms of gameplay, the Caddie's electro-mechanical design offers the kind of experience typical of the mid-1970s, well before Playmatic's later solid-state releases. Players navigate the ball through the golf-themed playfield, relying on the mechanical scoring and target layout common to EM games of the period.

Aesthetically, the Caddie reflects the playfulness of 1970s pinball design, with artwork immersing players in the world of golf. Unfortunately, there is limited confirmed information available on the Caddie's specific design, art, or designer, but it remains a lesser-known piece of vintage Spanish pinball history.
