Become a Caddie
Picking up the bag can take you places
There are certain things you learn as a caddie. Some of them are about the game of golf. Many more of them are life lessons.
AMBITION, COURAGE, CONFIDENCE & COMMITMENT
The caddie experience instills passion and ambition in our young men and women as they must venture outside their comfort zone to be successful caddies.
HUMILITY & SELF-AWARENESS
Being self-aware is about knowing your strengths and weaknesses. The caddie experience naturally develops self-awareness and self-starter skills for our young men and women.
ADAPTABILITY
Adaptability focuses on the head and the heart. Learning how to deal with new and different challenges and adapt communication styles to be effective with a wide range of people is critical to acquiring this skill.
CHEMISTRY & COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Great caddies must learn how to build rapport, engage in a mutually respectful manner and maintain an appropriate level of goodwill and humor at all times.
