What is a caddie? A caddie is someone who assists golfers during their rounds. Their responsibilities include carrying the golfer's bag, pacing yardages, replacing divots, raking bunkers and attending the flagstick.

It's a great summer job for young people. You spend the summer outdoors earning good money, and you get the opportunity to meet influential people and develop strong communication skills. You also can potentially qualify for a free college scholarship. Why is caddying important? Caddying is part of golf's heritage—the way golf was meant to be played—and part of its future. It is also a great way to learn the game and can be a valuable investment for your future. We’re fortunate that many area golf clubs have great caddie programs for you to consider. If caddying is a good fit for you, it can also be a terrific opportunity to for you to earn an Evans Scholarship—a full tuition and housing scholarship for golf caddies. To qualify, you must have a good caddie record, good grades, demonstrated financial need and outstanding character. Learn more at www.wgaesf.org.
