Caddie question. Any caddies or golfers who use them please read?
mmmmmmm asked:
I will be attending chiropractic school next fall, but I need a job for the summer. When I was in high school kids said they made ‘good’ money caddying at a country club. But i dont know what was ‘good’ money to a then 15 yr old. So I know the tips will vary but about how much can I expect to make per round per bag. How long does a typical round take? Is it possible to do 2 rounds in 1 day, providing I have the energy lol?

Also, is this a bad job for me. Will there be all 12-15 yr old kids there? You know what I mean. I dont mean it in the stuck up sense, but is this the kind of job geared towards younger kids? Im 20 by the way.
Would you recommend this job? How do I apply, I don’t have an ‘in’. Just go to the main building and fill out an application? As a caddy all I have to do is: hand them club and wipe it, carry bag, rake bunkers, track ball, handle pin, know yardage, know pin placement, basic stuff like this right?
Thanks

Hi, best advice i can give is to go to your local golf course pro shop and ask the resident proffesional. These guys can steer you in the right direction.
Happy caddying

Caddie’s don’t make a ton of money, as a general rule. Usually you have to find a generous club member who meshes well with you, and you’ll make more money off tips than anything else; especially if he’s a gambling man AND a winner. You should read the book “Who’s Your Caddie” too. The author highlights the 3 most important rules of a caddy… Show UP, Keep UP, and SHUT UP. Good luck!
