Golf » CADDIE PROGRAM »

 

Being a caddie at OFCC is, without doubt, one of the best jobs that a young person can have.  It teaches responsibility, self-worth, multi-tasking, ability to work with others—and it yields tremendous monetary benefits.

One of the most important things that parents and applicants must understand is that caddying is, first and foremost, a JOB.  Your child must be able to act responsibly and independently—without the constant supervision of an adult.  The Caddie Superintendent and his staff are not a babysitting service; any ideas about dropping your child off in the morning and picking them up in the evenings at a standard time are far from what being a caddie is all about.  Some days, a caddie may be back from his round at 1:00pm.  Other days, he may not return from the course until 7:00pm.  This is not a 9 – 5 job by any means, and there is a lot of waiting involved.  There is also a tremendous amount of PHYSICAL activity involved in being a caddie.  A typical round of golf lasts a little more than four hours and usually involves 4-5 miles of golf course being covered.  Golf bags can be heavy, and there is a lot of running involved.

Because of the large turnout that we get each year, we will not be able to take on everyone who registers.  However, if your son/daughter is not selected to be a caddie this season, we welcome him/her to reapply in 2011.
