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.
