Caddie Program

 

In the U.S. Senior Women's Amateur Championship, participants have the option to utilize a club caddie, bring their own caddie, use a pushcart, carry their own clubs, or ride in a golf cart (or some combination of each). The number of caddies required by a host club will vary with each site, depending on the terrain of the golf course, the weather, the availability of caddies, and the proposed caddie fee. We anticipate the need for approximately 30 to 40 club caddies.

 

An individual who is chosen to be a club caddie for the event must commit for the dates of September 11th through September 14th (the practice rounds and the stroke play sessions of the event).  If your player continues into the match play portion, it is up to the player if they want to continue using your services.

 

If you are chosen as a club caddie, you will be required to participate in a caddie training session prior to the event in September.  The date of this training is to be determined. 

 

All caddies are expected to have a thorough understanding of the course, the rules of golf, and golf etiquette, in order to assist their player when requested. Additionally, you must be able to handle and manage the player's golf bag. Trolleys are allowed if you choose not to carry the bag.

 

The compensation is $80 per day, with a guaranteed minimum of 4 days. You are permitted to wear your own clothes (Cascades Golf attire), and you will also receive a USGA caddie bib with your player's name each day.

 

Players qualify throughout the summer and register for the Championship up until early September. Players specify their caddie requirements at that time, and some last-minute requests do occur. Caddies will be assigned via a blind draw. If you are not selected as a club caddie, we encourage you to register as a volunteer to assist in other areas of need for the Championship.

 

We request that individuals interested in applying to be club caddies complete this form to express their interest.
