Become a Caddie

Please Note that we are no longer accepting applications for the 2024 season.

The Caddie & Leadership Academy provides young men and women the opportunity to learn and grow both on and off the golf course through caddying. The Academy will assist caddies in developing their leadership skills and instill in them the value of strong work ethic and perseverance. As a caddie, you will work directly with the members of our partnering country clubs to build authentic relationships and gain valuable life experiences. The Caddie & Leadership Academy will be held at the following courses in the summer of 2024:

  • Country Club of Rochester

  • Oak Hill Country Club

This program runs from Early May through mid-August at the courses listed above, and requires attendance/completion of ALL of the following:

  • Training/orientation sessions – Each 2 hours in length

  • Weekly leadership meetings – Each 1 hour in length

  • Volunteer service – 2 hours per month totaling 6 hours for the summer

  • Weekly work logs – detailing time worked and loops completed

  • A minimum of 3 loops every week

(A loop is one 18 hole round of golf, carrying a bag and servicing a golfer which takes about 4 hours)

Upon successful completion of weekly responsibilities, program participants will receive $400/month. Caddies may also receive a tip from their golfer after a completed loop.

For consideration into this program qualified applicants will be:

  • Entering their freshman or sophomore year of high school in the fall

  • Achieve academic excellence with a minimum 3.0 GPA

  • Able to attend and complete ALL portions of the 12 week program

  • Have transportation to/from the specified courses above

  • Demonstrate a financial need

After successfully completing one summer of our Academy, interested graduates will be placed at one of the partnering country clubs to continue their caddie career. The Academy will continue to mentor all graduates and help prepare those interested in and eligible to apply for the Western Golf Associations Evans Scholarship.
