The Ocean Course is the 4th golf course I have caddied at full time. At this point, looping is second nature to me. The timing required to stay ahead of the golfers to keep the pace of play moving couldn't be easier at this point. The introduction to the players on the driving range before the round had been done hundreds of times. Reading greens, judging the wind, and communicating my thoughts to the players are something I have been doing for over a decade now.

The introduction to the players on the driving range before the round had been done hundreds of times. Reading greens, judging the wind, and communicating my thoughts to the players are something I have been doing for over a decade now. I have continued to hone my soft skills, time management skills, communication skills, and client relationship building skills while working at the Ocean Course. But I have also learned a few new tricks:Team Management: Managing and coordinating other caddies and guests as a closer for the golf course.Sales: Promoting my skills as a caddie, and the amenities the resort offers other than golf.Attention to detail/Customer experience: After looping for over a decade, caddying is easy. At this point, I can focus on the smallest details to make sure my guests have the best possible experience that they can at the Ocean Course.Problem solving: Quickly addressing and resolving issues that arise on the course, and there are many of them!Multitasking: Handling various responsibilities simultaneously in the dynamic environment of the Ocean Course.

Caddying at Biltmore was one of my favorite positions to date. The rounds were quick, the golfers were skilled, and the course was pristine.At a private club like Biltmore Forest, many members knew the course as well as I did. To stand out as a caddie, I had to offer more than just advice on navigating the course.I had to build rapport with every golfer I caddied for, as Biltmore Forest has a demanding membership.

Working at the Country Club of Asheville (CCA) was one of the great pleasures of my career in the golf industry for several reasons. The main reason is that the club was generous enough to let me play golf six days a week, which was crucial as I was still pursuing professional golf and needed a place to play and practice.In addition to playing a lot of golf on a wonderful course, I learned a great deal while working at CCA.

The main reason is that the club was generous enough to let me play golf six days a week, which was crucial as I was still pursuing professional golf and needed a place to play and practice.In addition to playing a lot of golf on a wonderful course, I learned a great deal while working at CCA. The first thing that comes to mind is adaptability. With hundreds of golf members, I had to stay on my toes to keep track of who was using a push cart, who was riding, who needed a pin sheet, and where each member's clubs went. The numerous variables made the job dynamic and challenging.I also continued to hone my interpersonal relationship skills at CCA. The membership was a diverse group, each with specific needs, from the simplest requests to the most nuanced preferences.CCA, being a private club, hosts numerous events throughout the year for its members, such as the annual member-guest tournament, club championship, and weekly events like "Ladies Golf Day" and the "Member Blitz." Event coordination was a significant part of my responsibilities.Through all these experiences, I further developed my skills in client relations, customer service, and soft skills. Show less

Caddying at Eagle Point was my first full-time position. I worked there for just under a year while waiting for in-state tuition in North Carolina, a process that took four years and 17 appeals. At Eagle Point, I continued honing my soft skills. Unlike Pinehurst, which is a public resort, Eagle Point is a private country club. At Pinehurst, I would caddie for golfers who would leave the next day.

I worked there for just under a year while waiting for in-state tuition in North Carolina, a process that took four years and 17 appeals. At Eagle Point, I continued honing my soft skills. Unlike Pinehurst, which is a public resort, Eagle Point is a private country club. At Pinehurst, I would caddie for golfers who would leave the next day. At Eagle Point, I interacted with the same members daily, which helped me learn about client relations. Knowing I would see the same members regularly, I paid attention to individual preferences and maintained client relationships. This skillset enabled me to caddie in Phil Mickelson's group during the 2017 Wells Fargo Pro-am.During my time at Eagle Point, I developed a great relationship with a member named Michael Anderson, who was in the car business and taught me a lot about sales. I looped for him every time he played, and we always had a great time together. When the Wells Fargo Championship came around, he let me caddie for him while we both watched in awe as we played in the same group as Phil Mickelson.Caddying at Eagle Point also taught me how to adapt to various situations. Some groups wanted to play as fast as possible, making the caddie's information secondary to the pace of play. Other times, groups playing big money matches relied heavily on my advice. Occasionally, golfers would blame me for poor play, and I had to learn how to bite my tongue and handle these situations professionally. Show less

Pinehurst, North Carolina

Looping at Pinehurst was my first real job, aside from picking range balls at the local driving range while growing up. This job taught me a few things. Firstly, it was where I began to develop my soft skills and learn about customer service. Meeting new people from all over the country every day was a quick way for an 18-year-old to learn how to interact with people from all walks of life. This is also where I learned how important customer service is.

Meeting new people from all over the country every day was a quick way for an 18-year-old to learn how to interact with people from all walks of life. This is also where I learned how important customer service is. If I worked my butt off reading greens, getting correct yardages, and being personable with the guests, the tip would typically reflect that. Secondly, caddying at Pinehurst taught me about time management. On a typical workday, I would come directly from classes at Sandhills Community College, so I had to know exactly when I would be out of class and communicate that to my boss. In addition to this, my obsession with golf contributed to my time management skills. I knew exactly how long a loop on Pinehurst no. 2, no. 4, and no. 8 would take, and what the closest golf course that I had access to was. Looping on course 4 at 11 am? I'll be on the first tee of course 1 at 440. See you there. Last but not least, this was my introduction to learning how to communicate effectively. Every golfer is different. Some want very specific information, some want as little information as possible to avoid overthinking a shot. In caddying, communication is key. Show less
