How do i become a golf caddy and how much would i make?

I am 13 years old and i want to make a little extra cash. I can ride my bike down to the local golf course. How much would I make and is there a procedure or something that I need to do, or can I just go there, ask if anyone needs a caddy?





Thanks|||Good advice. In terms of cash, most caddies carry 2 bags for 18 holes (so you need to be in decent shape) and the club might pay them $10 to $20 per bag and if you know what you are doing (reference the earlier posts) then you might get a tip of $20 to $30 per bag.


But you will be competing with other caddies who have more experience and know the good tippers. You will surely have to pay your dues and lug around some bags for folks that might think $2 is a great tip.


Good Luck. |||Why don't you go to the local golf course and find out if the course uses caddies, if any one on the staff teaches the basic elements of caddying and the rules of golf. A caddy is not only a bag toter, He is an advisor to the player. He must know the protocol of caddying, the various clubs , how to judge distances, where the trouble spots are on the course, how to tend the flag, how to rake the bunker, where to stand as a fore caddy. The better you are as a caddy the more you will make.|||I agree with googie. Go to your local golf club and speak with the person in charge of the caddies.





Most clubs nowadays have caddie foundations where you get tought how to be a proper caddie. This is important because golfers tend to take the game very seriously. If they have a good caddie they will tip generously but if the caddie was poor he will get a scolding.





You can make nice pocket money being a caddie and will probably get into the game yourself.
