What do you love about caddying?
Sharing the up-and-down journey of this wonderful game together with the best players in the world. Traveling, competing, supporting athletes, and being physically active outdoors – so cannot imagine a better job.
Interesting caddie story:
A memorable caddie moment for me was the 2nd round of an Epson Tour event working for Hira Naveed. Without AAA road assistance (helping us to open our car) we would have never gotten to the golf course in time. With us arriving 15 minutes before the tee time, Hira managed to sneak in 3 wedges, 3 drives and 3 putts. She played solid golf and shot 67 (-5). I see this experience as a reminder that everything doesn’t have to be perfect and go exactly as planned for an athlete, or for anyone in life, to be able to be and perform one’s best.
