Golf Lessons

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.

My friend keeps making fun of me playing golf because he say's its an old man sport. How do i get him to learn how hard it is to play it he thinks its very easy to play. He even told me he thinks its stupid they get paid by just hitting a ball. He also wont play golf so he has no idea.

We actually have a GOLF TERM for guys like your "friend"…."PUTZ"!
He's just plain ignorant! Meaning, he doesn't know ANYTHING about golf….just the old out-dated stereotypes.

"Paid for hitting a ball?"….how is that different from soccer or baseball?
and….he probably couldn't even do THAT!

Not really worth the trouble to try to convince him, as he seems to be an idiot, anyway. So, I suggest you don't bother discussing golf when he's around.
If he really starts to annoy you, get in his face and tell him that golfers, at least, EARN their money…unlike NFL or NBA players that get paid just for being on the team!
