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

admin — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 09:32:47 +0000

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.

Golf??????

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!

How to Learn Golf

He’s that regular guy from Astoria, Queens, who left his heart in San Francisco. He’s the postwar heartthrob who inspired hundreds of young girls to wear black outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral on his wedding day. He’s the darling of the MTV generation who made music history when, at the age of 68, he won the coveted Grammy Award(R) for Album of the Year. He’s the consummate artist known worldwide for his paintings. He’s Tony Bennett, whose star shines brighter than ever as he enters his fifth decade of performing. Now, for the first time, this legend shares his amazing life story — in a voice that’s pure Tony Bennett: warm, resonant, and unforgettable. “Tony Bennett has not just bridged the generation gap, he has demolished it,” praised “The New York Times.” Since his appearance with the Red Hot Chili Peppers of the 1993 MTV Video Awards, and the addition of his seminal video, “Steppin’ Out,” to the MTV playlist, Bennett has become the hottest — and coolest — pop-culture icon for today’s younger listeners, while remaining beloved by their parents and grandparents. An astonishing four generations have experienced the Tony Bennett magic — the mesmerizing spell of a singer in love with singing, who embraces his audience with a soulful serenity communicated by both the man and his music. Honored with countless awards, including eight Grammys, and with more than ninety albums to his credit (more than thirty million sold for the Columbia label alone), no other recording artist has attained Bennett’s stature — or garnered the half-century of memories shared in “The Good Life.” From Sinatra, Judy Garland and Ella Fitzgerald, to k.d. lang and Elvis Costello, Bennett shares his unique takeson the most fascinating talents of our time. Here is the story of his lifelong love affair with art, music, and performing — from his childhood in Depression-era Queens, where opera and Billie Holiday flowed freely; to his stint as a singing waiter; to soaking up the New York jazz scene in the 1940s. With crisp wit and firmly grounded emotion, Bennett captures the people and places that shaped his sublime performances. The dozens of hits he introduced to the great American songbook, including “Because of You,” “Rags to Riches,” “Cold, Cold Heart,” and his signature song, “I Left My Heart in Son Francisco,” remain a legacy of truth and beauty for the classic art of intimate singing. In this wonderfully revealing self-portrait, we get to know Tony Bennett as he really is: an unpretentious and thoughtful human being. His key to success is consistency: His constant dedication in his pursuit of excellence has never wavered, despite the trials and tribulations one can encounter when placing integrity above all else. Through all of his personal and artistic challenges, he has remained, in his own words, “a humanist” whose Zen-like philosophy of life is an inspiration for all ages. Like the fascinating story he shares in “The Good Life,” Tony Bennett is one of a kind, an American treasure, an enduring artist seasoned with experience and self-knowledge, and a true class act.

How do i shoot low 90’s in Golf?

admin — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 06:02:35 +0000

i am a 27.1 handicapper and want to get down to about a 20 by the end of this year what is a key factor to practice to get your handicap lower?

simple, start now! do this! #1 hit a bucket of balls on the range twice a week. ( make sure you hit every ball with every iron at a target distance and as strait as you can!) do not mindlessley hit balls untill you lose your breath!.. #2 spend a half hour twice a week with your wedges learning to hit the ball from off the green close to the hole! work on your putting stroke too. and #3 get your mental game in shape.. forget about hitting the ball long!!! just hit the fairway i dont care if you have to hit your rescue wood or 5 iron off of a tee .. get the ball in the fairway , remember the fairway is just the road you must travel (one shot at a time) to get to your short game… as stated thats the key your short game .. learn to love it and find time to practice . get deadly at hitting the green from inside 150 and if you miss the green having the abuility to pitch or chip the ball close so you can 1put or at worst two putt you will get your handicap into the single digets quick… take time with every shot on the course and dont add your score till the end of the hole and your total to the end of the round . one shot at a time. even if you can only hit the ball 175 max on a standard cours you should be able to at least bogie or par any hole on the course with a good shortgame. start by hitting and focussing on one shot at a time not the end result . no pressure trust your swing. when you hit a bad shot relax and forget about the bad shot it was a fluke now hit the ball down the fairway and get to the part of the game that your good at .. your killer shortgame.
