Thank you for your interest in serving as a volunteer for the Greater Cedar Rapids Open. Caddies are afforded the opportunity to meet and interact with our professional golfers. In addition to spending time outside and learning tips to improve their own game, caddies will receive $25 per round, thanks to Caddie Donors TrueNorth Companies and Kansas City Life Insurance Company. Caddies must be 14 to 21 years of age, and must be able to carry a 25-pound professional golf bag for 18 holes.

Caddie training will be held at 6 p.m., Tuesday, July 12, and 3 p.m., Sunday, July 17, on the driving range at Hunters Ridge Golf Course. Attendance at one of the training sessions is required for this program, and is provided by the Greater Cedar Rapids Open Committee. Caddie vests are distributed the day of the tournament and must be returned to the Caddie Shack at the conclusion of each round.

Remember, better caddies generally earn better tips. Prior to the tournament, be sure to brush up on the material provided during your training session, and review this list of helpful hints.
