NWO Golf Links February 2017

After graduation from OSU, I returned to
Inverness as the Caddie Master and my
education continued. Working with over 300
caddies, carrying the bag for a different person
every day, and interacting with other Inverness
staff, provided the opportunity to improve my
people skills and meet individuals that would
help me progress.
One of the biggest assets a caddie learns is
the ability to communicate with successful
business leaders of the community.
It is an experience not available from most
teenage jobs.
Working for The First Tee of Lake Erie keeps
me heavily involved with the game and has
given me the opportunity to travel and meet
interesting people from different parts of the
country.
Lessons learned from carrying a golf bag, make
me passionate about my current work with
The First Tee of Lake Erie. Every child deserves
these same opportunities to grow and become
successful. The respect, honesty, work ethic and
social skills learned as a caddie are some of the
best gifts anyone can provide a young person.
I will always consider my time at Inverness Club
as the greatest learning experience of my life. I
encourage every parent and young person to
explore becoming a caddie and learning the
lessons of a life time.
