Make sure that caddies are available to all golfers, giving equal opportunity to all caddies.
We use a program called Club Up for assigning caddies so that our caddies can better maintain their own schedules. It is the Caddie/Bag Room Manager’s responsibility to learn this software and utilize it to properly load and assign caddies.
Work with the golf professional to determine the number of caddies needed for special high-demand events (i.e. club tournaments and Monday outings).
Evaluate caddie performance aided by members’ comments and caddie evaluations through Club Up.
Promote caddies to higher pay grades when appropriate. This will need to be done through Club Up as all payments will also be through the program linked through Venmo.
Utilize Club Up to maintain a caddie evaluation and ranking system. Each round a caddie is rated through the app just like an Uber driver. Make sure all caddies strive to achieve at least a 4/5 star rating. If there are any caddies that struggle, help them with more training.
Maintain Caddie/Bag Room Manager’s office and see that the bag room and cart staging and storage areas are kept clean and presentable.
Maintain an operating Bag Room schedule and make sure that daily operation as well as special events are fully staffed properly.
