What is a benefit of having a caddie program at a club?

• A. Caddies manage beverage service.
• B. Caddies help maintain the course.
• C. Caddies reduce maintenance costs.
• D. Caddies handle scheduling.

Answer: (B)

Having caddies on site provides on-course support that directly affects the course’s condition and playability. Caddies often take care of small maintenance needs while out on the course—raking bunkers after shots, repairing ball marks on the greens, and replacing divots—while also flagging issues to the greens staff. This hands-on involvement helps keep the playing surfaces in better shape and supports a smoother pace of play, which enhances the overall golf experience for members and guests. The other tasks described—managing beverage service, reducing maintenance costs, or handling scheduling—are typically managed by other staff or departments (beverage carts, maintenance budgets, or the pro shop/tournament scheduling).
