Inside the Caddie Yard
Video looks inside a day as a Bandon Dunes caddie
Golf.com has published a video feature on what it is like to work as a caddie at Bandon Dunes, the Oregon resort known for its varied golf.
Golf.com has released a video that walks through the work of a Bandon Dunes caddie. Per the Golf.com report, the rhythms and demands of the job are as varied as the golf at the Oregon resort. The piece is framed as a look at the job from the caddie's side of the bag. Read the full report.
Bandon Dunes is one of the best-known destinations in American golf, and caddies are a central part of how many guests experience it. The Golf.com description points to variety as the defining feature of the work. That fits a property with several distinct courses, where a caddie's role can change with the layout, the conditions and the group on the bag.
At Bandon, the job changes with the golf.
The feature is a reminder that destination golf depends on more than architecture. Course design draws the visit. The caddie often shapes how the round feels, from reading lines to managing pace. A video format suits that subject, since the job is physical and tied to place.
Golf.com's description does not give details on schedules, pay or specific courses covered in the video. Readers who want those specifics should watch the full piece. For golfers planning a Bandon trip, it offers a useful look at what to expect from the person walking alongside them.
