Caddie Academies

MGA Foundation Caddie Academies are designed to provide the participant (regardless of golf knowledge) a basic understanding of what caddieing is and how to be successful. Upon completion of this Academy, attendees will be awarded their certificate of completion. Although not a prerequisite for caddieing, the MGA Foundation's Caddie Academies are an excellent introductory opportunity to learn more about becoming a caddie.
