| Manong caddie with the clubs |
One interesting job that I learned while at Camp John Hay in Baguio the other day is being a caddie. Caddies are the ones walking around the golf course in charge of carrying golfers bags.
All these years, I thought they were just simple assistants and their work is similar to that of payong girls -- assist as asked. However, it turned out that caddies also play the role of a coach to the player, (there may be a right term or that in golf) as they are aware of the challenges and obstacles of the course as well as the strategies in playing the game.
Just like in the corporate world, they also go through ranking system where in they get promoted from being a trainee to a champion. That, of course, depends on their training and performance.
I always thought that golf is an interesting sport. Now that I knew a bit about caddying, I personally think that this job is equally interesting as the sport itself.R
