Turtle Bay Golf will begin offering caddies for both the Arnold Palmer and George Fazio Courses Saturday.

"We created our caddie program for several reasons," said Matthew Hall, Turtle Bay's Director of Golf. "For our customers, it is the ultimate way to play golf. Walking with a caddie who knows the course is something every golfer should treat themselves to. For our community on the North Shore, this program gets young people interested in the game of golf and it allows them to learn and develop the many skills that are involved with caddying.

"Also, anyone who caddies for a period of two years will be eligible for an Evans Scholar Caddy Scholarship, a national non-profit organization designed to offer scholarship to caddies all over the country. This is a great program and it is a good income opportunity."

Caddies will assist with yardage, green reading, club cleaning, local course knowledge, and points of interest about the North Shore and Turtle Bay. They will be available by appointment every day. Turtle Bay will have several caddies standing by on weekends for golfers who would like to hire for that day.
