Caddies Are Back at the Muni 
The WGA Chick Evans Caddie Scholarship Foundation is again joining with the Muni to offer caddies for weekend play.  The program offers youngsters a chance to be involved in golf and qualify for a college scholarship to advance their college aspirations.  The Foundation pays the caddie fee so the only cost to the play is a tip.

  • Local golfers should pay a minimum gratuity of $20 to their caddie.
  • Caddies can carry, push a cart or fore-caddie.
  • All caddies receive credit toward a potential Evans Scholarship.
  • During the school season, caddies are available only on Saturdays and Sundays.
     

To schedule a caddie, please call or text Mike Hepner at (843)364-1884.
