3) Before the Round of GolF BEGINS...

• Show up at least 30 minutes early. DO NOT BE LATE
• Always be upbeat and have a fun attitude from the moment you meet your golfer/ client.
• From the moment you meet and greet your golfer/ client, you will be responsible for his/ her golf clubs.
  
• If riding, load the clubs onto the golf cart,
  If using a pull cart, put them on the pull cart
• A yardage book is an extremely useful tool on behalf of the golfer.  If you can, grab one.  We have them avaialble at the Caddychicks™ ProShop
• If your gofler is going to the driving range, make sure to clean his/her grips and clubs when they're hitting golf balls. Clean grips are often overlooked by golfers. Some golf courses will have a golf cleaning bucket on the driving range. Clean the grooves of his golf clubs with your club brush
• Do you have spare gloves in case of rainy weather
• Ask him if he/she has an ample supply of golf balls
• Count his golf clubs in his bag. A golfer is only allowed to have 14 clubs, if he/she has more than fourteen, make sure you tell them.
• Fill out your yardage guide by asking him how far he hits each club. This will help you know about what
  club your golfer will be wanting on their next shot
• Turn off your cell phone, pager, etc.
• Introduce yourself to his playing partners

  If you leave the clubs out in front of the clubhouse, they may get stolen.
  You are responsible for the players' bag from the moment you first touch it,
  to the moment it is put away. Always be aware of this.
