OUTINGS
There’s a new program here at the Club this
summer - a Caddie Program under the
Colorado Golf Association.
We have from four to six young
Caddies to kick off the 2014
season.
Each Caddie must:
• Caddie a minimum of
twelve loops or rounds each
month.
• Volunteer two hours of their
time a month to a local
organization.
• Attend a one hour
leadership class here at the
Club.
• Have a 3.0 GPA.
Joe Basta is our Caddie
Chairman and John Hanrahan
will be the Caddie Master.
The first twelve loops of the
month are paid from the funds
that Joe & other members raised.
We only ask that you consider
tipping the Caddies after their
round. After their twelve
rounds, they are still available
and we urge you to utilize their
time for a mere $20 each round,
excluding tip. The Caddies will
need to be paid
in cash and we
urge you to
please keep that
in mind.
Our goal is to
have at least 48 Caddie rounds
a month. The program will
operate from Memorial weekend
through the middle of August.
The Caddies will still be available
after that time frame on a pay as
you go basis.
How can you reserve a Caddie?
Text John at (970) 222-7372.
Please allow 24 hours notice
when wanting to reserve a
Caddie.
Your Caddie will: Be nice and
polite; carry your clubs; find your
golf ball; understand basic golf
etiquette; work hard.
The Caddie is going to be
learning on every round and you
are a critical element in their
education.
We have an opportunity as a
Club and as members to make a
difference in today’s world and
the ability to do it in our own
back yard. We are the only golf
course north of Denver to offer a
Caddie Program!
We thank you in advance for
your support of your Caddie
Program. Tell us about your
experience and if you have a
great experience, tell your friends!
We would like to thank those
who donated funds and their
time to make this program
happen this year. An extra
thanks to Joe who worked with
members of our Club to raise the
funds so the program could get
off the ground.

DeHaan Golf Tip: Too tight,
too loose or just right? The
amount of grip pressure
sometimes depends on the
student. However, most of the
time, golfers squeeze the club
too tight. This prevents proper
release and power. As you stand
at address and grip the club, a
person should be able to grab
the head of the club and move
it easily. As this is done you
will notice that your hands and
wrists will move, but not so
much will your arms move. If
you are gripping too tight your
arms and even your body posture
will move. As stated above,
grip pressure should be light.
However, depending on your ball
flight the amount of pressure is
different. Example, if you hook
the ball, a firmer hold will limit
your release and help control a
hook. Opposite of that, if you
slice the ball, a less pressured grip
would work better for you.
