When I was younger, about 11 or 12, I went out to become a golf caddy.  I had to learn how to handle all the golf aids like the ball, the little covers they put on top of the golf clubs, and anything else the golfer carried with him.  I did not last long at this job.  For one thing, while I was in school, to do this job, I’d have to get up early on the weekends, both Saturdays and Sundays, to go to work.  Yes, it’s not a myth.  Golfers really do get up that early.  And, of course, the real money in being a caddy, like with a waiter or a bartender or any other hospitality industry job, is in the tips.  So whether or not you liked the golfer, whether or not he was golfing a good game, you had to keep on complimenting him and telling him he was doing great and that it was just the wind throwing off his swing.  And remember that a golf course is the last place you want to be when a thunderstorm comes.  They say the safest place is in a car, but a golf course has water and trees set up all throughout it.  These are natural lightning rods!  Though it is amusing to watch golfers head for the hills at the sound of thunder.
