“The Best First Job a Kid Can Have”: The Developmental Value of Youth Caddying With Tim Wimsatt

In this episode of Coach Talk, Tim Baghurst sits down with Tim Wimsatt of the Colorado Golf Association to explore why caddying may be “the best first job a kid can have.” Wimsatt discusses how young caddies are trained from the ground up, the importance of repetition and mentorship, and the unique relationships that develop between caddies and golfers. The conversation also explores the Evans Scholarship, individualized motivation, and why putting “relationships first” is just as important in developing caddies as it is in coaching athletes.
