The STPGA would like to welcome back all returning caddies to the STPGA Caddie program as well as welcome all new caddies to the 2024 Caddie Program. The Caddie Program is such an important part of the STPGA Junior Golf Program, and we hope that each caddie enjoys the opportunity to be a part of their son or daughter’s team.

All players that are a part of the Little Linksters Tour and Junior Links Tour can have a caddie. Caddies are expected to follow the Code of Conduct set forth in the STPGA Junior Golf Handbook at all times. Failure to follow the Code of Conduct could result in suspension of a parent or adults caddie privileges for a Little Linksters or Junior Links player in future events.

1. Caddies that were registered in years prior MUST re-register to be an official caddie for the new year prior to their first event. This includes payment of the membership fee AND passing the Caddie Quiz. Those caddies that do not re-register WILL NOT be allowed to caddy for any player until registration is complete.
   
   
2. Caddies are to assist their player during the course of the round, not coach . This is not a time for extensive coaching and training. Similar to caddies at the highest level, they assist the player with yardages and club selection and then let the player do the rest. Note: Extensive coaching may result in a loss of caddie privileges.
    
3. All players in Little Linksters and Junior Links can have a caddie but it is not required.
    
4. Similar to prior years, caddies will be sent a Caddie Badge after passing the quiz. All caddies MUST show their Caddie Badge during check in at registration at each tournament in order to caddy. Once you check in at registration with your Caddie Badge, you will receive a wristband for the day that allows you to caddy.
    
5. The maximum stroke limit for Little Linksters and Junior Links is ten (10), regardless of whether the player reaches the green or not.
    
6. The STPGA does not have a minimum age requirement for caddies. However, all caddies must abide by the Code of Conduct or privileges may be suspended.
    
7. All caddies MUST wear golf attire. 
    
8. All players and caddies must walk the golf course. Participants and their equipment cannot be transported in motorized carts, except when going to their first hole, when returning from their last hole, or on a designated shuttle hole. Players and caddies may use pull carts if host facility allows. 

1. Register to be a caddie. It will cost $30 per membership and will be valid through the end of 2024.  Click Here.
   
   
2. Complete the 2024 Caddie Quiz. A link to the quiz was sent to you in your registration completion email. Please note that you must score 20 out of 25 (80%) in order to pass. Once you have passed the quiz, you are now a fully registered Little Linksters or Junior Links caddie. Didn't receive a link? Click below or contact J.T. Milner at jmilner@pgahq.com.
