AUSTIN, Texas (March 31, 2005) - Barton Creek Resort & Spa, Texas’ premiere resort introduces an elite caddie program to their list of golf amenities. The Resort has acquired the ‘Caddie Club’ as a part of their team to provide the best golfing experience in the Hill Country. Resort guests can reserve a caddie or forecaddie seven days a week with a 24 hour reservation through the Barton Creek pro shops. Forecaddies are also available for tournaments and group outings.
A forecaddie accompanies a group of four players throughout their round. A caddie accompanies individual golfer. The caddies and forecaddies available at Barton Creek are each carefully trained on every hole of each course to assist golfers with reading putts, calculating accurate yardage, spotting and locating balls and guidance around the course. Golfers will no longer need to be bothered with keeping clubs and balls clean, raking the bunkers, locating lost shots or tending the pin. The caddie or forecaddie will take care of everything as well as help maintain the pace of play around the course.
“The Caddie Club exemplifies Barton Creek’s commitment to service and is just one more impressive feature that keeps Barton Creek ahead of the game,” said G. Michael Thomas, president and COO, Barton Creek Resort & Spa. “Having a caddie will enhance your golf experience and allow you to completely focus on your game without worrying about club selection, repairing divots or shot distances.”
A caddie is a great addition to any golfer’s game from the recreational to the competitive player. For those playing for fun, a caddie offers the chance to enjoy the course and fellow players while saving strokes. For more experienced players, the caddie can post an official score and assist with club and shot selection, allowing the player to focus on their round.
