^^^^ Agreed. I know so many caddies who became executives. During their experience they learn how to interact with adults far before their peers. They also need to dress appropriately (shirts with a collar that are tucked in, they are wearing a belt, etc). Their connections become invaluable when it comes to getting into a college and sometimes getting a job.

My dad often gets a caddy simply because he likes to walk the course and its getting too hard to carry the bag 18. He has written many recommendations for caddies who are trying to get into engineering school, particularly competitive ones (he is an MIT alum).

Also, some of the "regulars" will pay for the caddies to travel with them to golf tournies. Even though it's not Pebble Beach, the travel can be a great experience for a kid who is not even out of high school.
