Caddy for college students is a change of employment concept

Although golf is still a luxury aristocratic sport in China, from the outside world, caddy's social status has not been touched by noble light. When the surprise caused by "college students being caddies" has not disappeared, 1872 reporters interviewed caddies active in Qingzhuhu International Club.

"There have been precedents for college students to be caddies here, and trainee caddies have come in droves." The relevant person in charge of the stadium told the reporter.

So, with the continuous emergence of high-quality caddies, is caddying no longer just a career to make a living? Are they willing to be "bossed around"? Have they really got rid of their humble fate? Ke-ming huang and Feng Suzhen gave the reporter the loudest answer.

Character 1: "It's beyond reproach for college students to be caddies"

Huang Mingke male, 19-year-old sophomore in hunan international economics university, is an intern caddy

"If you have a choice, I believe every university would not want to be a caddy, but since you majored in golf, it's not a bad thing to start with caddies if you want to make a difference in this industry."

In the first semester of the second year of college, Huang Mingke has already begun to think about what will happen two years later-why not lose his job as soon as he graduates? Together with more than 2 students from foreign-related golf departments, he came to Qingzhuhu International Golf Club to work as an intern caddy.

When I first saw him, the reporter smiled: What a childish little boy, dressed as a student, with a shy smile on his red face. Seeing me, I ate my lunch in a hurry and was interviewed at the driving range.

"When I came out of school, the biggest feeling was that there was still a big gap between theory and practice," Huang Mingke said. "Obviously, I already knew a lot about some knowledge in class, but when I really wanted to start work, I found that I was still a little short." Referring to the first time he played ball with a guest, he remembered it deeply. Because of his nervous mood, some services were not in place. "But the guests are very graceful. They not only don't blame me, but also joke with me to relieve my nervousness." Although they are just caddies, Huang Mingke is more attentive than attending classes at school. "From then on, I also learned this trick. Every time I accompany the guests off the court, I tell jokes when they are in a bad mood, so that they can adjust their mentality and watch the guests swing every shot with my help. The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is beyond words!"

Because he is only an intern caddy, Huang Mingke doesn't have many opportunities to follow the guests off the court. Most of the time, he is on duty at the driving range to practice the ball. "The club takes care of us students very much. The three-shift schedule only allows us to work in the middle class and cancels the hardest' morning shift and night shift'. "As a" fledgling "student, Huang Mingke is very modest." I have learned a lot here, not only to learn to play with professional coaches and master the hitting skills, but also to learn many points of interpersonal communication in the golf industry, as well as the characteristics of the top management of the club, etc ... "In just a few months, Huang Mingke's hitting level has improved significantly, and sometimes he helps novices correct their movements in the driving range, and he has also changed his original shy appearance and communication skills.

"There are many arguments about college students being caddies on the Internet. What do you think?" The reporter's question embarrassed Huang Keming, and he was silent for a long time. He calmly said, "If there is a choice, I believe that every college graduate is unwilling to be a caddy, but since he majored in golf, if he wants to make a difference in this industry and the competitive pressure is so great, it is not a bad thing to start with a caddy, which also reflects the change of contemporary college students' ideas before the real employment pressure."

"My greatest wish is to become a professional coach." Huang Mingke immediately shook out his career development goals. "Caddy is certainly a good career, but I want to use the work experience of caddy as a springboard to lay a good foundation for myself to become a coach in the future!"

Character 2: "If you put your heart into it, you will feel a sense of accomplishment"

Feng Suzhen, a 25-year-old woman, came to Zhangjiajie directly to work as a B-class caddy for three years.

"Lao Feng, take this reporter off the court and introduce your work process." Following the sound source, the reporter didn't see the "old" of "Lao Feng" at all. He was not tall and his young face was slightly shy. "I have been here for more than three years, so everyone laughs and calls me' Lao Feng'!" Facing the reporter's puzzled eyes, Lao Feng explained with a smile.

When getting on the cart, Feng Suzhen introduced to the reporter while driving the cart skillfully, "This is the tee. We should help the guests set the ball T in advance, inform the terrain and report the yards; This is the green, so we should help the guests to draw lines and choose strokes. At the same time, we are also temporary referees, to tell the guests where the penalty is, and to supervise whether the guests touch the sand when they swing when the ball falls into the bunker ... "Occasionally, we stop," This is the highest point of the stadium, and we can take the most beautiful scenery; This is the most distinctive No.1 hole, known as the devil's hole, which can't stop the ball; This is a par-four hole on the 7th hole, and there was a history of hole-in-one ... "What an" old Feng ",he is as familiar with the golf course as he is at home.

"Don't look at the ease of working now, but you have suffered a lot during the induction training." It turns out that becoming a caddy in Qingzhu Lake takes three months of hard training, including running 18 holes every morning and evening, standing in a military posture, learning theoretical knowledge and so on. After the study, you have to pass a rigorous examination before you can officially play. "It is inevitable to be wronged," said Lao Feng. "I remember that once a guest ordered me to do four things at the same time, but I forgot one thing because I was in a hurry. I was too tired to run and was complained of my poor working ability!" "But most of the guests are reasonable and won't let me risk my life to pick up the ball. I will say something of thanks at the end of each service."

After working on the court for three years day after day, Lao Feng said that she was not bored, but she liked the job more and more. "It's extreme to say that caddy's status is low. In fact, many times, we play the role of military adviser." She said with a smile, breathing fresh air in an environment with blue sky and white clouds and green scenery and beautiful scenery, and sometimes watching beautiful players for free, accompanying guests to catch birds or even eagles, anything unhappy can disappear instantly.

"Although it's a coincidence to be a caddy, I will never change careers now!" Referring to the fact that many people now criticize female caddies for using their bodies to open up interpersonal networks and achieve "curve" employment, Lao Feng seems very calm: "I just love this profession deeply, sprinkle my sweat on the court every day and serve every guest thoughtfully. This is my happiness. I believe that no matter whether he is a college student or not, as long as he really works hard, he will certainly do well, and he will fall in love with this profession and have a sense of accomplishment. "

On the way to the stadium, Lao Feng nodded and smiled at the surrounding guests and colleagues from time to time, and everyone responded to her with the same courtesy and enthusiasm. "My greatest wish is to become an A-level caddy as soon as possible!" From this simple and generous girl's face, the reporter saw real happiness and satisfaction.

■ Interview Notes

At the end of the interview, the caddies were still busy with their respective jobs-picking up the bags, seeing the guests off and going off. On such a rare fine day in winter, everyone has a happy smile on his face. The reporter believes that every caddy must be happy. Because in their hearts, there is a dream, small or big, realistic or beautiful. The reporter also sincerely hopes that these "strategists" who are active in the golf course can bring glory to the golf industry in China!
