The Western Golf Association (WGA) and amateur golfer Charles "Chick" Evans Jr. established the Evans Scholarship in 1930. The scholarship has helped thousands of caddies attend college since then. Beaver Golf student, Jayda Dookie graduated from Suncoast Community High School in 2023 and she was awarded the scholarship after completing her "loops" at Seminole Golf Club.
The word “loop” can be a verb or noun. As a noun, it's a caddie's round of golf service. Makes sense; the round begins and ends at the clubhouse, so the route golfers and caddies traverse is basically a loop. As a verb, “loop” means to lug a player's bag around a golf course. Consequently, “looper” is slang for caddie.
Read the stories that follow to learn more about the experience. The best time to get started is during the golfer's freshman year of high school but it is not impossible to complete the loops if you start in your sophomore year.
The Evans Scholarship is valued at more than $125,000 over four years.
Jayda took full advantage of the opportunities available to her in golf!
