to caddie for a TOUR player during an official practice round of a PGA TOUR
sanctioned tournament. As Holden adds, “Winning bidders have a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be “inside the ropes” with the world’s
best TOUR players in a relatively relaxed professional PGA TOUR setting.
They get to see their player’s thought processes, practice routines and
incredible shot-making skills “up close and personal” without the distraction
of other players or stress over their own golf skills.”
