  • The Caddie Program


    • Thank you for your interest in the Prestwick Country Club Caddie Program.  Prestwick Country Club prides itself on our strong youth caddie program for ages 13-22. 

      Here at Prestwick, our esteemed caddie program has been an integral part of our legacy for decades.  Under the guidance of our Caddie Master, Rhett Bartolini, we take great pride in nurturing and training our caddies to be not only skilled golfing assistants but also well-rounded individuals. 

      At Prestwick, our caddies are actively involved in both regular play and advanced, competitive tournaments. Whether they are walking alongside members during leisurely rounds or providing invaluable forecaddie services during important matches, our caddies play a crucial role in enhancing the overall golfing experience. One of the highlights of our caddie program is our partnership with the renowned Evans Scholarship Foundation. We believe in investing in the future of our caddies, and through this collaboration, deserving candidates have the opportunity to earn a full-ride scholarship to select schools. The Evans Scholarship not only provides access to quality education but also offers a wide range of benefits, including valuable connections within the golfing community and beyond.

      To streamline and optimize scheduling for our caddies, we have implemented an innovative online platform called ClubUp. This user-friendly tool allows caddies to access their schedules conveniently and plan their commitments efficiently. However, at Prestwick, we also maintain the cherished tradition of a daily roll call. This practice, primarily intended for newer, younger caddies, fosters a sense of camaraderie and ensures that everyone feels welcome and included in our close-knit community.

      We take great pride in the success stories of our caddies who have excelled not only on the golf course but also in their personal and academic pursuits. The Prestwick Country Club caddie program is a testament to our commitment to developing exceptional individuals who contribute positively to society and carry the values instilled here throughout their lives.

      Born and raised in Frankfort, Illinois, Rhett started caddying at Prestwick in 2014, and after meeting all of the members of the club, he developed a passion for being a caddy. Most of his summers were spent at Prestwick, as he became a High Honor caddie in 2017. The following year, Rhett also started working in the bag room. Rhett attended the University of Notre Dame, majoring in economics and Spanish and minoring in real estate. There, he worked at the Warren Golf Course, where he enjoyed seeing a different perspective on the golf world and meeting new people. When Rhett was not away attending university, he returned every summer and caddied at Prestwick, while also working multiple internships. Following his graduation from Notre Dame, Rhett currently works as operations manager at a manufacturing plant in Chicago Heights and was honored to take on the mantle of Caddie Master in April of 2023. His passion for the club and its caddies drives him to continue to grow and develop the caddie program. Rhett also plays an essential role in helping to develop future candidates for the Evans Scholarship.
