The Caddie-Member
Monday, August 15, 2016

The Mayacama Caddie-Member has quickly become one of the most popular golf tournaments at Mayacama. More than just a golf tournament, the Mayacama Caddie-Member is a celebration of the oldest and most revered relationships in golf...that of the Player and the Caddie! Our Caddie Program at Mayacama is the cornerstone of the foundation on which our Club was founded. We hope that you can join us for this, our 10th celebration of this special bond that exists between our Members and Caddies.

CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT

The lower score of the partners is the score for the hole. If one partner fails to complete play of a hole, there is no penalty.
