A Word from the Caddy

Hello Everybody,

          As you can probably tell from the title, this post is being written by Cheyenne's caddy and husband, Bruce. Cheyenne has asked me to share with you all what we have been up to and how the 2014 season has started.  It has been two weeks since Cheyenne's first official professional season has began and everything is going as you would expect when starting a new career. There are always going to be ups and downs, and bumps in the road to overcome. In the first two tournaments of the season Cheyenne finished just out of the money line, but that's not important. We have learned how incredibly powerful the subconscious mind can be and how important confidence is to be able to perform at the highest level. Despite the imperfect results, I was very proud of the way Cheyenne conducted herself the last few weeks... she is slowly learning to not to be so hard on herself! Also, I am learning more and more every round how to be a better caddy and help her on this journey. Speaking of which, a few words on my caddy journey....

        When Cheyenne and I decided to pursue the desire to become a professional golfer, I knew pretty close to nothing about the mechanics of a golf swing.  It was a mutual decision that I would become her caddy to save on money and be able to share every step of this journey together. After that was decided I knew I had a LOT of learning to do. My first step was to research what being a caddy meant, and how to become the best caddy I could be. I found a book written by former and current PGA and LPGA caddies that taught me a whole lot about what goes into being a caddy. One of the biggest lessons I learned from that book is that caddies not only carry the bag and help determine club selection, they need to be encouraging, positive, knowledgeable, and many other things. These few attributes would be much easier to achieve if the professional golfer you are caddying for wasn't your wife. For those of you who are married, you know that when one of you isn't happy, the other isn't too far behind. The most difficult part about caddying for your wife is being able to separate personal from professional. This is something that we are both learning and will continue to learn for the next few years. With the ups and downs that have come with this journey, it has been one of the most incredible, yet difficult things we have ever done. Cheyenne has a very bright future ahead in golf and we are just tapping into her potential. We are working harder than ever and are very excited for what's to come. We take on Wigwam Golf Resort this week in Litchfield Park, AZ! Wish us luck!!
