Professional Caddies Association accepting Hall of Fame nominees

 

PALM COAST, Fla. -- The Professional Caddies Association is now accepting nominees for those deserving induction into the 2006 PCA Worldwide Caddie Hall of Fame.

Nominations may be made on-line at the PCA website: http://www.PCAworldwide.org. You can also mail a nomination to 23 Mala Compra Road, Palm Coast, Fla., 32137. The induction ceremony will be held in conjunction with the 2007 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando.

Candidates must have had 10 years of caddie service, shown support for the game of golf, worked to help improve the life of the caddie or have had an important impact on the caddying profession.

"We want more people around the world to know about it," said Dennis Cone, PCA Worldwide Caddie Foundation president. "We're really getting the public along with the golfing industry involved in what we are doing. It's a process over time. As people find out about it (the Caddie Hall of Fame and PCA) they say, 'This guy or lady should be in.' We want to have a caddie from every country in the world represented and sharing their start in golf someday".

Based on the information gathered, the 10 members of the nominating committee, made up of PGA TOUR golfers, professional caddies, golf writers and other dignitaries, will cast their votes.

Inducted in 2005 were Gene Sarazen, Old Tom Morris and Willie Park Sr.
