Caddies are being sought for the upcoming Safeway International LPGA golf tournament, scheduled for March 15-21, 2004 at Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club in the southeast valley. The popular metro Phoenix golf tournament is now in its 22nd year. It traditionally attracts 98-to-100 of the world’s best ladies golfers and is considered among the strongest fields on the LPGA Tour. It is also one of the top sporting events in Arizona.

Caddies are needed to carry golf bags and assist the amateur golfers in their rounds on the championship course for the tournament’s pro-am events that are scheduled for March 15-16th. Individuals wishing to caddy must be at least 14 years of age and physically able to walk 18 holes and carry a full golf bag.

Experience is not necessary. Training will be provided on Saturday, March 13, 2004. All volunteer caddies will be provided with lunch and four (4) daily tickets to the tournament. Proceeds benefit Banner Health cancer programs.
