Hi I am a student at Central Michigan University. I am working on a functional apparel design project for golf caddies. It would be great if you could fill out my short survey. Your answers are really valuable to me.


Caddie Information Survey

a. 2hrs b. 2-3hrs c. 3-4hrs d. 4hrs +

2. How heavy is the golf bag?
a. 10-20 lbs. b. 20-30 lbs. c. 30-40 lbs. d. 40lbs. +

3. Indicate where the golf bag causes pain on the body.

4. On a scale of 1 to 5 rate the physical exertion of caddying. (5 is high exertion, 1 is low exertion)
Low exertion High exertion

5. Do you apply sunscreen before or during the round? If so where?

6. How much do you hydrate during a round?

most caddies are college kids or older (low-income) men who do this for a living. None of which really think about sun-screen, or the clothes they wear. The weight of the bag varies by how many dozens of golf balls the members stuff into their bags. Women's bags tend to be very light or very heavy.

I caddied for 2 summers as a teen and I only though about the $ I was making, not the "form fitting" shirt I wore. I don't think your survey is written to the target audience properly. Sorry.

Thanks for replying. I'm actually designing a garment for a golf caddy for my class. The questions are directed to hopefully get a background on what could improve the basic polo.
