Recognizing the most accomplished people who once caddied and growing the game by assisting those following their path
As Seen In
Official Caddying Story: Bill Stasior
William (Bill) F. Stasior is the former the chairman and CEO of Booz Allen Hamilton, one of the world’s largest consulting firms. Since his retirement, he’s remained active on the boards of the UNCF, the Western Golf Association, and Northwestern’s Kellogg School, as well as some private companies, including OPNET, later acquired by Riverbed Technology for over $1B. The first in his family to attend college, Bill got his start working as a caddie in Chicago, later becoming an Evans Scholar at Northwestern.
Official Caddying Story: Alan Fadel
Alan Fadel is the senior partner of the Aurora Group at Morgan Stanley, a former PGA Tour pro, and one of the more accomplished amateurs of his generation. But he first fell in love with the game working as a caddie in Ohio. With almost too many club championships to count at places like Inverness, Pine Valley, and Seminole, he is a member of the Ohio Golf Hall of Fame. He is also one of amateur golf’s biggest stalwarts through his leadership of the Amateur Golf Alliance and the Coleman Invitational. Most recently, Alan has united the First Tee and the Boys and Girls Club in Toledo, Ohio for a pilot program that uses golf as a potentially life-changing medium for underserved kids that may soon provide a model around the country.
Official Caddying Story: Jack Druga
Jack Druga is the head golf professional at one of the world’s most distinguished courses, Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. He was previously the head pro at the Country Club of Fairfield and The Creek Club, but it was caddying as a teenager in Pittsburgh that first introduced him to the game. An advisory board member of both Titleist and Peter Millar, Jack has done just about all there is to do in the game, including helping guide Tiger Woods around Shinnecock for 36 holes leading up to the 2018 US Open. He not only supports the game as a member of the PGA of America but also through the Metropolitan Golf Association (MGA) and on the board of the Amateur Golf Alliance (AGA).
