Name: Gina CloepfilAge: 23
College: Oregon State ’08
Golf course: Crosswater in Bend, Ore. (sunriver-resort.com; 541-593-4402; $175 on weekends; 4.5 stars).
Short story: “What do you have in there?” I asked Cloepfil when she rolled up to my group on the eighth green at Crosswater. “Whatever your little heart desires,” she said. But she didn’t mean it. Cloepfil isn’t a regular navigator of the beverage cart at Crosswater. She graduated last year from Oregon State with a degree in merchandising management. She works in the golf shop but volunteers for some shifts in the beverage cart a few days a week because it gets her time in the sun. “It’s better than being in the shop with the boys. And I get a tan--which I need.”Golf game: “You don’t want to put anything about my golf game in there. I can drive the cart, and I like the driving range, but this course is too long for me.”
Hobbies and interests: Cloepfil is a three-time Oregon State intramural skeet-shooting champion. She likes farming, camping, four-wheelers and hunting. “I like anything that’s outdoors. My dad takes me pheasant and duck hunting all the time. I love it.”
Tip jar: “The best day by myself has been $90. But I made $160 on a day when we pooled the tips.”
Local knowledge: “My favorite bar in Bend is Bo Bar. And when it’s hot, my friends and I like to float on inner tubes down the Deschutes River.”
Status: Easy, boys. Cloepfil has had a boyfriend for almost four years.
As I go from course to course, lakes to driving schools, zip-lines to water parks, I'll continue to profile caddies, superintendents, starters, guides and beverage-cart girls. If they have a story, I'll pass it on.
