The story about Keith Anderson and the Evans Scholarship warmed my heart. I am an alum of the Evans program (University of Minnesota). The Evans scholarship is a tremendous program and seeing what it did for Keith Anderson confirms that Chick's dream is alive and well. Hopefully, more needy caddies will be aware of this opportunity from you sharing Keith's story.

I'm with you, Ron. I'm also an alumnus, as is my brother Tom, and when I hear that caddy programs are on the wane, I don't think loops lost, but scholarships gone wasting. Receiving the Evans Scholarship is an event that saves, changes, re-directs a young person's life. Although best-known in the Midwest, where the Scholars have houses at the Big Ten schools as well as at Marquette, there are also Evans houses at schools as Far West as Colorado and Washington. Western Golf Association, which administers the scholarship, seeks caddy candidates nationwide. Check out the site for requirements and application procedures. It's worth a look. If you're at a club overseeing a caddy program, it's reason alone to keep that program healthy. It could change somebody's life.
