⛳ Our caddies need golfers like you!
The best way to support our Ready Fore Work Caddie Program, presented by Groundworks, is simple—book a round and request a caddie.
Now in its fourth year, the program provides approximately 35 teens with the opportunity to earn money while developing workplace skills like professionalism, communication, customer service, golf etiquette, and responsibility.
🏌️ Tee times with caddies are available Monday and Wednesday evenings beginning at 5:00 p.m.
Caddie fees are generously covered by our program sponsors, so there's no additional cost to request a caddie. Tips of $10–$20 are encouraged and greatly appreciated by our caddies.
To schedule a caddie, contact Coach Martin King-Smith:
📞 412-638-2855
📧 [email protected]
Every round creates a meaningful opportunity. Thank you for helping our young people grow both on and off the course. 💚⛳

First Tee – Pittsburgh is proud to partner with local law enforcement through our Ready Fore Work Caddie Program at The Bob O'Connor Golf Course.
Officers and staff can enjoy 9 holes for just $6 when they play with one of our Ready Fore Work caddies.
