arMate Leah puts the fun in professional
caddie services — which she's provided at
both Bali Hai and Royal Links golf clubs
for about three years.
"I think most people feel very comfortable
around me very quickly, and are surprised by
how much I know about golf," said Leah.
According to Leah, a ParMate's number one
responsibility is to "make sure our golfers have a
great time! We do this by assisting them with
anything they need — from club selection and
yardage guidance to getting drinks and selecting
music. We do everything a regular caddie would
do … ParMates just look a little cuter doing it."
What's the most common advice you offer to
golfers on the course? Watch out for all the
bunkers at Royal Links! Although, it is fun to
watch golfers try to escape the "Coffin Bunker"
on the 8th hole. I also tell them to relax and have
fun. Golf shouldn't be too serious in Las Vegas.
What's the biggest misconception golfers have
about parMates? That we are just pretty girls that
don't know anything about golf!
What do you like most about working as a par-
Mate? I have always loved sports, and have
grown to really love golf. As an active athlete,
avid golfer and outgoing adventurer, I love being
on the golf course and I love being outside.
What's the most unusual thing you've experi-
enced on the job? I once saw someone call out
that they were going to get a hole-in-one … and
then they actually made a hole-in-one! I was very
impressed.
What one word would you use to describe
yourself? Can I have three words? Passionate, ad-
venturous and bubbly.
What is your motto on the job? 1) What hap-
pens on the golf course, stays on the golf course.
2) Tee it high, let it fly. 3) Golf is an easy game.
It's just hard to play.
are you a golfer? If so, how often do you get to
play? Yes! I do aerial fitness training most days
so it can be difficult to get out as much as I
would like. But, when I'm not caddying or train-
ing aerial, I'm on the golf course. Lately, I have
been going out to work on my irons.
What's your favorite thing about the game of
golf? I love the feeling when you connect the
driver with the ball and it flies effortlessly down
the fairway. I also love relaxing on a beautiful day
with friends and being active at the same time.
