She also talks about the power of partnerships with likeminded groups like Pinehurst (https://womensgolfday.com/location/pinehurst-resort/) and Evian Resort (https://womensgolfday.com/location/evian-resort/) that provide the resources, connectivity and credibility that has allowed WGD to quickly scale around the world.
At the Women's Golf Day event at Fraserview GC in Vancouver, Colin speaks with event organizer Joan Probert and Head Teaching Professional Tom Monaghan to learn about their previous WGD hosting experience and what they have planned for the 60 women that evening.
Colin then reveals the fun, engaging stories from the women participating at the Vancouver WGD event, both during the two hour skills clinic and post-golf social time.

  <itunes:subtitle>Would you pay for a caddie if they were reasonably priced and made your golfing experience more enjoyable? CaddieNow Founder and CEO Dave Cavossa shares how he has eliminated the pain points by looking to successes in other industries to solve the problem. Host Colin Weston speaks with Dave to learn what drives him as as an entrepreneur and how initial golf industry ignorance turned out to be his startup superpower.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>Dave Cavossa could have played it safe. He had a very successful professional career that would have carried him comfortably into retirement. But Dave's unrelenting desire to create something impactful gave him the courage to step outside his comfort zone, act on an opportunity and begin his entrepreneurial journey. This journey led to the creation of CaddieNow, a technology-based "Uber for Caddying" that aligns with a largely untapped, on-demand, young, mobile labour force.
CaddieNow (https://caddienow.com/) is dedicated to bringing caddies (loopers) back to the game and giving every golfer the option of taking a caddie at every course. CaddieNow enables everyone to "Play Like the Pros," exercise more, and help employ and grow the game with the crucial 14-20 year-old demographic.

CaddieNow https://uploads.fireside.fm/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/SqPQElko.jpg

Topics discussed in this episode include:

• Dave's love of golf and experience caddying as a young adult that have both informed and inspired the creation of CaddieNow.

• How CaddieNow has created a Blue Ocean Strategy (https://www.blueoceanstrategy.com/) that looks outside the golf industry for a business roadmap that opens up an uncontested market space.

• CaddieNow's ability to build a three-sided marketplace, solving problems and creating opportunities for golf course operators, golfers and on-demand caddies.

• How CaddieNow embraced The Lean Startup Methodology (https://leanstartup.co/) when they launched in 2016 by starting with a "Minimal Viable Product" in the Washington DC golf market. After their first year of using the build/test/measure/learn feedback loop of validated learning, CaddieNow refined and enhanced their product offering before scaling up to over 100 golf courses nationwide in 2017. CaddieNow will more than double the number of golf courses offering their on-demand caddie booking service in 2018, positioning themselves to scale across the 15,000 golf courses in the US.
