For most golfers, divot repair is just a small part of the game. But for Craig, a local Northern Beaches golf enthusiast with a knack for turning frustration into invention, it became the seed of a big idea—a game-changing solution that’s making waves on courses everywhere.
Craig’s journey to creating the Gopher Caddy started where most great ideas begin: with a frustrating problem. Traditional sand buckets were clunky, spill-prone, and easy to lose along the course. (Craig jokes that his sand bucket had a better handicap than he did, always finding the bunker before he could.) As an avid walker who loved the game’s rhythm and challenge, Craig found himself constantly annoyed by the inefficiency of these outdated tools.
Turning a Problem into a Solution
Craig didn’t just complain about the problem—he set out to solve it. Over the course of several years, he brainstormed, designed, and tested prototypes, driven by the idea of a spill-proof, convenient, and hands-free solution for divot repair.
The result? The Gopher Caddy:
- Spill-Proof Design: Its patented locking system keeps sand exactly where it belongs—inside the carrier. (Craig swears it’s tighter than his golf buddies’ grip on their wallets.)
- Hands-Free Convenience: It clips securely to your bag, making it easy to access without interrupting your game.
- Lightweight and Durable: Designed for walkers, the Gopher Caddy is compact and sturdy, ensuring it’s an asset, not a burden.
Changing the Game for Walkers
For golfers who walk the course, every detail matters. Carrying a bag, managing your clubs, and maintaining focus for 18 holes is no small feat. The Gopher Caddy eliminates one major hassle: the messy, inconvenient sand bucket.
- Stay in the Zone: With easy access and no spills, repairing divots becomes second nature, not a chore.
- A Better Walking Experience: Lightweight and secure, the Gopher Caddy keeps your hands free and your load manageable.
- Do Your Part with Ease: The simplicity of the Gopher Caddy encourages more players to carry sand, helping to keep greens in pristine condition. (Craig likes to call it the "greenkeeper’s best friend.")
