    This year, Evans Scholars Foundation will pay for 1,130 former high school caddies to go to college. One of them is Jayda Dookie, who made the most of an incredible opportunity to loop in the Evans Scholars program at Seminole Golf Club. The latest TGJ Film explores how the daughter of two immigrant parents, neither of whom had played golf before, wound up carrying at one of the world’s most prestigious clubs, what it takes to caddie at Seminole and what a free education means to Jayda and her family.

    You've given your daughter the gift of yourself, an excellent Father and Guide, to understand and navigate this complex world. Well done Sir. Cheers, KG

    Its a nice film and a nice story, but it needs to be said: public colleges in the USA were basically free from 1945-85. An obviously bright student like Jayda didn’t have to worry about paying for school or decades spent paying off debt to attend. We could do that again if we chose to.
