Beaver is on a search for a job that he can work during the summer. He goes through a list of jobs that he can do and ultimately decides that he wants to work as a caddy at the local golf club. However, despite his enthusiasm, he struggles with the job as it is not as easy as he thought. He first lacks knowledge about the sport which causes him to make a fool of himself in front of the golfers. Additionally, he has a hard time keeping up with the pace of the game and keeping track of all the different clubs. Despite all of his shortcomings, he continues to work hard at the job, eager to prove himself.
Beaver's job presents several challenges, one of them being the long hours. He wakes up early in the morning to get to the golf course on time and spends many hours on his feet, running around with heavy bags of golf clubs. The physical demands of the job take a toll on him and soon he begins to feel exhausted. However, despite this, he remains committed to his job. He continues to carry out his caddy duties with a smile on his face, eager to please.
Another challenge for Beaver is dealing with some of the more difficult golfers. Some of them are rude, demanding, and impatient. They expect Beaver to have a thorough knowledge of the game and to keep track of their every move. Despite this pressure, Beaver manages to remain calm and polite, even in the face of tough customers. He takes their criticism in stride and uses it as motivation to improve his skills.
As the season progresses, Beaver improves his skills as a caddy. He learns the ins and outs of the game and becomes an expert at carrying the different types of clubs. His hard work and dedication are noticed by the golfers, who begin to appreciate him more. They commend his commitment to the job and his good attitude, and some even leave him generous tips.
Throughout the season, Beaver also deals with other personal challenges. He struggles with his studies, particularly in math, and worries about his grades. Furthermore, he experiences a typical adolescence, navigating friendship, and social dynamics with his peers. However, despite all of this, he remains determined to do well in his job as a caddy.
The episode concludes with a golf tournament in which Beaver is assigned as a caddy to an elderly golfer. The golfer is not the most talented, but Beaver sticks with him and provides him with encouragement and enthusiasm. Despite being outmatched by the competition, the two continue to enjoy the game.
