Bob,
I talked my wife into taking almost a year off (from the real world) when we were married in 2008 - she is/was a historic preservationist and I am a HS math teacher and former PGA Apprentice. We honeymooned across Canada for a month before landing in Bandon with a caddie gig lined up in advance. Paige then got hooked up in the Lodge and we lived "on campus" in the new (at the time) employee housing. Six of the best months of my life.
Even though Paige doesn't play, she would walk with me while I played and read/take pics/etc. as I got in about 50 rounds total - many with her as my lone partner. Note, in 2008, a caddie had to be playing with another caddie or actual employee of the resort - caddies are independent contractors. I would assume, especially with the resort being nearly completely booked, that this policy still holds.
One of the best choices we've ever made as a couple!!
Hope this helps. Cheers, Will
