Twin sisters Ada and Anabelle Lee, who caddy at Goat Hill Park Golf Club in Oceanside, have referred to what recently happened to them as "unbelievable," "crazy," "like I can't even imagine," "it is really wild."
So what happened to these seniors at Mission Vista High School in Oceanside?
Ada and Anabelle Lee received the Western Golf Association's Chick Evans Scholarship, a full, 4-year housing and tuition college scholarship for golf caddies.
The twin sisters began caddying at Goat Hill in 2019, just a few years later they've earned a college scholarship valued at an estimated $125,000 over 4 years.

"It actually makes me feel really good," says Ada. "Because I really enjoy caddying and I want to do my best to support my family because college is expensive, and just getting it makes me feel really proud of myself, a really good feeling."
The twins are considering the University of Washington, Oregon and Kansas.
"All of them are really good schools, so hearing housing and tuition is included is incredible," says Anabelle.
