For Chase Maasdorp, the idea for Tour Caddy didn’t come from a high-tech lab or boardroom brainstorming session—it came from the driving range. Watching golfers scoop balls from flimsy plastic buckets, he was struck by how outdated the experience felt. That moment sparked a question: What if we could merge the sleek appeal of a golf den caddy with the interactive fun of Topgolf? From that thought, the concept for Tour Caddy—a stylish, hands-free golf ball dispenser—was born.
Originally designed for himself, Chase wanted to elevate his own practice sessions. But as the idea took shape, it quickly became clear that Tour Caddy could benefit a much wider audience: weekend warriors, teaching pros, range owners, even simulator fans. The goal was simple—rethink the way golfers interact with their equipment and bring a touch of elegance and efficiency to the process.
The design approach was heavily influenced by luxury golf accessories and high-end tech gadgets. Chase and his team aimed for something that looked as good as it functioned. The result? A modern, minimal device that blends seamlessly into any setting—from backyard putting greens to commercial facilities.
Surprisingly, some of the coolest features came later in development. Tour Caddy now includes multiple dispensing modes—1, 2, 3-ball, or all-dispense—for different needs and scenarios. It’s not just smart; it’s versatile.
Before launch, Chase put Tour Caddy through its paces. “My favorite test was at the PGA Show,” he recalls. “We ran it non-stop, threw it in rental cars, moved it booth to booth—it held up great.” Battery life was a key focus, and users can now expect about two weeks of use per charge, with USB-C compatibility for easy recharging.
Feedback from early users has been overwhelmingly positive. Golfers love ditching the old baskets and embracing a more streamlined experience. Some have even found unexpected uses, placing Tour Caddy in home offices, backyards, and indoor putting areas.
What makes Tour Caddy stand out? “It works like it should,” Chase says simply. Its hands-free operation and refined look redefine the standard for practice equipment, making it a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their setup.
Looking ahead, Chase is excited for the official launch—and even more excited to see Tour Caddy “out in the wild.” And yes, there are more products on the horizon. For now, though, this golf-loving innovator—who first swung a club at Waterlefe summer camp—just wants to make practice feel as good as play.
