Caddies… all part of a wonderful Asian Golf Vacation!
At most Asian golf courses, your first encounter will be with a smiling, well-trained caddie, often female. In Thailand alone, over 25,000 caddies assist golfers, handling tasks like pulling trolleys, selecting clubs, giving yardages, and reading greens. They’re invaluable, especially in hot weather, and some even carry ice packs or umbrellas for your comfort. Many caddies play golf themselves and have deep course knowledge. A tip of US$15-25 is customary after your round. As Thai PGA star Thongchai Jaidee says, "Caddies are Asian golf’s secret weapon!" Find out more here.
