Tipping a caddy
I am playing a course tomorrow morning that requires one caddy per group (referred to as a "forecaddie"). Why the "ie" ending anyway?
We have reserved a tee time for three. We will all be taking carts. This person will not be carrying any clubs. Just locating shots, raking bunkers, tending the pin, and giving general course directions and advice. Greens fees at this course are normally $120, but they are running an Easter special for $50. How much should our group tip this guy? As a side note, I really have grown to hate all the tipping that has become associated with playing golf. I grew up playing a very nice muni course where all anyone expected - and all we got - was a good looking beer bitch who we would overtip in hopes of screwing her someday. Who needs all these rediculous services like bag drop, club cleaning, and eight or nine "assistant golf pros" licking your balls and expecting tips. Anyway, I am playing this course and will have to tip this guy. How little can I get away with? |
