One of the great things that separate golf in Thailand to golf in Europe is the services and hospitality on offer. In England, I would grab my clubs, pay my green fees and just get out there by myself against Mother Nature's sculptured back garden. As is the nature of Asian hospitality, caddies are an instrumental part of the functioning of a golf course in these parts. I can feel that you have some questions about caddies in Phuket? well, let me please indulge you!
Why do I need a caddy when playing in Phuket?
It's not really a case of Why, but more of a case that caddies are compulsory on Phuket golf courses. But let's be honest, it's very hot out here and you are on holiday. Do you really want to drag your own clubs around for 18 holes? Caddies will deal with the less-important facets of playing golf, allowing you to concentrate on your game and making that perfect birdie putt.
What duties does the caddy perform?
The vast majority of Phuket caddies are females. They do a fantastic job of ensuring golfers flow around the course without so much slow play. They will take care of your bag from the moment you arrive at the course until the moment you leave. You don't even have to think about it. They will constantly keep an eye on where your ball lands, advise you of bunkers, OBs and water hazards. Some of the best caddies will give you perfect advice on the right putting lines and your shot yardages. All in all, they do everything aside from hitting the ball?. that's your job!
How much do I tip my caddy?
How much to tip a caddy is a frequently asked question. The standard rates for tipping are usually between 200 ? 500 THB, with 300 THB being the average. My advice would be to tip on performance, although you should always tip something because it's a long way around an 18-hole golf course carrying a set of clubs. If your caddie does a great job of advising you in regards of the correct distances and putting lines, then tip her appropriately. I generally tip 500 THB if a caddy has a happy and positive attitude that makes my experience even more enjoyable.
