Caddying

Hey

Anyone else caddy as a part time job at your course.
at dornoch we get £35 a round but get tips so average about £50.
It's a pretty good way to get some spare cash.

I know of a guy that resinged form his job to train as a caddy fro the courses in St Andrews.
He mainly works the old course and Kingsbarns.
Gets paid a f*cking fortune. Its all in the tips like but the boys from the good ol' US of A love a tip and if they have played well we are talking £100.

Not caddying I know but on hijacking the thread about tips..........Another guy I knew worked in the Hamptons (New York) in some posh hotel for the summer a few years ago and some boy asked him to stand in a queue for a tee time at the local course from 5am in the mornign to get a late call off or something. Turned out he got him a time and was only in the queue for 1 hour. The boy handed him 300 dollars as a thankyou. He calle din sick that day and got plastered on the tip money!!

a friend of mine worked as a caddy at st andrews this summer. he has been earning circa £1000.00 per week. his only outgoings were £5 to the caddy master at the start of each day he wanted to work.

good work if you can get it! :(

The differences between the US and the UK are that we only have caddies at the popular tourist courses, like St Andrews, Carnoustie etc. I'd also imagine some of the 'closed doors' clubs like Sunningdale, Queenwood etc have them, but if you rock up to even a 'posh' normal club you'll be lugging your own bats around.
In the US they seem to have caddies everywhere you go, probably how all the kids on BSG get all their $$$.
