Why are caddies mandatory at golf clubs in Thailand?
Most golfers are pleased that caddies are available to assist them pulling their golf clubs around the course especially in the heat. Besides providing employment for local ladies, the caddies also provide the necessary maintenance such as filling in the divots with sand, raking bunkers and reporting any problems on the course. It is a rule and regulation of every golf course in Phuket that each golfer must be accompanied by at least one caddie and as such there can be no flexibility with this. Caddie fee in most of the golf courses in Phuket is 250 Baht.
