How caddies work, what to expect and how to make the experience smooth for your group.

The caddie role

Caddies support pace of play, club selection, course knowledge and green reading. Their exact duties vary by venue.

Communication

Simple, clear instructions work best. Confirm yardage units, preferred club and putting line rather than expecting the caddie to guess your routine.

Tipping

Tip expectations vary and can change. Your tour information should provide a current suggested amount before departure.

Group etiquette

Be ready when it is your turn, keep pace with the group ahead and treat the caddie team respectfully.

Plan around your group

The best itinerary depends on your dates, group size, preferred pace and accommodation style. ASEAN LINKS can combine golf, private transfers, hotels, dining and local experiences into one clear plan.
