I was a golfer back in the states. I don't even think about it anymore. The weather is very hot and humid here in Thailand. I haven't even looked in to it, I suspect not many people play except for a few

@John ******
those caddy outfits are so ugly. The girls dress like ninjas. I always tell them that they get more tips if they are in short shirt and tight blouse. But I guess those Thai girls care more about their skin than money.

You being overweight and probably a poor golfer you'd need a caddy, I don't need one, but not everyone thinks the same as youKevin *******
@Peter ******
say what ? Ho much would it cost you to hire a caddie back home for 6 hours ? It creates labour in this poor country they tend the courses on the days they're not caddying ! Unbelievable ! You don't want a caddie go plat the navy courses ! When you can't begrudge paying 20 £/$ you've been in Thailand too long !Peter *******
@Kevin ******
weird thing is people wouldn't dream of paying a caddy back home but are forced to here, if it was optional would be betterKevin *******
@Us ****
you can drive the cart but you still have to pay the company for the caddie and tip about the same ! 1000 baht small cost for a great service !Us *****
@Kevin ******
these caddies are chart chauffeur. I am not paying another 1000 baht for cart chauffeur. I can drive the cart myself.Kevin *******
