The cost is $100 for the Group, not "Per Player" and correct, he is not carrying our bags. I would hope he gets $75 ($15 per hour) but have no idea what he actually gets out of that base charge. I do think I need to double the "Standard Per Player" tip since I would not expect the other 2 in our group to tip him/her. -

Day 109 (19 Aug 24) - net set up in the backyard. Spent some time with setup and making solid contact - hit 6i, 7i and PW. Good session, love the sound of a well hit ball and when the same slaps into the target….ka - pow! -

Is the $100 + tip per bag or for the two of you? Caddie is probably getting most of that $100, so it's not like tipping $25 is paying only $5 per hour. Around me, most of the courses charge about $100-150 per bag, but that's caddying not fore-caddying. Then I'd say most will give around $40-50 on top of the baseline amount. So think about $140-200 per bag. Carry two bags and the caddie is making $300-400 per round. Fore-caddying is you drive your clubs around in a cart and some kid comes out and reads the greens, rakes the bunkers, holds the flag and watches your ball from up the fairway when you tee off? If he's already getting $200 (i.e., it's per bag and not per foursome/twosome whatever), that's pretty darn good money for what he's doing. If he owes $20 to the caddie master, it's still $30/hr plus whatever you tip him. If the website is saying $10-25 and you give him $50 for the two of you plus the $100 or $200, I'd think that was probably fine. I might think about upping it somewhat if it's not per bag, but per group. So maybe give him $200 in total if it's per group and $250 if it's per bag. -

Not with a Caddie but I've been to dinner with people that low-ball tips and know how you feel. I'm going to be positive and expect a very good experience. I was thinking in the $100-$150 range for the tip but not knowing I do not want to accidentally be "That Guy" that is low-ballin them. -

Just me…ok. Just me, but the few times I played where a caddie was with me I threw a hundee cuz I thought their service was outstanding. Now I did play with some ass clowns who were low ballin the caddie and I wanted nothing to do with them so I hooked the caddie up myself.
