Cart Girls

[chilepepper]

Played a course in Playa del Carmen, MX a few months ago that had a cart hombre. Middle aged guy, he did pretty well tip wise. Everything on the cart was free, booze, soft drinks, sandwiches.

When I lived in North Jersey there was a hot dog truck where the owner would wear a bikini during lunches. Hot dogs, nothing special but her business was great.. Just saying a little harmless flirting goes a long way.

I tip the same regardless of gender, age or hotness.  

On the rare occasion I utilize their services, so do I. It was just a memorable thing because I had never seen a male perform that role before or since.

And he did look disappointed, but not on my account.

I had a cart girl last season who was certainly not attractive, but impressed me more than any other when she asked to borrow my Driver and proceeded to PURE a drive right down the center.  Obviously she played college somewhere and we all walked away impressed.  I can't remember but I hope I tipped her well, she earned it.

Its interesting at our small private club.  The girls who run the beverage cart are the same girls who might serve you (and your wife) dinner or pour your drinks in the tavern.  We get to know anyone who sticks around for more than a few weeks, which lowers the flirtation level significantly.  I know 4 guys, away from home, knowing they'll never see the bev-cart girl again, can act like complete buffoons.  But if I'm going to see her every weekend, all summer, maybe for a few summers, I'm going to treat her with respect and consideration, and I'll get in the face of any member (or guest) who treats her badly.

And lest any of our female members here at TST see my use of "girls" as disrespectful, please excuse me.  Since I'm at least 30 years older than any of them, they all look like girls to me, but they all deserve and get my respect.

I've only seen cart girls in the States but I loved the concept,they were always up for a bit of banter as well as serving you drinks.

Me too, and then only on organised "golf days", usually in conjunction with a conference or something. In Europe, most courses don't even have a half-way house - you have to cart your drinks and food around in your bag. In Thailand (where Scotsclaff lives and plays, too), they often have rest areas every 3-5 holes where you can buy drinks, (sometimes warm) food and - interestingly - packs of 6-8 used lake balls, normally sorted by manufacturer. Given the number of water hazards on most courses there, this comes in very handy ...

I went on a Tinder date once and turned out the girl was a cart girl during the summer at Bethpage.

They drive the beverage cart around and serve you beverages. Or snacks.

Some courses try to employ "hot" ones the same way some restaurants try to have attractive servers.

My friend runs a golf club in the UK, and he sussed out that most men were bringing their own beer with them. During the summer months he now has someone selling it from a cart.

Well said. I would add I take this approach with everyone I meet for the first time. Pay respect forward.

Tinder is a "dating" app that is popular among the crowd that wants to skip the dinner and the movie.

Even the Old Course at St Andrews has a small cart selling refreshments at the end of the 9th hole!

Yeah, but it's not open all that often IIRC. You can't even find much on Google about it.

I just tried to google it too, and didn't find anything.  I just remember it being there, back near the toilets.  One of my buddies required a beer to be able to continue!  I stopped every morning to get a bacon roll to take to the course, and carried a bottle of water.
