CADDIES
Caddies should be requested in advance
and are subject to availability. No outside caddies
are permitted without permission of the caddy
master.
Caddies are not employed by the Club itself,
but are engaged by golfers who might require
their assistance when playing golf. Those caddies are of varying
levels: some are extremely capable at
reading the lines of putts, calculating the distances to pins and
recommending clubs to players. No matter what
level of competence may
have been attained, all caddies are
required to be courteous and show great care for
the course itself. They understand the
need to repair pitch marks, divots and to rake untidy
bunkers. The safety of personal effects is the responsibility of the
player.
