Golf Etiquette: Must Golfers Tip Llama Caddies?

Caddyshacks May Be Outdated at Some U.S. Golf Courses. Llamas Are on the Links

Participating golfers give the llamas a big thumbs up.

The llama caddies have gained points for on-the-course discretion. They don't tend to roll their eyes when golfers call for mulligans. They don't snicker and whisper when golfers become teed off over missed swings. Most important, the llamas do not squeal when golfers alter their scorecards.

However, the llama caddies have not yet been trained in golf club selection, although some golf club staffers insist their llama caddies will stomp their approval or disapproval of a golfer's choice of irons.

Also, golfers may need to keep their llama caddies off the manicured putting greens. Llamas, after all, tend to eat grass.

Still, one must wonder. What does a golfer tip his llama caddy?
