Foreign golfers will feel a little bit strange when they realize caddie is a must in each Vietnamese golf course.

Caddies in Vietnam mostly are women. They have the responsibility to consult their customers for the game. They also help golfers to carry golf equipment, take care of golfers such as swipe the clubs, pick up the ball, swipe golfers’ sweat, etc.

Why is caddie a must in Vietnam? There is a story behind that. When the first 2 golf courses were built in Vietnam (BRG Kings Island Golf Resort and Song Be golf resort), many people had to leave their houses because of the courses’ space. Therefore, the local government requires these courses to provide jobs for these people. Thus, citizens here were recruited to become caddies. So far, caddies have become an indispensable part in the golf culture and rules in Vietnam.
