It is - at the very least - a sure-fire way for even the least talented golfer on the course to be guaranteed a birdie.
At the most, however, it is a sexist gimmick which will only strengthen golf's image as a game for fusty old men with rather 'traditional' views of women.
The golfing community has been split by the birth of a controversial new caddy service which provides attractive, nubile women to carry players' clubs. Banned: [Pics in URL] Eye Candy Caddies have banned from a series of golf courses for being 'culturally insensitive' and reinforcing the idea that golf is a man's sport
Eye Candy Caddies provides attractive young female models to caddy at golf clubs across Britain.
The company's employees wear tight-fitting, pink uniforms as they accompany players around the course, carry their clubs and offer advice on prevailing wind conditions.
Now, however, one of the country's largest golf firms has banned the company from its courses. Leaderboard golf courses has banished the caddies from its four courses in Kent and Surrey, claiming the service is 'culturally insensitive'

TWWP :)
Caddies do far more work than carry the clubs. I can’t believe this is being taken seriously.
NOT GUILTY YOUR HONOR!!!!!
Too much use of a wood on the fairway...
Stand by for jokes about ball washers and club cleaners in 5, 4, 3....
WWP
Not to mention counting strokes or choosing between wood or iron...
Tapped it in....hard drive...good grief...bet there’s a million of them
Is nothing sacred?
What’s next...scantily clad cheerleaders at NFL games?
Gives new meaning to “hitting into the fuzz”...
Johnny Carson interviewimg Mrs. Arnold Palmer: “so do you do something for Arnie to bring him luck, like, kiss his balls or something?
Not another word was said for 3 minutes.:)
I didn’t read the article, but did it mention anything about the clubs no longer hiring attractive young females to dress in short shorts and low cut blowses for their beverage carts?
May be your competition could get a little distracted. Sorry but I don’t see that as a problem?
Bedroom Golf
* Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play. Normally one club and two (2) balls.
* Play on a course must be approved by the owner of the holes.
* Owner of the course must approve the equipment before may begin.
* For most effective play, the club must have a firm shaft. Course owners are permitted to check the shaft stiffness before play begins.
* Course owners reserve the right to restrict the shaft length to avoid any damage to the course.
* Unlike outdoor golf, the goal is to get the club into the hole, while keeping the balls out.
* The object of the game is to take as many strokes as deemed necessary until the course owner is satisfied that play is complete. Failure to do so may result in being denied permission to play the course in the future.
* It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon arrival at the course. The experienced player will normally take time to admire the entire course with special attention being given to the well formed bunkers.
* Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they may have played or currently playing to the owner of the course being played. Upset course owners have been known to damage a players equipment for this reason.
* Players should assure themselves that their match has been properly scheduled, particularly when a new course is being played for the first time. Previous players have been known to become irate if they discover someone else playing what they consider to be a private course.
* Players should not assume a course is in shape for play at all times. Some players may be embarrassed if they find the course to be temporarily under repair. Players are advised to be extremely tactful in this situation. More advanced players will find alternate means of play when this is the case. Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear along, just in case.
* Players are advised to obtain the course owners permission before attempting to play the back nine.
* Slow play is encouraged, however, players should be prepared to proceed at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the request of the course owner.
* It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the same hole several times in one match.
* The course owner will be the sole judge as to who is the best player.
* Players are advised to think twice before considering membership at a given course. Additional assessments may be levied by the course owner, and the rules are subject to change. For this reason many players prefer to continue to play several different courses.
read? There was an article??
I am willing to help comfort these poor unemployed creatures during their time of emotional distress.
Time to dust off the old Johnny Carson story about Arnold Palmer’s wife appearance on the show?
