Sexy golf caddies for hire banned from courses for 'damaging the sport'

By Dan Newling

31st August 2009

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'

Caddies do far more work than carry the clubs. I can’t believe this is being taken seriously.

Too many men that allowed their putter to flutter.

Too much use of a wood on the fairway...

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?

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.

Aw, you blew it (no pun intended)
Carson: do you do anything to bring him luck?

Palmer: I kiss his balls.

Carson: [raised eyebrow]

Palmer: [flustered] I mean his golf balls!

Carson: I'll bet that makes his putter stand up.

Yes,

I am always amused by these stories. I remember when some old lady lawyers complained about bikini drink cart girls because they were wearing very tiny bikinis.

It seems it is a constant battle between those having R rated amusment and the old women threatened by women with better bodies.

Well, things HAVE changed and that “harmless” R-rated entertainment now comes with the little blue pill, suddenly enabling another round of play on the home course. No wonder some of the ladies are PO’ed. Others are happy but they’re too busy to complain.

HA HA

perhaps these are the sisters to the “viagra divorces”

(marriages that ended after viagra hit the market. All of a sudden the husbands wanted sex with their wives and the wives thought they no longer had to “deal with sex” and had been content to have sexless lives. So the marriages just ended.)

You should only get married if you are prepared to live with someone for better or for worse. Unfortunately guys usually get the short end of the stick, wives bodies going south, all the nagging. So we check out, mercifully, a few years before our spouses do. I'm going to stay single for as long as I can. Hopefully living to be 100.

This hysteria is getting a little tiresome. Are attractive women going to be banned from certain occupations because less attractive but very liberal and influential women are offended and feeling insecure?

I’m not threatened by this program in the least. Maybe it’s because I trust my boyfriend and know he’ll be loyal to me.

Jenna and Heidi, you are looking more vindicated every day.

Your post, Tiger, is one of the most absurd things I have seen on this forum in a long time. Perhaps the lack of punctuation has led me to read it in a way that you did not intend but, "Golf has no place anywhere..."? Absurd, truly.

Instead of going out for a haircut to places nearby that I am not totally thrilled with (usually waiting), I had the idea to arrange for a hairstylist from the Internet come to my home and cut my hair.

Afterward (this was yesterday btw) my wife asked me how I liked that and I said it was Great except she was too sexy.

Which for me was true, because i guess I have gone insane but my wife laughed and is planning her own “homecut” (i guess it would be called).

Why the objections? If the market exists, I’m sure this caddy-renting business will provide hunky male caddies for the female golfers.

Alas, the female golfers might monopolise the caddies meant for the “fusty old men,” LOL!
