How does it work?
Caddychicks.com is an online meeting place for golfers and caddies. As a caddy,
you post your profile, the rate per hour/round you would charge, and your general
availability. Golfers in your area can see your profile and send you a request to
see if you are available for their round of golf.
How much does it cost?
Basic membership is free and will still allow you to communicate and interact with
other members. However, for unlimited & additional beneifts, we suggest you
upgrade your account to a Premium membership.
See Benefits
A Premium Membership allows you full access to our site. The cost is dependent on
the length of membership.
1 Month Membership = $ 19.95 / month
3 Month Membership = $ 5.95 / month
6 Month Membership = $ 4.95 / month
12 Month Membership = $ 3.95 / month
What are the odds that I get booked?
We can’t guarantee that you will get booked. That is up to you and the golfers.
There are a lot of factors that golfers tell us that go into their decision making
process. Those include how much you charge, your availability, your golf knowledge
and your profile comments. Our experience is that the caddies who charge a reasonable
rate, answer their emails, and are frequently available get excellent bookings.
Of course, if you’re near a popular destination resort, such as Hawaii, Phoenix,
or Las Vegas, your odds are better than caddies in remote locations.
Is this safe?
Your safety is of the utmost concern for us. You have to use your best judgment
if you do not feel safe. Since you are meeting a golfer in a public place usually
with a lot of other people around, you should be safe. Again, just use your best
judgment. If you’re not comfortable with the golfer who has booked you, all you
have to say is “I’m not comfortable with this arrangement,” and your obligation
is ended.
How much golf do I need to know?
You should know as much about the game of golf as possible. That doesn’t mean you
have to know as much as Tiger Woods’ golf caddy, but the more you know, the more
valuable you are to the golfer. A caddie’s job is described as “one who assists
a golfer”. We encourage you to read the rules of golf, spend time learning about
golf, and present yourself as professionally as possible. Realize that our golfers
will rate you. If you present yourself as a serious caddy with great knowledge of
the course, clubs to use, distances, and other golf variables, we’re sure that both
your bookings and your tips will reflect your knowledge and hard work.
What do I need to wear to the golf course?
Most golf courses have a dress code. We advise you call the course before you go
to find out what that is. Generally, you should wear shorts, slacks or a golf skirt,
with a polo type shirt. Never wear denim! A hat and tennis shoes are a must too.
If you want to dress to impress, go to the Caddychicks Pro Shop and get your caddy
gear there. http://www.caddychicks.com/CaddyShop/Web/
What is expected of me as a caddy?
At the bare minimum, you should keep you golfers’ clubs and golf balls clean, the
sand traps raked, divots filled and his beer glass filled! If you are good enough
to read greens and help with yardages; that is even better!
How does the SMS notification work?
You will be notified by email of a golfer’s requests/emails that have been sent
to you. You can also have the option of being notified by text message on your cell
phone. You need to select that option in your profile. It is very important that
you make sure that you allow emails from our domain, caddychicks.com, to get through
any spam filters.
Do I have to accept a job?
No. If you are not available, send the golfer a reply that you are not available.
In your reply, you may also send comments on when you may be available.

When do I have to let the golfer know about if I am available or not?
Because caddy jobs are time sensitive, you should let the golfer know as soon as
you receive the request. If you are not sure, you can email him back and let him
know when you will know what your schedule is.
What are the golfer ratings?
After the round of golf, the golfer has the option to rate you on your punctuality,
appearance and golf knowledge. This lets the other golfers see what the golfer thought
of your caddy performance.
How do I get paid?
That is up to you. The golfer will normally pay at the end of the round. We suggest
you let the golfer know how you want to get paid before the round so there are no
misunderstandings.

How much should I charge?
What you charge is what you feel your time is worth. It also depends on how much
golf knowledge you have, how many caddies are competing for the jobs in your area,
etc. Our research says that 95% of the caddies that are booked charge on average
$18 an hour. Again, your professionalism, appearance, and golf knowledge—reflected
in your golfer reviews—will help you earn a higher rate.
What is the picture policy?
You can upload up to 6 pictures in your profile. Picture formats allowed are - .GIF
or .JPG (max file size is 3mb). Pictures must be tasteful. No nudity, implied nudity,
no underwear pictures, no pictures laying on a bed or in any overtly suggestive
poses. Don't post just one picture with you and your friends. Your potnetial golfers
will not know which one you are in the picture. So please make sure that the main
depicted person in the photo stands out. The complete picture policy and tips are
in the photo page when you sign up.
Why is my account not active?
Your account may not be active because you have not posted pictures, we have not
approved your account, you have your profile set to invisible in your account settings
or it has been longer than 60 days since you logged in. I accepted a caddy job.
But now I am unavailable. Now what? Send the golfer a message as soon as you know
you cannot make it. You can also send us a message and we will try and contact him
as well.
Blocking an annoying/ inappropriate member
If you get a message from a member you feel is in appropriate or you are being harassed,
you may send us a message and we will monitor or block that person’s account if
inappropriate comments/harassment continues.
How are the caddies of the month chosen?
Each month we select a caddy that best represent Caddychicks.com™. Your profile
will be highlighted as the caddy of the month if we choose you.
