THE scorching sun or pouring rain cannot let these figures in yellow and gray uniforms down. They faithfully accompanied the golfers at the grass field of LotusLakes Golf Club in West Karawang, West Java.
They are the Caddies, who are attractive and smart, yet have strong physique as well. One of them is Amih Melawati, who has been a part of LotusLakes Golf Club Caddy since 2015.
“We do not only carry golf bags, pick up balls or choose sticks, but we have to learn a lot and understand about golf,” explained this sweet Karawang girl who is familiarly called Ami.
To be a Caddy, one must master golf rules, know the function of each stick, can analyze the weather and wind that can determine ball direction, understand the field character, carefully analyze the distance between holes, able to measure the distance of ball, and give tips, especially in Green or Bunker area.
The physical condition of a Caddy must be maintained because not every golfer wants to use golf cart, but choose to walk. Therefore, a Caddy must follow the golfers walking miles away while pulling a golf bag.
“I have accompanied a Japanese golfer playing 27-hole, so we have to walk all day. Fortunately, the LotusLakes Golf Club has natural nuance, so it’s not boring, “said the fan of spicy food.
Ami further explained that as a Caddy at LotusLakes Golf Club, she must be communicative, friendly, meticulous, and enthusiastic so she won’t disappoint the golfer she accompanied. “We, the Caddies in LotusLakes Golf Club are ready to assist golfers with high dedication and professionalism,” she said.
