Tips for Caddies at Pebble Beach
 
Just thought I'd ask one more time--what the going rate for tips for caddies is at Pebble. Usually caddies get about 15% of the greens fees, but the fees are so high at Pebble, that 15% would put the tip at about the same amount as the caddie fee--that can't be right.
Please help. Thanks.

Tip for Caddies...

Don't caddy in a lightning storm, no matter what the tip!

Sorry, couldn't help myself, and I'd only suggest asking a concierge, since I have no idea. Good luck and let us know!

Thanks, that's good advice about the lightning, certainly don't want to be out in the lightning holding big metal sticks.

unless it's a 2-iron almesq... even God can't hit a 2-iron. as to the tip, $36 sounds about right.

Thanks for the help. And no problem on the lightning--I don't even carry a 2 iron.
