"Sexual harassment by caddies is a daily occurrence at golf courses… Unable to report, they sigh deeply inside."

A woman revealed common instances of sexual harassment she experienced while working as a caddie for eight years at a golf course.

On the 26th, a post titled "Sexual Harassment Experienced While Working as a Caddie for Eight Years" appeared on a social media thread.

Author A shared, "When I was new, I praised a customer's good shot by saying, 'You hit a good shot, sir,' to which the customer replied, 'Really? Are you going to do it once?'"

A continued, "When I didn’t understand and asked back, the customer said, 'Do you not know the meaning of that? Brother, do you want to sleep with me? For free.'"

At that time, 'good shot' was generally used as an abbreviation for "the best shot of the day," but it was being used in a distorted meaning among some golfers.

After experiencing such harassment, A mentioned that she no longer uses the expression 'good shot.'

Additionally, A wrote, "I don’t want to hear customers say things like, 'It’s hot, so take everything off. I can take it off too,' so I instead say, 'Would you like me to take off the driver and iron covers for you?'"

Furthermore, A appealed, "When I place the tee, comments like 'Why isn’t this standing? You can’t set it right. Are you already at that age?' are so common that I can only sigh deeply inside."

As the revelation of habitual sexual harassment occurring in golf courses emerged, most netizens responded with remarks such as, "I don’t think they’d even recognize that as sexual harassment," "I wish such people wouldn’t play golf. It brings down the status," and "Just hearing it once makes my blood boil, but for caddies, it’s a daily occurrence."

In 2022, a golf course permanently banned a member who habitually sexually harassed caddies.
