Yep.
We caddies (before there were golf carts) loved to caddy for women. They didn't tip as much as some men, but they were an easy loop.
Their bags were smaller and lighter and we'd just walk from tee to green down the center of the fairway.. the shortest distance on the course.. while the ladies chatted away between shots.
I could easily caddy for 4 women, but caddying for two wild young guys who hit it long but sideways would wipe me out.
