I always ask at the pro shop and then adjust based on service and whether the caddie has one bag or two. If my caddie has only my bag, I tip a bit more. The amount varies, if you are playing a high-dollar course the caddie fee will be pretty high.

For a fore caddie, even though they work their tail off, it is usually much less per golfer as the fee is generally split four ways. Again ask at the pro shop, then adjust according to service.

An example to answer the original question: I ask at the pro shop and am told the "suggested" caddie fee is 80 so I might pay a total of 100 if he carries two bags or maybe 125 if he only has one bag. Again, it is based on the suggested fee.
