Media rights you say?

Our latest caddy blog...

Every journey starts with a single step. Enter Phil Mickelson. The first “big name” to break ranks and pose questions about the use of players’ media rights by the various host tours. No doubt ranks will be closed. He’ll be briefed against etc etc. All part of the inevitable reactionary “f...

'It's time to pack...'

A regular caddy's honest opinion on the 2022 DP World Tour schedule

Yes. Here I am at the start of my twentysomethingth year on tour ... or “out here”. Whichever you prefer. A lot of things are planned. Like which flights I’m on. Which hotels I’m staying at. Who I’ll be sharing with and who I most certainly won’t be. Which weeks I need to persuade him to...

The new European schedule is out

And for British nationals it may get a bit tricky!

On every tour there is a player who plays virtually every week. Which means his caddy gets to go too. So on the face of it, today’s announcement of the DP World Tour schedule for 2022 is good news for anyone who falls into this category on what was called the European Tour . More tournaments to pl

'Time to find a new job?'

It’s that nervous time of year again. Because with only 4 regular tournaments left this season on the European Tour, caddy thoughts are turning to next year’s employment options. Now, if your man is already guaranteed a top 60 finish, aside from the usual day-to-day stresses of the job and assum...

We're collecting data...

And someone's making a lot of money!

'Golf, data, betting and caddies...'

Something is bugging me. Not the possibility of Europe losing in the Ryder Cup. And not even the near certainty of “over partisan” behaviour in the crowd which boils my p**s every Ryder Cup, home and away. No. This week I find out that the guys who electronically collect the shot data on the Eur...

A caddy view on slow play...

'The **** In Front'

Yes. From time to time us caddies do use bad language. And this phrase is one of our favourites. Mainly used to describe someone in the group in front who is slow. Because there are lots of people who play our game very slowly. Some because they think routine is everything. Some because they ar

'The reason you finish your rounds with double bogeys'

My current player is good. So I get to caddy in a lot of pro-ams. And when you get a good group (ie. they don’t take it too seriously, don’t try and outdrive the pro, and don’t try and impress anyone with how much money they have) pro-ams are usually a decent way to spend a Wednesday morning o...

'£1000 fine if you don't rake the bunkers?'

It’s a week off. It’s a Wednesday. So it’s time to actually play golf. But we’ve not even walked onto the first green before it’s clear that the course has sadly been vandalised. Not by the little scrotes from the estate opposite. BUT BY THE MEMBERS. YES. THE MEMBERS. Divots all over the f...

Something simple we do that most amateurs don't do and it's costing them shots

Here's why you have to CLEAN YOUR CLUBS

My player has decided to take next week off. But fortunately every cloud (I now have to spend the week at home with the kids I rarely see and don’t really like) has a silver lining (I get to actually play golf). But without even trying to locate a crystal ball, come next Saturday at 12:22 I can gu

🔢 KNOW YOUR NUMBERS 🔢

On my weeks off I play golf with a mate. He’s a decent enough player. And good fun to play golf with. But the trouble with Dave is that he thinks he carries his 5 iron 203 yards. So he’s always short. Especially into the wind. Where not even a groove-low on the face trap makes the front edge. Wh...

Why caddies deserve a medal...

Whether or not the caddies of the gold, silver and bronze medalists deserve a medal come Sunday night seems to be a topic of some debate this week. You either believe that they’re like the winning cox in the rowing who does get a medal, or that the fact that not one of them actually hit a shot is ...

Pin cut 2 yards from the slope today on 16

Stiff is a push!

17/07/2021

The Par 3 16th at St Georges, proof if ever needed that short holes should be just that, short. As ever with The Open they do it properly, if we pull a shocking club and hit the stands that's a PROPER drop zone! Bunker tucked back left behind today's pin 6 from the side isn't the worst bunker shot IF you get a lie... if someone hits one tight here they probably pulled it! BEAUTIFUL hole that gets us caddies thinking, not sure whether that's a good thing?!
