Caddie & Golfer



The young English golfer David Horsey, who has now joined the main European Tour after winning the order of merit on the European Challenge Tour for 2008, tees off from the 12th tee  on the Old Course at St. Andrews during the summer of 2007, carefully watched by his caddie and fellow player.

This event pictured in 2007 was one of David Horsey's last as an amateur golfer. He went onto represent Great Britain & Ireland against the USA in the Walker Cup later that summer and then turned professional. 
 
2008 proved to be a fantastic year for David with a couple of big wins on the Challenge Tour and a string of top ten finishes ensuring that he finished as the top earning golfer for the year, setting a record earnings on the Challenge Tour. 

He has now played in five of the first European Tour events for the 2009 season, making the cut in them all and securing 17th, 19th and 21st in his last three competitions. David currently sits in 32nd position on the Tour's 'Race to Dubai'.

Caddie Golf hope to be reporting back with good news about David Horsey's progress on the European Tour as the golf season gets going during 2009.

Identifying My Golf Ball

Image
I have over the years seen, in competition golf and fun bounce games, that it is really important to have a clear unique identification on your golf ball. I played in a wee competition a few weeks ago and all three golfers had one red dot marked next to the Titliest brand name! What are the chances? Boyne's identifying mark. After a wee think that evening I decided to go for a four dot two colour combination. The reasoning was that no other golfer is going to be this anal to sit for an hour and put a mark like it on his golf balls. I may need to get a life?!?

Cruden Bay Golf Club

Image
To help entice you avid golfers out there to come over to Scotland for a golf tour this summer I will be posting some pictures of my favourite Scottish golf courses over the next few weeks.  It is going to be a super golf season here in Scotland with the Open Championship returning to Turnberry in July and the majority of our major golf courses having retained last years prices. Added to this the strength of the Dollar against the British Pound, it really has never been a better time for visiting golfers to tour in Scotland. Golf tours are approximately 20% cheaper than last year!  This is the unique Cruden Bay located just north of Aberdeen on the east coast of Scotland. An astonishing links golf course that one will find hard to prepare for in a golfing sense...in fact nothing can prepare you for Cruden Bay! A one off. The view from the clubhouse over the Starters Hut to the magnificent links. It is a truly splendid links golf course with a tremendous location 20 or so miles north of...
