St. Rule Trophy: St. Andrews



A wonderful weekend of golf lies ahead of your St. Andrews caddie. The first of the premier annual amateur competitions begins this Saturday with the St. Rule Trophy.  This is played by the leading lady amateur golfers from across Great Britain, Europe and the rest of the world that have a handicap of 4 or better.

In this years event I shall be caddying for one of Scotland's bright young talents, Laura Murray. We met in this very event in 2007, when I was caddying for the British Ladies Amateur Champion, Heather MacRae, Laura played in our grouping and then was once again in our trio of players for the 2008 tournament, both times with her father carrying her bag.

I met Laura in earlier this year, in March, at the Scottish Golf Show  and it was there that she asked if I would be interested in working for her during the St. Rule Trophy. I truly jumped at the chance. The opportunity to work with one these great young Scottish golfers cannot be turned down and it always adds interest, to watch their progress over the forthcoming years, as they try to break through into the professional ranks.

Our main practice round will be over the New Course, St. Andrews, on Friday 29th May, the course we will play our first round upon, late Saturday morning. This is a strokeplay event and Sunday will see us play two rounds of golf over the Old Course at St. Andrews with the best aggregate score of the three rounds wining the tournament. 

It is going to be an absolutely delightful weekend at St. Andrews with warm sunshine and light winds from the south. This should make for some low scoring over these venerable links golf courses. Hopefuly perfect conditions for Laura and I to do some serious damage!
