Caddie Golf Tours

My Old Course St Andrews Caddie round yesterday was 4hrs 55min...in atrocious 25mph+ wind conditions though I do not believe that can be used as an excuse...today's round, in slightly less wind, was 3hrs 30min! Goodness, this is how it should be all the time admittedly we were a 3Ball, we teed off at 09.10am and there were lots of local St. Andrean golfers in front so pace of play was always going to be good but why 5hrs yesterday!

Early start tomorrow morning with the St. Andrews Caddie Master requesting that I be at the Caddie Pavilion by 7.00am.

Some rain to arrive but goodness that 25 mph North Easterly wind is going to hurt!

There are x14 afternoon tee times available for those avid golfers who are in the vicinity of the Old Course, St. Andrews, on Thursday 26th April. Goodness, those from overseas could get a quick flight tomorrow morning, transfer to St. Andrews, have a few beers, a good nights sleep, hit the range to get acclimatised and play the greatest golf course in the World. What is there to think about?!? Remember Caddie Golf Tours are here to assist with advice, tee times, transfers and accommodation. Do not be  afraid to ask!

The first "Double Round" of my golf season over the Old Course, St Andrews, completed today at 20.00pm. I went out on my 1st round at 12.20pm and walked off the 18th at 16.25pm and was then driven out to the 5th green to catch up with three golfers, taking some of the strain of my old Caddie buddy Charlie who was looking after all of them.

The wonderful Vikings, led by Christer who has been coming over to St. Andrews for 14 years from Sweden, played a grand golf match against the Celts, otherwise known as the St Andrews Caddies, last Saturday on the Torrance Course at the Fairmont Hotel. The match was played in a marvelous spirit and weather conditions remained good throughout with the Celts coming out on top 9.5 to 4.5 in the head to head matches. Good friendships were forged and cemented over a glass or two in the Clubhouse bar and then in the ever accommodating Dunvegan Bar in St Andrews.

My golfers have been rather fortunate weather wise over the last couple of days on the Old Course, St. Andrews. We have missed the early morning downpours and late afternoon showers. Yesterday I had completed my round by 2.30pm and after a spot of lunch thought I would like a wee knock around the Old Course myself, rather than Range Practice, and after a chat with the Starter I pop onto the 1st tee ...

A marvelous resume of the the golf that was on display at this years Masters from "Hooked On Golf".  The 2012 Masters was truly a wonderful tournament that will live long in the memory, congratulations to Bubba Watson for some incredible golf shots & escapes! I look forward to next year and the "new breed" of golfers that are coming to prominence once again battling each other on this stunning stage that is...Augusta, Georgia. http://www.hookedongolfblog.com/2012/04/09/2012-masters-comments

Access to the internet has been a wee bit erratic over the last week or so, hopefully things will improve this week. Now based in St. Andrews for the Caddie Season and will be looking to keep those interested in the Home of Golf with up-to-date with information about the golf courses, events, tours and the fun nonsense revolving around Caddie Golf Tours. Cheers, John.
