Caddie Golf Tours

The St Andrews Caddies annual golf match against our Swedish Vikings was held at the the truly wonderful Kingsbarns Golf Links for the 7th year. This great modern day Scottish links golf course played host to the 2017 Ricoh British Women's Open and is one of the venues for the European Tour Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. We are forever grateful to Kingsbarns Golf Links for allowing this match to be held here. The St Andrews Caddies were expecting a hard fought match this year and so it was with the last of the 8 head to head matches deciding the outcome. Those last 2 games produced a win for each side which resulted in a halved competition 3 1/2 > 3 1/2. A wonderful set of 8 match play games, that all competitors enjoyed, on one of Scotland's premier golf links in warm Spring sunshine. Friendships are rekindled every year when our Vikings arrive for their week of golf in and around St Andrews and this annual match is a joy to be involved with. Already both ...

With unpredictable weather yesterday and having golfed the Eden Course St Andrews on Good Friday with our Easter weekend guests we decided to take a day out and visit the Kingsbarns Distillery , located 1/2 mile outside our village of Kingsbarns. I have been several times to the Kingsbarns Whisky Distillery, naturally, it was founded by a fellow caddie and now friend Doug Clement and it was truly wonderful witnessing his dream project of bringing a whisky distillery to Fife come to reality. The first bottles of Kingsbarns Malt Whisky will be available in mid 2018 and in the meantime the gift shop offers a wide selection of Wemyss malt whisky's and their speciality gins. The Wemyss family links to the whisky industry go back to the 1800s and in Scotland they have been a prominent family since the 1500s. They have joined with Doug to produce and promote Kingsbarns Malt Whisky. Our guests enjoyed their wee visit to the Distillery and we certainly look forward to many m...
