Over the last couple of months of this horrendous Coronavirus Covid-19 and its sudden impact on the world, and in our case golf in particular, Caddie Golf Tours have been in constant communication with our golfers, home and overseas, about the various scenarios this will have on their 2020 Scotland Golf Tours. Carnoustie Championship 18th With the British government placing the whole country in a 'lockdown' on 24th March, the most disruptive for all would be to cancel and return money deposited or even fully paid. All terms and conditions about cancellation fees written into our contracts have been revisited and revised due to the horrendous nature of this virus. Kingsbarns Golf Links 12th tee The overriding thought has been to reschedule the golf tours to a later date. The difficulty doing it for later this year in 2020, is no one knows when the 'lockdown' will be lifted, our golf courses and accommodation opened and even if international travel would be...

A few images from the Old Course St Andrews when it was played in the 'reverse' route at the end of November 2019. The Old Course awoke to a frosty day and a delayed start to the 'Shotgun' start from the R&A cannon! The golfers began at 11:00 am, a few hours later than the original 08:40 start. The 1st hole on the reverse route is the 17th 'Road' hole as we know it now in the modern era. It was rather odd to see the white flag fly on the 17th green and then to move onto the 2nd hole, which is the normal 16th, and a white pin but it soon became acceptable to see the white flags and red flags fly...strangely. The above photographs show the iconic 1st green with a back nine 'red' flag signifying that it is the 17th on this reverse routing of the Old Course. The final 18th green remains the same on the Old Course reverse course but, even with a delayed start, the hard overnight frost refused to lift from this famous green and t...

When out on the Old Course St Andrews last week we witnessed alterations being made to the tee on the Par 3 8th, named 'Short'. This plays 166 yards from our St Andrews competition tee and 154 yards from the standard visitor tee. Over the last 30 years or so the 8th has been played at 175 yards during the Open Championship and it will be interesting to see the finished tee position and whether they use it during next years Old Course 2018 British Seniors event?

While golfing the Old Course St Andrews yesterday I landed my drive from the 18th tee onto the road that bisects the fairway at 250 yards. It is now commonly known as 'Granny Clark's Wynd' but during the 19th Century, and before, it was always called the Shore Road. The local rule on the Old Course offers no relief and the ball must be played from where it lies. So I did. Using my 9 iron I picked it clean and knocked it onto the centre of the green 120 yards up the wee hill. I produce 2 putts and par was secured...Fore! Always great fun to golf the Old Course with the occasional unexpected golf shots that present themselves...Fore!
