As none of my current CaddiePlayers qualify for the British Open, I decided to take a week off to Scotland Arran Island located across the sea from the Scottish Open Dundonlad course where I am back this week for the Ladies Scottish Open.
Arran Island landscape/nature is so far the best “No-man’s-land Friendly” I have experience in my World Travelling and I can only advice any CaddiePlayer or anyone else looking for an inspiration/retreat to have a 7 days Trekking/Biking/Hanging to experiment, the local Shepherd, the 2’50 £ 27 holes putting green, the Red Deer walk way golf course, the Gold Whiskey tasting, the Band Parade “BagPipe” in Castle LochRanza, the unique Catacol Trees next to the 12 Apostles, and much much more all to be seen on my Instagram/Tweeter and Facebook.
On top of that I was lucky to placed 250/1 Li Hao Tong Betfair odds and watch, near by the “La Belle au Bois Dormant” Cottage, the most bizarre 13-hole bogey in Golf History followed by “Phenomenalesque” birdie, eagle, birdie, biride to Earn Jordan Spieth his second Claret Jug!

I have just ended my two weeks #RolexSeries (Irish and Scottish) sharing rooms/diner/travel with "Ronnie" Veteran Caddie on the European Tour.

and understand that 1+1 can make 3*!"

The top priority when you travel on Tour as a Caddie or Coach is to find the accomodation that match your needs > close to the course, affordable and friendly! So next time you are on your way to Portstewart Golf Club or Dundnoald Links in Irvine I can only recommand you to stay where we stay and I am sure Ken the owner of the Thrones Lodge or Nicolas from the AnnefieldHouse will welcome you with their big smile!
Other than that what I can remember from our two weeks is the MissCuts of Rory, the sudden Rise of the Frenchies > (Hebert and Quesne co-Leading at the Irish and Havret, Pavon, Levy and Wattel shooting 66 during the Scottish) and at last the Spanish domination with Rahm and Cabrera-Bello winning in style.
Until next time, Stéphane CaddiePlayerOnTour
Travelling with Ronnie is always a +3 adventure!

Caddies on Tour Blog by Chris Hanson friend of CaddiePlayer
.... "This week I was staying just out of town in a hotel recommended by the caddies. It’s quite a refreshing change staying where the caddies stay and normally nice and cheap. I would say I have a good balance with what I do, sometimes in the players’ hotel, sometimes on my own, and whenever possible with the family.
But it’s great to go out with the caddies – you hear some fantastic stories about some of the game’s greats, some hilarious stories about their own journeys around the world, but also you hear their perspective on the game and what they think of many players from a caddie’s point of view. Who’s disliked, who to avoid, who pays good, who pays bad, who they think are great players etc etc….
Like my coach Mark talks about, caddies also see things with ‘hindsight’…and they don’t have the emotion attached to shots that players have…if they don’t know the player well they just see the shot as the shot.
“It’s 158 yards, hit it at that tree” – simple…or so it should be but as players you are wired slightly differently and see danger in a different light to them. Finding a good caddie is tough (don’t worry Steve, you’re in the good bracket) and some players really struggle. It’s very easy for a caddie to get the blame and normally they are the first one to get the bullet.
I know one player who has had at least 10 caddies this year; that can’t be good for your game but maybe he’s looking for that ‘super caddie’ to transform his game. Caddies lose jobs every week, and there seem to be little milestones throughout the year when there is a big shuffle, such as around Wentworth, and definitely in the next few weeks before the big money Rolex events start. Nobody wants to miss out on playing these events and of course that’s understandable, but I’m sure there will be texts flying around all over the place offering their caddie services to certain players.
Caddies are a huge part of the Tour, they are mandatory, they aren’t allowed to use trolleys (bag weighs 20/30kg), and from a player’s perspective they make life a lot easier, though some would disagree I’m sure!!
My only gripe for them is that sometimes they seem to be ‘mistreated’ or don’t get enough respect for what they bring to the tournament – like I said, they are mandatory and a key part of the event each week. Players ALWAYS get full hospitality, food, drinks, comfort all week, it’s fantastic…but for caddies this sometimes is a privilege, some weeks they get nothing or just food on tournament days. I know this is down to the sponsors/promotors, as it’s an expense for them, but if something was to change I think it would be great for them to get the same privileges as the players, families, managers etc..."
