Where did you grow up?
Ayrshire, Scotland, in a wee town called Girvan
Favorite Golf Course
Turnberry (was brought up there) Iconic Open Venue, but it’s also hard to beat the magic of St. Andrews. And Shadow Creek.
Golfing and caddie background:
Got into caddying by failing most of my exams at school. But the reality is despite having many different careers it was always a dream to be a professional caddie on tour. Back In 2015 I got a lucky break as a local caddie during the women’s British open and got asked to do it full time. So I left my corporate job and so it began. A life of Runways & Fairways.
What do you love about caddying?
To watch golfers hit the shots that I can see but could never do. It’s exciting to have a front row seat to watch the best golfers pull off great golf shots under pressure. I love the competition that each week offers. Being part of that is pretty addictive.
Interesting caddie story:
Too many to tell. Most would get me fired! But so many memories of caddie road trips over the years and nights in a new city after a missed cut. All part of this crazy life.
