Do you feel that being from Yorkshire has been a hindrance to your career, and where would you rather have been born? ;)
 
Steve Russell
Bishopton
Renfrewshire.

Do you feel it would be particularly inappropriate and unfair for a caddy to take the lions share of the media attention following a victory at Bridgestone rather than the player?
 
Jonathan Street
Taunton
Somerset

Have you ever given a wrong yardage to a player because they weren't hitting their yardages on a certain day?
 
Who were you more pleased for at winning the Masters - Adam Scott or Steve Williams?!
 
What is your view on caddies being able to use electronic distance measuring devices or laser rangefinders for yardages during competition?

It's been suggested that some of the blame for Rory's recent run of poor form is due to his change of manufacturer. You must have the inside angle on this, how long does it take a player to adjust to new clubs and ball and is it ever a case of they should have stuck with what they had?
Also, how difficult is it for the caddie to adjust to the new gear? It must take a while for you to be able to call the correct club in different conditions as well.

What is the best example of another player cheating you have ever witnessed,and did you or your player report the incident?

Derek Mackay
Coupar Angus
Perthshire
 
Nick Johnson
Nottingham
Nottinghamshire, funnily enough.

Give me one thing every caddy should do well. And what is the most common mistake you see made by new caddies.

How much of a caddy's influence on a player is technical (shot, distance, wind, club, line) etc and how much psychological (security, confidence, decisiveness) etc?
 
Awwww I really want to know his favourite cheese!! ;)

Ok, serious question - when you're back fit, will you be playing any more football?

Also, who's bag will you be on next? will they have a short FUSE.....?

Paul Little
Bushey

What do the caddies think about slow play; and what do you think should be done to speed things up? How close have you come to saying out loud "just bloody hit it"?
 
Robert Ralton
Lanarkshire
Scotland

in this day and age, motorised golf trollies for professional caddies, good idea or not ???
 
David Brown
West Linton
Scottish Borders

Players and commentators often talk about the direction of the grain on the greens, and on Masters Breakfast your yardage book had a red dot marking the location of Rae's Creek to indicate which way the grain would go. How much of a difference does it really make to a putt?
