Occasional Tour Caddy
I know many of us will have taken part in a 'beat the pro nearest the pin' type comp (normally when its one pro against 3 am's) but what do you think of it being televised as part of the actual tour event as it was yesterday at the KLM (& will be again on Saturday)
For those that didn't see, on the short par 3 135m hole various selected club golfers took their turn to try and beat the 3 pro's in each group with the amateur needing to get closer than all 3 pros to win some flights
The pro's seemed to enjoy it without distracting them from the job in hand, the club golfers obviously did (even the ones that duffed their shots) and the watching crowd gave plenty of encouragement too
I thought it was a nice change from the norm and showed in stark reality how a bit of pressure can melt a competent amateurs swing to something resembling liquid fudge such that even cat 1 players were duffing their shots
