Slab's Caddy Comp

Edit to say make that a double rammel from Mr Brown

After being with titleist for years he's currently with cobra for his clubs so I'll save my cobra cap for Sunday (go team)

Schoolboy error.

If he is Titleist/Cobra, what you do is turn up in a Callaway/Taylor Made/Srixon/ Ping hat so they have to go and find you a brand new on-brand one.
Thank me later

That dinky little Par 3 is the hardest hole on the course!

 

[Slab]

Back home, a bit gutted with +1 but he's still 22nd place at 3 under and the shots that cost the bogey/ double on 14/15 won't happen tomorrow

The run of three birdies on front 9 was vanilla to be a tiny part of

A top 5 is out now I think but no reason he can't climb a few places tomorrow to get some more points towards keeping his card for 2026

Pace was lightening to start, 12 holes done in 2 1/2 hrs then we waited...to end with a 4 hr round

I'm doing my best to stand in line with tv cameras but no idea if they're running for his shots

Three ball 2 tee start tomorrow so hopefully he's high enough to start on 1st tee

I don't know why I always thought Pros took their caddie with them to every tournament. Guess it would cost a fortune and they can't afford it at the lower end, so end up hiring themselves an Alan.

There's pros and pros

The top top guys bring their own
But out of 150 players about 35 needed local Caddies for whatever reason, mostly financial but also sometimes just circumstances

Because of the time of year and location I can see several WAGs doing caddy duty this week too

Hi Slab, out of interest, if it is not visibly damaged, how often does he change his ball?

He's only changed it about once per round
I get the provisional ball on 1st tee and keep that separate in case it's needed

Watched most of it today and don't recall seeing a single from your man......

To add to this
All the players that are signed to titleist get 3 dozen pro v's at each tournament (and some gloves)
Whether it's habit, process or superstition there's particular numbers oliver won't use in tournament so he's already gifted me the 9 number 3's

Doesn't like the 3, as in "3 putt!"

Must be odd numbers, he doesn't play a 5 either
All three days we've use Nos 4 & 8 in tournament

Tee times are out for two tee start and we're in top half so off the 1st

Very happy with that so we finish in front of the main stand

Great write up again. Well done, enjoy tomorrow and hope you receive a good pay day!.

Just make sure you mention The GM Forum lads when interviewed!

All the very best and thanks for the daily write ups.

Really enjoying your views from inside the ropes this week @Slab

We're cheering for Eddie this week, this the other eye on your guy. Speaking to travel agent, I think we need to be going there!
