Slab's Caddy Comp

[kp17]

Looks like it’s been another solid day, hopefully sneaks into top 20

No he doesn't need distances
The players course guide and pin sheet is so detailed he barely has to take half a dozen steps from ball to one of the marks made on the grass
First couple of days (tues/wed) I was able to help with orientation and what is to side/back of greens etc
Their green reading skills are so much better than a club golfer I'd be a waste of time to offer a read of a putt
He does talk through what club he'll use and the shot he playing but he's not seeking my agreement

As each day passes I do know more about which club he'll use off each tee but just as I think I'm getting a handle on his 2nd shot choices he'll come up with a shot / club that just seems inhuman to me

Yup I have hit loads of inhuman shots as a golfer. Usually the next inhuman shot is played with a different ball.

Excellent write up Slab and hopefully he will leave you a few goodies and plasters.

Disappointing day for Eddie pep, not sure if top 10 finish helps him in anyway event/invite wise next year

S, you posted on here when it was 2.47 UK time today. Either you have been out on "The Larry Lash", watching Fury, or extremely conscientious

Sure it is the latter!

Back home, top 20 finish and a couple of demon holes were put to rest today
I intend to write up a bit more on laptop tomorrow when I'm back at the day job

For now though he's reasonably happy with his week and last round of a long year (29 tournaments) and to finish the year on a birdie

For me I was thrilled to walk down 18 on a Sunday afternoon at a European Tour event, not just inside the ropes but taking (a small) part in whats going on. And I do have a real sense of achievement in completing it in one piece

The muscles will ache for a day or two and the blisters will heal in a week but the memories will last for years

Chuffed to bits for you Slab. If he is back next year. What’s chances of being on his bag.

Pretty high since he already asked if I'd be here

Oh and I kept my caddy bib

They're pretty fastidious about collecting them just off 18 green but I just passed by and when the lad followed me to get it he was given a smile and a 'nae chance' and he got the message

Interesting to see all the pros with their Sponsorship hats on in The Clubhouse. Wonder which member would tell them the rules ( if applicable)?

Isit full hog tour bag slab? I’ve often thought they must weigh an absolute ton if they’re packed to the rafters.
Some going that over the shoulder for practice rounds plus 4 day tournament

Not applicable, it's a clubhouse not courtroom

This time it was a stand bag but still well over 15kg , every pocket is rammed
And when you take it off him each day the first thing I do is add another 2kg of water to it

What stuff does he have in the bag?

We forget but the hat thing is largely a UK think. The rest of the world doesn't care.
