Celebrating and remembering my great caddie pal Coyney and his book 'St Andrews Caddies To The Fore' @WorldGolfMuseum on 12th March ...FORE! #caddies #standrewscaddies #golfcaddies

We received a 13:40 'dark time' on the Old Course this afternoon. Completed the round at 17:35, getting rather dark. Inconsistent off the tee & scrambling for bogeys. Donald & Slidey did well ...Fore! #oldcourse #golfstandrews #golfscotland

The essentials for a trip to St Lucia. It is the tropics!

Hope your day was more productive than mine. At least I pulled off a rare (for me) Friday trifecta. Finished the WSJ Friday & Saturday crosswords plus the Friday NYT.

First round of 2025 on the Old Course with caddie pal Donald. We went out 12:50, a 'dark time' meaning unlikely to finish in daylight. We finished in plenty of light, taking 3hrs 15min. Very cold! I played bogey golf, a couple of pars, only one good birdie opportunity which I missed...Fore!

All St Andrews golf courses open today after 3 days closed due to heavy frost.

All St Andrews golf courses are closed today due to heavy frost. Same as yesterday. It means cancelling the St Andrews Golf Club's '5 Club Trophy' that I was playing in at 10:54 on the Strathtyrum Course.

David Coyne, my great friend and fellow caddie here in St Andrews, meticulously gathered the local caddies lives and their stories for over 30 years. In October his book was published. I am so proud to be involved. #blueskygolf #golf #standrews #standrewscaddies #scotlandgolf caddiestothefore.com

Wishing our loves, friends and golfers a lovely festive Christmas and wonderful New Year filled with joy...Fore!

Wonderful to read that Heather Suttie, book columnist, at Scotland's Sunday Mail newspaper recommends 'St Andrews Caddies To The Fore' as one of the top 10 books for Christmas. A testament to my great friend David Coyne's dedication and hard work...Fore! #standrewscaddies #caddiestothefore #caddies

The New Course in wonderful light and condition today...Fore! #golf #golfstandrews #golfscotland #wintergolf

Golf on the New Course St Andrews today. Frost delay. All courses open at 10:30. We are allocated 11:15 ish. Great company with guests Paul & David over from west coast Scotland. Love winter golf... and New Course in great condition...Fore! #golf #golfstandrews #wintergolf #golfscotland

Although I missed out on Old Course tee time tomorrow with guests, we have the opportunity to golf the exceptional New Course. A wonderful alternative...Fore!

Old Course golf in December. Fantastic! It got very cold. Wrapped up in layers. Managed to finish at 4pm. Felt the frost descending on the Old Links...Fore! #oldcourse #golfstandrews #wintergolf

Old Course at 12:20 with Donald & Graeme. Cold. Great fun...Fore!

Frost inspection on St Andrews golf courses causes upset for early tee times. The courses opened at 11:00 am. We have 12:20 on the Old Course...Fore! #oldcourse #wintergolf #golfstandrews

Benji enjoying a wee walk over the Old Course this afternoon. He has been on holiday with us all week. He returns to my in-laws tomorrow...Fore!

So delighted to have contributed in finishing David Coyne's book 'St Andrews Caddie To The Fore' with his family and designer Chic Harper. David was my dearest friend and fellow caddie here at St Andrews. Over his 30 years caddying he collected the caddies stories, tall and true,

Goodness! A lovely gift from the golfers...Fore!

An unexpected request to caddie on the Old today. I am usually in winter hibernation until March. Lovely golfers from New York, gentlemen played with a few hickories...Fore!

It was rather dark arriving at Old Course 16th green, but having got here decided to continue and play 17th & 18th. Fortunately, I know where I am going and the lights from hotel, housing and street lamps helped...Fore! #oldcourse #wintergolf #golfstandrews #bskygolf
