“Caddying allows you to have a new experience at work every day. I’ve met some really interesting people, with great stories to share; some have even past on valuable advice and connections. It teaches you to adapt to unfamiliar situations, as you never quite know what you’ll get out on the course... it really gets you thinking on your feet! The relationships you build up with your player are crucial to the enjoyment of their day, and I’ve learned that good communication is vital."

BRAD: "I think for someone of my age and even older it’s certainly one of the best jobs you could have. Meeting new people every day and increasing my network of contacts for the future. I truly believe without this job I wouldn’t have the opportunities approaching me. It seriously strengthens my ability to work around different people. This year has been a fantastic year for me."

GREGOR: "I have developed my interpersonal and relationship building skills, while also being able to gain vital connections to widen my contact network in the golf industry. It has also instilled a sense of discipline in me with being on time every day and having to interact with many different personalities."
CRAIG JACKMAN
Elmwood College
"The highlight of my time at Kingsbarns was getting to caddie for Gerry McIlroy in the Dunhill Links Championship and being in the side-by-side company of the world’s number one golfer was a priceless experience.
Rory spoke to me about his views on the game and what life is like in the public eye. I found him to be really down to earth and Gerry was a gentleman. To walk the fairways and share a few hours with them was unforgettable. Just a dream come true"
