10 Scary things about being a caddy on the Trilby Tour

Today I asked Gareth if he had any thoughts he could put into writing about taking part in the Trilby Tour at St Pierre as my caddie last Thursday and this brilliant little gem is what he came up with!

10 scary things about being a caddy on the Trilby tour (in no particular order)

·         Wearing a boiler suit when your 17 stone on a boiling hot day and wondering if you will melt into a puddle

·         Getting stitched up by a millionaire tailor into betting £10 on a Welsh winner when only about 3 welsh guys played-pride always comes before a fall

·         Watching your man hit the best opening tee shot of the day….and following it by pulling a short iron 50 yards left of target

·         Continuing the theme in getting a random over the top pull from nowhere every 5th shot?????????

·         Playing your second on the par5 14th from a bunker 40 yards in front of you and 40 yards left behind trees on a down slope…and being asked a yardage

·         Being asked the same question on the same hole from the next shot 50 yards closer but 30 yards even further left…now hitting over trees, bunkers , the 12th green (full of players) and a dozen loitering marshalls

·         Watching the other 2 golfers in the group also implode and trying not to have the giggles

·         Watching your wife try to scrounge the Trilby from Johnny (2nd golfer in the group)…….without success

·         Sitting next to William Hunt discussing the merits of James Voce (world Trilby Champ) without asking for my £10 back

·         Scariest of all….being delighted if I was asked again to bag carry for another stint.

Thanks again Gareth! Ledge!
