The Caddies of St. Andrews

“Tommy preferred the caddies. The renowned caddies of St. Andrews were ‘no’ saints,’ as they gleefully admitted. They were poor, unshaven, often drunk, occasionally insolent. One R&A man called them ‘gentlemen of leisure, who for a consideration will consent to sneer at you for a whole round.’”

Kevin Cook, Tommy’s Honor (2007).
