The Old Course Caddie Tips

Few golfers consider their education complete until they have played over the Old Course at St. Andrews - the oldest golf course in the world.

It is seldom the Old Course can be played on two successive days in the same way. The strength and direction of the wind have much to do with the manner in which the holes are to be negotiated and Caddie Tips is intended to assist the average player to avoid the many traps on the Old Course that have ruined the scores of the famous and not so famous golfers in their first encounter with it.

I would highly recommend the hiring of a Caddie before setting foot on the first tee but before then here is some advice to keep in mind.

Caddie Tips on the Old Course:

Out: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th

In: 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th

Further tips on selected holes of the Old Course will be added as the season progresses.
