Neil’s Caddie Story

 

In 2006, aged 41, Neil suffered a significant stroke. To help with his recovery, Neil started caddying at his local golf club, North Berwick West.

Since then, Neil has caddied for doctors, lawyers, judges, pilots, venture capitalists, millionaires, billionaires, sports champions, bankers, truck drivers, politicians, entrepreneurs, investment managers, professors, senators, estate agents, brokers, and CEOs.

There have been fathers, grandfathers, wives, sons and daughters; those for whom a trip to Scotland to play golf is small change, and others for whom it was the trip of a lifetime.

Download some press articles documenting Neil’s turn to caddying, and the book that followed.
