Every golf course has its history.
But in St Andrews, you don’t just read it — you feel it.
It’s in the ground, the wind, and most of all, in the people who walk it every day.

The caddies here aren’t just part of the game.
They are the game.
They know every bump, every hidden slope, and every mood the wind can take.
But more than that — they understand golfers. They know when to give advice and when to say nothing at all.

There’s one man I’ll never forget — he’s been working at the Home of Golf for decades.
When he was young, he caddied for Jack Nicklaus.
Now he’s well into his seventies, still walking the fairways, still smiling.
When I asked him why he never stopped, he just shrugged and said:
“Here, we’re all caddy-happy. Golf is the center of life. People come and go, but the course stays.”

And he’s right. That’s what makes St Andrews different.
It isn’t just about the game itself — it’s about the people who keep it alive.
Caddies are the quiet storytellers of these links. They carry the clubs, but they also carry the memories of this place.

They’ll tell you about the day a player broke down in tears crossing the Swilcan Bridge.
Or the American group that invited every local they met for a whisky after the round.
Or how every morning, no matter the weather, someone still stops to take a breath on the 18th fairway just to look at the town and whisper, “This is it.”

Whether you’re a pro or a first-timer, a caddie will treat you the same way.
He’s not just there to point the line. He’s there to draw you into the rhythm of St Andrews — into that calm, steady heartbeat that runs through this town.

When the round ends, and he shakes your hand with a quiet “Well played, my friend,”
you realize it wasn’t just a game.
It was a piece of history — one that you now belong to.

That’s the real voice of St Andrews.
Not the crowd, not the scorecards, not the trophies.
But the caddie — the man who’s seen it all, and still smiles every morning because, for him, golf is life.
