A Perspective From Ross Fisher's Caddie

Remaining Optimistic

I concluded my last blog by suggesting that success was on the horizon, sadly that’s not yet been the case, but in the world of professional sport you have to remain optimistic. So our recent travels began back in early October up in Scotland at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Continue Reading »

Approaching in Good Form

Since my last blog I'm glad to inform you that Ross' son Harry has made a full recovery from the virus he picked up in Ireland. The only repercussion being Ross' withdrawal from the WGC at Firestone, which was unfortunate, but unavoidable. At least it enabled me the opportunity to hang-out down in Orlando and get accustomed to the sweltering heat that plagues the East coast at this time of year. Ross elected to join me on the Saturday prior to the US PGA Championship for a day’s solid practice at Lake Nona and also the chance to acclimatize. Continue Reading »

Back to Business

I write my latest blog onboard a British Airways flight bound for the US, yes we have just spent the obligatory one hour sitting on the tarmac, and no, I'm not getting pampered in a business class seat!

I'm hoping my travels are worthwhile, as unfortunately Ross' son Harry is a little under the weather, so much so, the poor fella's had to remain in Ireland. So as of now, Ross' participation in the next two events depends (understandably) on the health of his baby boy. I'm praying he makes a speedy recovery, enabling us to play in both the WGC at Firestone and the USPGA Championship. One thing's for sure; that family comes before golf. Continue Reading »

Friends Reunited

Firstly, may I say what a pleasure it is to be back writing my 'tour blog' for Genworth, I've truly missed putting pen to paper, it's great to be back working with you guys.

A long-term player/caddie relationship is not to dissimilar to a marriage! Our marriage has just undergone a nine month trial separation, which has done us both the world of good. Overfamiliarity was the main reason for our break up, five years together took it's toll, hence our parting after last year's British Open. Initially there was some ill feeling between us, but thankfully, we remained good friends and now we're back working together. Admittedly, it feels a little strange, but we both know it's a formula for success. Continue Reading »
