Reviewers heap praise on Scotland’s Caddies
Scotland’s Caddies has proved a huge hit among the media. Fairways+Greens Magazine editor Vic Williams, one of America’s most respected golf writers, called it “the best 69 minutes you’ll ever spend watching anything to do with our favorite game,” while popular tour pro and TV commentator Peter Jacobsen said, “It makes me want to jump on a plane for Glasgow right now.”
Others applauding Scotland’s Caddies include George Peper, co-author of True Links and editor of Links Magazine; Tim Murphy of Golf World; Jason Scott Deegan of WorldGolf.com; widely published freelance writers Tony Dear and Larry Olmsted; and Tony Korologos of the blog HookedOnGolf.com.
Reviewers praise the film’s entertainment value and the passion Colby invested in the project. After releasing his award-winning documentary Pirate for the Sea, the director spent four weeks shooting interviews with thick-brogued caddies at the Old Course in St. Andrews, Turnberry, Prestwick, Royal Troon, Royal Dornoch, Royal Aberdeen, Gleneagles, Brora, Kingsbarns and the Machrihanish.
Scotland’s Caddies is by turns humorous, insightful, whimsical and poignant. Highlights include:
- Amusing anecdotes from career caddies like Jimmy Kelly (Gleneagles) and William Cowan (Prestwick), who share some of their stories over pints in local pubs.
- First-person tales of celebrity golfers including Michael Jordan, Sean Connery and Jack Lemmon, as well as former Presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush.
- The caddies’ priceless takes on the tipping habits and personalities of golfers from different parts of America and the world.
- History lessons from Ronnie MacAskill, Director of Golf at Royal Aberdeen, and David Joy, star of a one-man show about Old Tom Morris.
- Stunning visuals of golf’s most beloved layouts, including the Old Course at St. Andrews, Royal Dornoch, Kingsbarns and Machrihanish Golf Club.
