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:

“You don’t even have to play golf to enjoy Scotland’s Caddies. You just have to sit back and sip their wisdom like you would a fine 20-year-old Scotch — then pray for the day when you can sit down with them in the flesh and keep the sips, and quips, coming.” - Vic Williams, Fairways+Greens Magazine
