Plea goes out for volunteer caddies at Glasgow Gailes' Palmer Cup
A FEW volunteer caddies are still required for the Palmer Cup at Glasgow Gailes Golf Club from Tuesday to Friday June 24 to 27.
The event is a prestigious international match between the top collegiate golfers representing the United States and Europe, in a similar format to the Ryder Cup.
The event was last staged in Britain in 2006 at Prestwick Golf Club when Europe were winners.
A total of 16 young volunteer caddies will be required with each being drawn to accompany one of the players.
Previous participants have included Open champion Ben Curtis, US Amateur winner Ritchie Ramsay, as well as Europen tour players including Luke Donald, Alahandro Canizares, Joost Luiten and Pablo Martin.
Applicants will ideally be between 15 and 18 years of age and be enthusiastic golfers of a fairly good standard (category 1 or 2).
