Mick Morley Caddies at the Senior Masters
Mick Morley a member of our junior committee caddied last week at Woburn in the Travis Perkins Senior Masters.
He was assigned to Cesar Monasterio the most recent winner on the Senior Tour this came as a challenge to Mick who used to be a caddie on the tour.
His Friday group was the current holder Colin Montgomerie which he said was a great day.
Cesar finished T9 which was disappointing after leading the tournament on Friday but still a fantastic success for both Mick and Cesar.
Well done Mick

What is custom fitting?
Everyone's golf swing is different so it makes sense to adjust golf clubs to suit the individual.
Custom fitting is the process for tailoring a golf club to suit your personal swing.
Whatever your level, the aim is to ensure that if you do make a good swing, the club will be square at impact and should produce a straight shot.
Will it fix my slice?
It can help. If you slice the ball it means that the heel of the club is leading into the ball which opens the face of the club.
That may be down to a swing fault, but it could be because the club is too flat. So as part of the custom fitting process you can make the club more upright to help with this.
This will mean that the toe of the club will be slightly off the ground at address to compensate.
What happens during a fitting session?
There are different methods according to golf club manufacturers but ultimately they are all trying to improve your game.
To begin with simple measurements such as wrist-to-floor, height and hand size are taken and will point you to the right sized club and at what angle it should be to the ground.
Then you will take a club and hit some balls. One method is to place impact tape on the bottom of the club and an impact board on the floor.
As you hit the ball the board will leave a mark on the tape showing whether the heel or the toe of the club is striking the floor first.
The resulting mark will show whether the club face needs to be flatter or more upright.
Then things get a bit more advanced. Analysis equipment can measure everything from your club speed to the side spin of the ball so that you can get maximum distance from your shot.
You can also measure the launch angle of the ball, how much backspin you generate and impact efficiency - all which affect distance.
The angle in which the club approaches the ball and the sidespin of it can help fix your game too.
