Been fortunate to have some amazing experiences in this job, but caddying for Laurie Canter in India was up there with the very best. Visa issues, storms, 4am starts, vomiting, broken bibs, shame, glory, and peacocks. We had it all. What a wild ride. thetimes.com/sport/golf/arti…

Carrying bag for Laurie ‘The Kettle’ Canter at the $4m DP World Tour event in India shows our correspondent Tom Kershaw the reality of life as a ‘rat’
