Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

The good thing about keeping a Yearly Diary is that you can go back to any day and remember where you were, what you did and more little notes that might be worth remember. During my life I have kept 4 years of Diary > 1987, 1998, 2011 and 2016.  So I went back to March 9th 2016 to read > "After 5 months In the UAE, play my last game in Sadyaat Golf with Mr Gh. after 5 holes we need to run away as battered by fierce winds, torrential rain and thunderstorms. Luckly my plane to Zurich was on time". Reading those few lines bring back more memories about that particular day that I would probably have forgotten.

After 6 months touring Europe filling my Yearly Diary 2016, I am back to the UAE. I shall stay between Abu Dhabi and Dubai until March 2017. Should you pass by feel free to contact me I will be happy to show you my Yearly Diary and probably more :-)... 

Until next time #IamCaddiePlayer #IamStéphane #UAESince2006.   

Je suis Caddie - I am a Caddie - #IamACaddie

En 1964, de jeunes garçons de la région travaillent au golf de Crans-sur-Sierre durant leurs vacances scolaires. Porter les sacs de clubs de golf, regarder la balle pour qu'elle ne se perde pas, être poli avec les clients, les tâches du jeune caddie sont nombreuses. Ces enfants font parfois jusqu'à 15 kilomètres de marche par jour pour un salaire journalier de 10 francs. Si certains remettent le fruit de leur labeur à leurs parents, d'autres gardent leurs sous pour s'acheter un équipement de ski, des glaces ou des cours... de tennis !

Rotterdam KLM Open Week

As Raphael Jacquelin last putted for his 66 Sunday round to finish T12 at the Omega European Masters (My Home Town), I took off Crans-Montana at 18h00.

After a 4 hours drive I arrive to Castle/Hotel Chailly - France (CaddiePlayer Home) where I spend the night at room 11. As it was my last day of 2016 in Chailly most of my Monday was packing and meetings with a last hour golf lesson to the CEO Miss Babonnet. After a 30 minutes Taxi to Dijon Train Station I embark to the TGV direction Paris to take the 11PM, 25 euro 6 hours buse to Amesterdam where at 5h00 AM, I took another Train to Rotterdam to check In the local Caddies Hotel Erasmus from where I am now writing.

As we say: all roads lead to Rome. There is several way to reach Caddies and Players of the next Tour event! Overall it took me around 12 hours to reach my destination. During this 12 hours, I saw many things and people. For all these people Sunday/Monday/Tusday have a lots of different meaning.

Where ever you are have a good "Meaning day! :-) #IamCaddiePlayer, #IamStéphaneBarras
