Glad you found it, I have posted it here about 30 times at least, and this has to be the greatest and funniest comedy routine of all time. When I first saw it, I was on the floor, holding my ribs.
Having played St Andrews and knowing how they are over there, its so damn true.
Question: In golf, from where did the term 'Caddie' come?
Answer: When Mary, later known AS Queen of Scots, went to France as a young girl (for education and survival), Louis, King of France , learned that she loved the Scot game 'golf.' So he had the first golf course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly chaperoned (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked this a lot and when she returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the long run), she took the practice with her. In French, the word cadet is pronounced 'ca-day' and the Scots changed it into 'caddie.'
