Sean, who starts his new role in March, said: “I am delighted to take up the post as caddie master at such a special place as Kingsbarns Golf Links. Having been a member of the caddie team for the last seven years it is my desire to build upon the good work done here previously and to take the caddie programme to an even higher level.

"Golfers visiting Kingsbarns are fully entitled to expect outstanding service from caddies and it is my job to ensure that we not only meet these expectations but go the extra mile to exceed them.”

Alan Hogg, the Chief Executive of Kingsbarns Golf Links, said he is delighted with the new appointment. “Sean will be a brilliant addition to our team and I am looking forward to working with him to develop our caddie programme even further. He comes with a wealth of experience which I am sure will be of great benefit to Kingsbarns in the years to come.”

COMMENT FROM BANCHORY'S JAMES BYRNE, playing on the Asian Tour;


Great news about Sean Wiseman being promoted to Caddie Master at Kingsbarns. Sean caddied for me a couple years ago when I almost qualified for The Open and again at Walker Cup practice last year. He's a top caddie and will undoubtedly be a success in his new role. I wish him all the best.
