Oliver first started caddying at Bass Rocks Golf Club, in Gloucester, Massachusetts, when he was 12. (He was born in Gloucester and spent every summer of his childhood there.) So, when he had the chance to film an episode of Caddie Codes about his favorite caddie tips, it seemed fitting to have Bass Rocks as the backdrop. (Plus, the fish chowder in Gloucester is wicked good.)
Meet Your Caddie, Oliver Horovitz
He is a writer, filmmaker, and caddie on the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland. He has written about golf for Sports Illustrated, Golf Digest, Golf World, Billboard. LINKS, Golfweek, and Architectural Digest. He began caddieing in Gloucester, Massachusetts, summers, at age 12, 5'1", and 93 lbs. His first summer, he was paid $20 to carry a 70-lb golf bag containing three sixpacks of beer, but that's another story.
Horovitz is a 2008 graduate of Harvard College. Before attending Harvard, he completed a gap year at the University of St. Andrews, in Scotland. In 2007, he wrote, directed, and produced a documentary called The Caddies of St. Andrews. He divides his time between New York City and St. Andrews, Scotland.
His biggest regret in life is forgetting to tell Huey Lewis about Cheape's Bunker on the 2nd hole of the 2010 Dunhill Pro-Am Championship, causing a double-bogie.
