Chris McBride has been caddying around the links of Scotland for 51 years. 36 of those years have been spent on the historic fairways of Prestwick Golf Club with a bag over his shoulder. He began his career looping at just 13 years of age. His friends would go picking tatties (potatoes) in the near by fields, while Chris would head off to Turnberry to carry clubs to earn his pocket money.
The Last Caddie is a story of one man's life devotion to the game and the people who play it.

Had the pleasure of a round with Chris as caddy at Prestwick. Incredible character and made the round the most memorable I've ever had

@MrZuidafrika

Played yesterday at Prestwick. I was a single grouped with another guy who hired Chris. Chris was extremely funny, kind, and offered wonderful advice on each hole and shot. He has stories for years, not just a single day! Just an incredible human!

We had the good fortune to stay across the road from Prestwick in 1986 during The Open. Stayed with the most beautiful couple, Woods and Florence, will never forget them. The staff in the pro shop treated us like members and allowed us to play the course on numerous occasions as well as use the practice fairway. We spent two months travelling around the UK playing all the top courses and to this day the place that holds a special place in our hearts is Prestwick. Chris typifies the character of the people in the area. A beautiful man! Thanks for creating such a wonderful tribute to Chris and to Prestwick. All the best from a very appreciative Aussie!👏👏👏👏👏

1 year ago today, I spent 4hrs walking around Prestwick with this guy. Hit a few balls too. Incredible experience… memories of him and the course are awesome.

Had one of the most memorable rounds of my life with Chris. He carried my wee bag of hickories while guiding me expertly around the wonderful Prestwick Links. HIs stories and one liners were illuminating & funny as heck. I even made my first & likely last eagle with hickories on #12 and finished with a birdie. Magical day with the great man.

Played a round with Chris at Prestwick September 2023. A bucket list round with a birdie on 18 to shoot 79 … that hole and the first hole are the only two holes I really remember of the round The rest and the best memories were having Chris guide me through the golf history in was walking along side this gentleman. Hope to see you again someday Chris. Thank You!!

What a gent. I wonder, will we ever have his like again, as the world changes. We will be the poorer, if we do not.

@Chazthefurr

That was a superb little film. What a fine man he is. I wish him many years of good health & happiness. He'll probably retire when he's 90.

@charlies5266

if all humans were more like this man the world would be a wonderful place

Epic short film! Over 50 years caddying, some man and what an achievement. I caddy over at St Andrews and this gave me a sense of pride in what I do. Great work, keep the films coming!
