Colin Byrne’s golf guide puts a top caddy in your pocket

As caddie to elite professionals including Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, Colin Byrne has been at the pinnacle of golf. Now the Irishman wants us all to benefit from his experience.

Byrne and friend Karl McCullagh have co-written The Little White Ball, a small but perfectly formed guide to strategy, aimed at maximising potential in amateur golfers.

Produced at a size which can be comfortably taken out onto the course during a round and concise enough to be absorbed quickly and effectively, as all the best sporting lessons are learned, Byrne is passing on the sort of advice that helped Goosen win the US Open at Shinnecock Hills in 2004 and guided Irish rookie Gavin Moynihan to the biggest cheque of his fledgling pro career at the Irish Open in May.
