Welcome Alan McArthur to The Caddy Collective | Austin Golf Courses Coming Soon
At CaddyTips®, we've always believed the best golf advice comes from the people who walk the course nearly every day. That's exactly why we created The Caddy Collective—a growing team of professional caddies from around the world who are dedicated to sharing the local knowledge, strategy, and insights that help golfers play smarter.
Today, we're excited to welcome our newest member...
Meet Alan McArthur – "CaddieAlanMc"
Known throughout the golf community as CaddieAlanMc, Alan McArthur is a professional caddie based in Austin, Texas, where he spends his days helping golfers navigate some of Central Texas' premier private clubs. After thousands of loops, Alan has developed an exceptional understanding of course management, green reading, and the countless little decisions that separate good rounds from great ones.
Alan is also a scratch golfer, entrepreneur, and the creator of Wind Caddie, an innovative training aid designed to help golfers better visualize and understand wind conditions. Off the course, he's the founder of a successful pool service company—proof that attention to detail and exceptional service extend well beyond the golf course.
A True Caddie's Perspective
What immediately stood out about Alan wasn't just his résumé—it was his philosophy.
He understands that caddying isn't about telling golfers what club to hit.
It's about helping them see the golf course differently.
Sometimes that's reading a subtle grain change on a green.
Sometimes it's identifying the proper side of a fairway.
Sometimes it's knowing exactly when to offer advice—and when to simply let the player trust their instincts.
As Alan puts it:
"A good caddie isn't there to play the game for you—he's there to help you play your best game."
That philosophy perfectly aligns with everything we believe at CaddyTips.
Austin Golf Courses Are Coming Soon
Adding Alan to The Caddy Collective means one thing for golfers:
Austin is coming to CaddyTips.
Over the coming months, Alan will be helping us build Playing Guides for many of Austin's most talked-about golf courses, bringing the same local knowledge and strategic insights we've become known for.
Austin has quietly become one of America's premier golf destinations, offering an incredible variety of golf experiences. From the laid-back atmosphere of Willie's Backyard, to the exclusive experience at Loraloma Golf Club, to the iconic Butler Pitch & Putt, and outstanding public golf like Falconhead Golf Club, there's a course for every golfer and every style of play.
Alan has spent years walking these fairways, learning where golfers gain strokes—and where they give them away.
Now he'll be sharing that knowledge with the entire CaddyTips community.
Growing the Caddy Collective
The Caddy Collective was built on a simple idea:
The world's best golf advice shouldn't stay inside the ropes.
Every caddy brings something unique to the table—different courses, different conditions, different experiences, and different ways of helping golfers think their way around the course.
By bringing together professional caddies from across the country, we're building a library of local knowledge that simply can't be replicated from satellite imagery or yardage books.
Because nobody knows a golf course better than the person who walks it as such as these guys do.
Welcome Aboard, Alan!
We're thrilled to have Alan join The Caddy Collective and can't wait to share his course knowledge, stories from inside the ropes, and strategic insights with golfers everywhere.
If you're planning a golf trip to Austin—or simply want to learn how a veteran caddy thinks his way around a golf course—you won't want to miss what's coming next.
Austin Playing Guides are coming soon.
And thanks to CaddieAlanMc, you'll be ready to play every course like you've seen it before.
