Madam, - As an Irish expatriate living in Singapore, I look forward to the online version of The Irish Timesevery day. Colin Byrne's "Caddies Role" column is one of the highlights of my week, as it is always a pleasure to read articles from someone so close to the action, written in excellent English and refreshingly free of the usual sports clichés.

His piece last week regarding technology versus good old-fashioned application (and talent) was a breath of fresh air in a game increasingly dominated by gadgetry. - Yours, etc,
