Golf-Ex-Miss World hopeful swaps catwalk for caddying (Reuters)

LONDON, April 30 (Reuters) - Former Miss World contestant Ingrid Martens has swapped the catwalk and high heels for knee-high rough and unflattering golf shoes as a Ladies European Tour caddie but the Norwegian would not have it any other way.

There is precious little time for painted nails and lip gloss when she trudges across the fairways of the world carrying the heavy bag belonging to her daughter, 28-year-old Caroline.

"There's no mother-daughter relationship when we are out on the course," 49-year-old Ingrid told Reuters in an interview at the tour's Buckinghamshire Golf Club headquarters on the outskirts of London.
