Paul began cadding at the age 12, at Rochdale Golf Club in , primarily as a weekend and summer holiday job to earn some spending money. Paul's talent as a singer soon took priority in his late teens, and the caddying would have to wait to re-emerge some years later when he was accompaning his cousin at a professional tournament.
One of the professionals had been let down by his caddie not showing for the events, and Paul was asked if he could accomodate the young professional. Paul informed the professional that he hadn't caddied for some time, but was willing to help. After the round the professional commented on how impressed he was with his ability as a caddie and asked ''when was the last time you caddied'', paul replied ''twelve years ago'', that's where it all took off, the following year he was standing on the 18th green at royal Lytham St Annes, on the final round of the Open with the top two professionals in the field, Gary Player and Peter Oosterhuis.
