A SCOTS caddie has been spared after sending X-rated photos and messages to a 14-year-old girl he met during TRNSMT.
Daniel Mulvey, who caddied at The Open and several big international events, has previously rubbed shoulders with big golfing names such as Gary Player and Padraig Harrington.

He also posted pictures on social media posing alongside US President Donald Trump.
But the 35-year-old, from Seamill, West Kilbride, was given unpaid work after sending a schoolgirl explicit texts and pictures of a man carrying out a sex act.
He met the teen in Glasgow city centre after that day’s TRNSMT festival in July 2023.
He then started messaging her on Snapchat.
It’s understood that Mulvey told the girl he was 24 when she asked him over messages.
And she was horrified to find out that he was actually 33 at the time – 19 years older than her.
He pleaded guilty to the conduct at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a hearing in April.
After the teen’s family found out about the messages, they recorded the footage Mulvey sent and took it to the cops.
A relative said: “We were disgusted at what we were seeing and even more so when we saw how old the guy was.
“He is just a vile predator and people need to be warned about him.”

The teen’s relative said they were furious at how Mulvey carried on sending sleazy messages after being told she was 14.
And said Mulvey’s response to being told her age was: “Can I trust you?”
The family member added that Mulvey had the chance to stop the conversation when he found out her age.
They said: “He didn’t back off. He upped the stakes and started asking horrific questions about her sexual experience.

“He said he didn’t care how old she was. And then he asked if he could trust her, which is appalling because it’s just grooming talk.
“He went on to send a video, where he appears to abuse himself.
“He deserves to go to straight to jail and he should never work in such a high profile job again.”
Mulvey pleaded guilty to sending sexual messages to the teen and making reference to engaging in sexual activity with her, between July 8 and July 9 in 2023.
