Ups, downs for Vijay's caddie
Could you caddie for Vijay Singh? The upside: Fly on a private jet; earn over $500,000 a year; and this year, in four weeks, you'd get a check for a cool $1 million. I wonder if Vijay Singh is going to walk around East Lake with the $9 million in his golf bag, because he's going to have it wrapped up by then (and the PGA TOUR sings with Britney Spears, ("Oops We Did It Again"). And if he does, he won't actually be carrying it; you will. The downside: You no longer have a family; you may tell people you have a wife and kids at home, but they don't get to see you. And I am not being funny or vague. Don't bother bringing them out on the road because they can't talk to you while you're at the golf course. And when daddy gets home (to the hotel), he's exhausted from carrying that 40-pound bag around for six hours. When you hear Vijay is taking a week off, you better know that it's just from tournaments, not from work. You're working that week in Ponte Vedra Beach at TPC Sawgrass, at least eight hours a day, at least five days during that week "off."

If the reports that come from the tour are true about how VJ treats his caddies then 500 grand aint enough. It seems that to caddie for the big figian you have to be a robot who says yes sir no sir and im sorry you hooked it OB Mr Singh that was my fault just deduct it from my check!
BEAST!

Come on beast i could put up with his crap for that sort of money. He%% caddies on big name bags(Tiger, Phil, etc) make more money in a year than i did my whole playing carreer.

Johnny,
A bit, yeah.
They're chickensj*t when it comes to issues that come out of Tour HQ.
The closest I've seen these guys step up to the plate was when Brian Hewitt said the thought the LPGA's new rule concerning "proficiency" in English as a qualifying feature to stay on the tour was questionable.
Then of course you have "The Big "Stupid" Break and other dumb-assed programs. And, then there is Kelly Tilgman. If they ever had her and Jim Nance on the same program I think the earth would explode.
Oh, and the program with Andrew Magee and that bonehead with the bow-tie going back and forth with Brian Kamm as the moderator? The stupidest damn thing they've got going. Jesus that guy with the tie is terrible.
Other than that I'm fine Johnny Cakes.

No big deal, my man.
Some typo's just strike me as funny. Yours brought a big fruit to mind.
Then there's always the chance you may be right.

Oh, no doubt about it, Singh is quite sure he is very special and his caddie must be willing to swallow a bit of ground glass, but it goes with the territory. He wins alot and he works hard; but he's still a jerk.

Is this supposed to be a "Pity the Caddie" article? I mean carrying a bag for hours and making $500 million seems a good gig if you can get it. Compare that to soldiers who get shot at or bombed for minimum wages or any of the other jobs of great effort, stress, or intellectual exercise that pays little or nothing. Sorry, no sympathy from me for an over-paid caddie of elite.
