I'm actually not quite sure when I saw the Minions movie that had released in 2015, but when I did, it kind of just had confirmed my original decision to not see it in theaters.
I’m not denying that giving up his bonuses would be a big sacrifice, but if Finchem brought his lunch to work for a few weeks instead of buying Nandos, and took an Uber to work instead of the chopper, maybe it would be possible both for him to live on his reported 2008 salary of $1.3 million and for the children of caddies to get antibiotics for their ongoing respiratory infections. I don’t want to sound like a commie, but that’s exactly the amount the caddies were asking for, and I’m nothing if not solutions-oriented. If you take nothing else away from this caddy dispute, take this: PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem took home $4 million in bonuses in 2010, according to the most recent result I could find on the first page of Google search results. I know one thing, and one thing only, and that’s the narrative of the little guy standing up to the big guy, and I will crusade for it every time. Some things that have previously been a certain way for decades: child labour, sweatshop labour, forced labour, the Labour party. I’m not sure that something being a certain way for decades makes it ok. “Caddies have been required to wear the bibs for decades So caddies know when they enter the profession, that wearing a bib during tournaments is part of the job… for that reason, there is no merit to the caddies’’ contention that contracts somehow prevent the Tour from requiring them to wear bibs.” In his ruling, last week, the judge wrote, “The caddies’ overall complaint about poor treatment by the Tour has merit, but this federal lawsuit about bibs does not.” How much of this $1 million a week do the caddies currently get? None.
The bibs generate around $1 million of advertising revenue a week. This was just after caddies had filed the lawsuit, which is probably a bit more complicated than I’m about to make it sound but which basically comes down to them wanting $4 million per year from the advertising on the bibs they’re forced to wear each week.

That is not even a full step away from taking shelter in an electric chair during an execution in that chair. Advised we go in clubhouse for our safety. During a thunderstorm in a PGA tournament last year, while players whooped it up in the clubhouse, caddies were forced to take shelter in a metal shed.īig storm here we’re in caddy steel shelter. They are slaves to whoever they are working for – their “man”, as top golfers are unironically referred to on the men’s tour.Ĭaddies work hard as hell, but get repeatedly shafted. The physical demands of the caddy’s job are nothing, it turns out. We look at them and we can’t help but wonder, “What is life like for you?” Thanks to Steve Williams’s endless chitchat, our knowledge improved a little, but still we new nothing until last year, when a bunch of caddies filed a class action lawsuit against the PGA Tour. There they go, marching up the fairways, their little rounded backs bent at considerable angles against their heavy loads, leading to premature degenerative conditions. There is nothing in all of sport as cute and sad as a caddy. A CADDY LADEN DOWN BY GOLF CLUBS AND INJUSTICE Greg Bruce pleads on behalf of golf’s little guys. In return, they keep getting shafted by their filthy rich bosses. Caddies are subjected to an avalanche of indignities.
