Here We Go: Caddie Told Shorts Not An "Acceptable" Color
/It's been hard to get too caught up in the plight of the caddies and their PGA Tour lawsuit. Until now, when a "PGA Tour official" (which could be any number of possibilities) reportedly told looper Duane Bock that his red shorts were not acceptable. Bock was looping for Kevin Kisner at the Arnold Palmer Invitational when the fashion police shared their views.

Rex Hoggard followed up with this:
Bock is among 167 caddies who filed a class-action lawsuit against the Tour last month, claiming the Tour has engaged in restraint of trade and anticompetitive conduct involving the caddie bib.
Following Sunday’s final round, Bock told GolfChannel.com that he had no problem with officials policing what caddies wear, but that he would like to see more consistency.
On Friday, for example, Henrik Stenson’s caddie Gareth Lord wore a similar pair of red shorts and told GolfChannel.com officials said nothing to him about it.
As many commenters noted, John Daly's wife/caddie wears Loud Mouth branded stuff when looping for her man. And there isn't a jury in the world that would agree red shorts are less acceptable than that stuff!
