Caddies Collect Millions in Golf Finances
Article notes the caddy plays a vital but often overlooked role in golf economics. It highlights their contribution as carriers of clubs and the capital they represent within the sport, though few discuss caddy finances beyond occasional billing.
Caddies Grow Into a Major United States Industry
A writer projects caddy revenue from golf in the United States using rough figures. He estimates 600000 golfers paying 70 cents for each of 24 rounds, suggesting about 8400000 dollars in six months, then scales to clubs and national totals near six million. He notes 2500 golf clubs and about a quarter million caddies, many of whom are players themselves.

Puzzling baseball play mirrors Merkle touch error
The article explains a baserunning dispute with runners on second and third and two outs. The third baseman chooses to tag the runner at third rather than force at second on a grounder to the infield. The runner from third scores before the third out, but a force at second prevented the run from counting. The piece compares it to the Merkle dispute over running and touching bases.
