4) Big Burden. I used to turn up at my small airport 20 minutes before the flight. My last flight I arrived 2 1/2 hours ahead on the return trip. Another note. Try not to leave Vegas on Sunday evening.

Woaw, that sounds really, really bad. Bet those who caddy for a player using private jets feel pretty lucky. Maybe you guys will go back to car pooling?

I've met a few caddies on the European Tour and it is amazing how the older guys miss the earlier times when they all went by cars to different tournaments. Thy think that it has become a bit to rational and efficient these days. One guy told me about a van they christened The Belgrano (an Argentine man-o-war that was particualarly inept) that four or five caddies would traverse around Europe in and making a few extra bucks by transporting bags for some players. If it was players they didn't like they sometimes swapped shafts in even or odd numered irons, insuring that his yardages would be off for a few days before the prank was discovered.

Any stories like that from the US tour?
