Master's Caddy Uniforms

Why do they look so stupid? I can understand having a traditional white suit for them to wear, but does have to be 10x oversized? It looks like they're ready to free jump into a canyon with one of those squirrel suits on.

Maybe the caddies like the extra room and choose to wear them big? Notice how many of them unzip or unbutton them too.

When I've caddied I barely even tie the sides on the old caddie bibs. Tie them tight and it feels weird, since bending your knees in the Masters suits can pull on the material at your shoulders and stuff.

Looks like a bunch of cleaners or painters. A jumpsuit on a golf course just doesn't do it for me.

They should put them in kilts.

Now you have me thinking. PGA forbids players to wear  short pants, although those pants called 'plus 4' seem OK if long socks also worn. Caddies, on PGA tour permitted to wear short pants though many need to lose 40 lbs to look good.  But, the Master's is  private and not run by the PGA (i think this is correct) so maybe the players could wear short pants or even the traditional kilt, which would look good on some of the lads, maybe not Jimanez.  I would love to see some bearded Scot in tartan kilt strolling up the 18th, hairy legs for all to admire.

Not too traditional.  The sporran would get in the way of the swing, I think.

No one wears shorts at ANGC--not even the members.  Also good to note that it's closed from May-Oct.

Pretty sure those are the same caddy uniforms that they've been wearing since the 1930s.  Must be a thing with stuffy old clubs, because I've played a few others who have caddies that wear similar getups.
