This is when it's OK to yell at your caddie
Here at Golf Digest, we obviously don't condone yelling at caddies (on the contrary, most of us were caddies at some point, after all). But watching Bubba Watson snap at his caddie during the final round of the Travelers Championship got us thinking: Sometimes, you have to admit, it's pretty darn tough not to. So while we remain staunchly anti-caddie yelling, we'll at least cut you some slack under the following circumstances.

Usually not cool, but Watson ended up taking home nearly $300,000 for his fourth place finish. Not too shabby, but we calculated that if Bubba would have just made a bogey, which would have put him in a playoff, and lost, he would have pocketed about another $300,000. If he goes on to win, he's making a cool $800,000 more than he did. Pretty annoying stuff.
