Love "Hungover Caddie" feature. Been waiting a long time for someone to talk seriously about how to rake a bunker.

We get at least one of these.... I, and I suspect a host of other Evans Scholars, am offended by your column "Hungover Caddie." Many of us worked long and hard to provide caddie services, starting as young teenagers, working through high school and being awarded the Evans Scholarship to attend college. The column is not funny -- in fact, it is an insult and offensive to those of us who have had the privilage to work in this profession. Please remove the column from your magazine.
Humor either works or it doesn't, and it may work for you when it doesn't for me. As these letters and many others like them demonstrate, this is purely a case of what you consider funny. Don't see, however, how this is an insult to the sober, hard-working caddies among us, Evans Scholars or not. A Scholar myself, I've never thought that the column had anything to do with my kind of caddy. But I've known a few loopers over the years---none of whom would have qualified for the scholarship--who might have been the HC.
The point is, it's meant to be fun. We're sorry if it doesn't appeal to everyone.
