And the volunteers at Augusta are paid
Jeff, if they pay the volunteers aren't they no longer volunteers?

A typical lawyer question.

Knew that was coming.
My information is of course 35 years old, so who knows if it's accurate.
When I worked the scoreboards at Augusta, we were not required to PAY $160 for a uniform as the USGA requires.
We were patd a $7 per day per diem, which was for lunch, etc.
Very hard to spend $7 in concessions at Augusta in 1980 (.50 Cokes, $1.00 sandwiches)
Perhaps things have changed...
I'm just always amazed that the USGA requires volunteers to pay for their uniforms, the Men's US Open is one thing, but other events not so much.
