National Golf Links of America- Lawsuit New
« on: June 17, 2020, 09:06:40 PM »
2013 Walker Cup - Day Two


Problems with caddies:

They don’t see the green.
Caddies got clubbed on wages at Southampton’s swanky National Links of America, a course favorite of Michael Bloomberg, Michael Jordan and Wall Street billionaires, according to a federal lawsuit they filed in Brooklyn.
Once dubbed “America’s snootiest” golf club, the National took an eight-iron to the earnings of its attendants, paying only for their time carting clubs, though some worked as many as 70 hours per week laundering towels and scrubbing toilets, the class-action suit claims.

That is the punch bowl green, right?  Don't recall it being that soft in contour, or the rough being so close to the edge of the green.  Even the fw in the foreground doesn't look to slope into the green.
