Media scum's diary as Tour caddie

Good, juicy reading here as Gary Van Sickle, senior writer for Sports Icky and self-described media scum, bears all in his on-line diary of his five days caddieing for Andy North.

MILWAUKEE -- A chart of my pulse rate Saturday morning would've been entertaining. It was about 6:15, well after zero-dark-thirty but still well before any self-respecting caddie would expect to be awake and alert. (I don't have any self-respect but that's another story.) I was on the practice range at Brown Deer Park with Andy North, the two-time U.S. Open champion who asked me to caddie for him during the U.S. Bank Championship (just for fun, no money will change hands). He was warming up before we went out at 7 a.m. to finish the last 8½ holes of our rain-delayed second round.
