That one came as a surprise. R&A for a long time had an abominable reputation among caddies in Europe. Obviously they all loved to be at the Open Championship, but their facilities were restricted to a few porta-potties.

One reason might be that the original St. Andrews caddies usually thought of themselves as the "brain" in the team, the player had it easy, all he had to do was hit the damn shot. They were the ones figuring out what club to use, what kind of shot to hit and were to aim. Sometimes that lead to conflicts with their employers, no at all uncommon that they dropped the clubs and walked into the Auld Grey Toon for a wee nip instead of watching a player botch a game.

But I understand that in the US - unlike on ET - sometimes caddies are restricted to enter locker rooms and may have difficulties in preparing their player's bag.
