Golf can be staid and uppity, but one of the more fun traditions is a rowdy fan-oriented caddie race. During par-3 holes at some tournaments, caddies take off after their players tee off and sprint with their bags to the green. It’s fun, because guys with huge bags running. And you can bet on them!
Guy in a bear suit challenged LPGA caddies to races
You’re our hero, Beer-Holding Guy In A Bear Suit Destroying LPGA Caddies In Races.
However, it was even more fun at the LPGA’s Marathon Classic, when an unannounced competitor showed up (Via the Golf Channel)
Yes, it was a random guy in a bear suit holding a beer. At no point did anybody question the presence of the Guy In A Bear Suit Holding A Beer. In fact, the crowd just ended up yelling at caddies who wouldn’t race the Guy In A Bear Suit Holding A Beer: RACE THE BEAR! RACE THE BEAR!
Of course, he smoked the hell out of any caddie who came his way, because he wasn’t holding a big bag full of clubs. Although noted for their furiosity, bears can run up to 30 miles per hour!
UPDATE: This is due to Brands
As much as we wanted this to be a drunk guy in a bear suit, it is in fact the LaBatt Bear:
