Caddyshack was righteous: 17 people sickened at NCAA women’s golf tournament

I’ve seen a lot of people barf on a golf course, whether during my early morning caddying rounds at the local private club 45-years-ago (Caddyshack is one of the most historically accurate films ever made) to annual golfing trips to Virginia 15-20-years-ago.

It was almost always from over-indulgence the night before.

According to Austin Public Health, 17 people became ill from a virus during the NCAA Women’s Golf Tournament in Austin, Texas.

The cause is yet to be determined, but the illness could be foodborne based on the symptoms.

While the investigation continues, the number of people reported sick could increase. The cause of the illness will be difficult to determine as the people ate at different locations.
