All of the player assistants were women and they all wore a uniform (not unlike nurse's scrubs) and cone shaped wicker hats.

Fortunately, they did not allow the carts off of the cart path - that would have been quite dangerous.

The assistants were very good at calling out distances (I think they had the sprinkler heads memorized) and reading putts.
This is fine for them, if the club's insurance agrees to cover that. Here, the danger is falling off onto pavement and concrete curbing, and under the wheels/bumpers of cars/trucks behind them. It's not like being thrown onto turf of a golf course.
