Pavin's wife took 20 meetings to design crappy rainsuits!

GOLF WORLD - via Geoff Shackleford - has apparently uncovered why the U.S. Ryder Cup team in Wales was, somehow, outfitted with rainsuits that weren’t waterproof.
What happened? Here’s the prevailing view: Lisa Pavin’s weird design happened. She wanted names on the backs of the jackets and stripes on the pants and sleeves. Those accoutrements had to be embroidered, which meant, in effect, poking dozens of tiny holes into the fabric, renderingthe rainsuits vulnerable in a downpour—and there were plenty of those last week (players were complaining as early as Tuesday about the rainsuits).

So why didn’t Sun Mountain explain this to Pavin? Supposedly the company did—there were more than 20 meetings between Sun Mountain and the Pavins—but in the end, Lisa got the design she wanted. And the U.S. team got soaked.
