I’ve meant to delve more into this since I first heard about this a few weeks — in the meantime here’s a piece written by Rich Klindworth and here’s the link to the video and story posting at WSPA

“When golfing, caddies can really make a difference in a round. At one local course the caddies are making the rounds memorable. Llamas are caddying at Sherwood Forest Golf Course in Cedar Mountain, NC. Every Tuesday golfers can rent a llama for 9 holes to carry their clubs.

“Some say the llamas are the perfect caddies because they don’t critique your swing or say how bad your shot was. But if you are seeking advice, the owner of the llamas say by stomping on the ground the llama agrees with your club choice.

“The llamas have been at Sherwood Forest for the past two months and the owner, Mark English, is hoping to eventually use the llamas at other area courses. Mark says he came up with the idea on his own, but when researching how to do it, he found a golf course in Pinehurst, NC that has been using llamas for years.”

The llamas are rented for $40 and two people can share a llama.

I’ll do some checking on this info -

Thanks so much!
