− | + | To most, goat is simply the name for a horned ruminant mammal. For those in sporting circles, it’s a four-letter acronym bestowed upon the greatest of all time. | |

+ | Silvies Valley Ranch offers a slice of Wild West luxury to travelers and – for the golfers among them – the opportunity to be caddied for by a rigorously trained team of goats. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A world first when launched in 2018, the current team is the best to ever do it, as far as Silvies owner Dr. Scott Campbell is concerned – and they have even convinced some initial skeptics. | ||
+ | |||
+ | “A lot of people said it was a stupid idea,” Campbell told CNN. | ||
+ | |||
+ | “They thought it would make people call us a goat track. Nothing could be further from the truth. Everybody has a good time … People come from all over the world.” | ||
+ | |||
+ | New career path | ||
+ | The radical setup was born from a practical problem. | ||
+ | |||
+ | McVeigh’s Gauntlet – Silvies’ seven-hole challenge course – was far too steep for golf carts to safely traverse. With players only requiring a few clubs to play the course, carrying such a load was well within the capabilities of the ranch’s 3,000 grazers, whose ancestors were transporting cargo long before golfers were planting tees. | ||
+ | |||
+ | “The goats were asking for different career opportunities, and as an equal opportunity employer, we developed a new career path for them,” Campbell joked. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A three-month evaluation process sees potential caddies as young as six months old scouted on their friendliness and physical aptitude. Those that progress to the next stage are fitted with a custom-made golf bag – tailored by Oregon-based company Seamus Golf – to see if they’re comfortable carrying it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The bag is near-empty for training, but for full-time caddies contains six clubs, extra balls and tees, six drink cans and their daily wage: a few dozen peanuts. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Chosen candidates are taught the course and put on a carefully monitored physical and nutrition regime before starting their new role from two years old, working six-hour shifts three to four days a week. An on-site vet visits the caddy shack – situated next to the club house and open to visitors throughout the day – on a weekly basis. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Eight goats make up today’s caddie team – Chunky, Mulligan, Harry, Bogey, Birdie, Charlie, Carrot and Jack – with nine yearlings in training and 10 three-month-old prospects waiting in the wings. |
