Thanks to Vnello from The Golf Space for the tip on the new craze in caddies. Fluff and Steve Williams better watch out, or they may soon be replaced by llamas. Sherwood Forest Country Club’s caddy shack is full of llamas, who carry bags for $40. The players like the llamas and their “calm” demeanor.
It is possible that even Tiger Woods’ caddy Steve Williams could be replaced. Let’s do a side by side comparison table between Steve Williams and a llama to see who has the advantage. Perhaps Tiger’s drought in majors this year could have been avoided if he had a llama for a caddy?

Wow. The results are amazing. The llama wins by a landslide. Aside from the camera smashing category, the llama is equal or better in all others.
I’m pretty sure llamas can smash cameras. Probably much more thoroughly than can Steve Williams. They have 4 hooves (not sure of spelling of that) vs a mere 2 feet. They have, what, five or six times the weight/mass of Steve Williams. I bet they could even “munch” a camera with their teeth (Stevie can’t do that).
I hadn’t considered this. I’d imagine the pounds per square inch with which a llama could much a camera is beyond what a human being, or Steve Williams could produce.
ISBPD if you are correct, it is even more of a resounding result, at 6-3.
