Hmmmmm. Impressive, but is she really a caddie if she doesn’t carry the disks?

I had a shepherd that would find my disks, and a lab that would carry them in her backpack. Good times….good times.

Is it really golf if you play it with a disc?

No, it’s “disk golf”. A separate entity from “golf”.

That’s like asking “is it really tennis if you play it on a table?”. It’s table tennis.
Is it really hockey if it uses air not ice? It’s air hockey.
Is it really a bicycle if it doesn’t move? It’s a stationary bicycle.

This belongs in the Hall of Fame and should be taught in 1st grade

So you're saying there actually are "disc golf caddies" that carry discs? Because if not, I think that's just a different category, and doesn't necessarily involve any carrying. Except when you give the mulligan signal.

Absolutely yes.
My lab carried my disks, rags, place markers, and sometimes even my cigars in her backpack until she was paralyzed. She was my caddy.
My Shepherd would only chase the disk and “mark” where it stopped by touching it with his nose, but I never taught him to sit there so you had to watch him closely. He was not a caddy.
I’ve also known people who performed the same duties for friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, even for the “blind” disk golfer I played with a few times (he actually beat me). I’ve seen people tired of playing all day caddy for their friends quite often.
I’ve also seen caddies used in tournaments.
It’s not the norm, but it’s certainly not unheard of by any means.

Edit: is a caddy a prerequisite for it to be “golf”? If so, I guess there are a bunch of municipal bumpy ball whacking fields, but no municipal golf courses?

I will say, I’ve never personally seen electric disk golf carts.

Get that dog some booties.

"If your dog spends a lot of time outdoors — whether in summer or winter — investing in dog boots is a good idea. Paws are sensitive to extreme heat, extreme cold, and sharp particles such as ice shards or sticks while hiking."

I guess my title (not the original) is just a deceptive teaser headline kind of thing. Never played golf with either balls or discs, but I can recognize a smart dog.

She does a lot of what a caddy does, so not deceptive imo. Just a technicality if even that…..

….after finally looking it up, I found I’m wrong twice.

1) singular of caddies is caddie, not caddy
2) it’s simply someone who is an attendant for someone playing golf (or it’s derivatives), so carrying the clubs/disks is apparently not a requirement.

I can admit I was w-w-w-wrong

For your penitence you must gift 10 Power Points to Buttle along with reciting three Hail Marys. God bless you my Son.
