When future generations look back on Oregon's contribution to the world in the late 2010s, they will, without a doubt, remember the goats.

It was Oregon where

rose to prominence, where you can get flowers

And now, in Oregon, you can golf with a goat for a caddie.

You can experience this innovation in golf technology at

in Seneca, a working goat and cattle farm with three golf courses and a spa.

Tygh Campbell owns the ranch. He came up with the goat caddie concept -- the ranch raises thousands of goats a year -- and enlisted Akbar Chisti, co-founder and president of Beaverton's Seamus Golf, to help make his goat golf dreams a reality.

"I thought it was a hilarious idea," Chisti said over the phone Tuesday.

The project presented an interesting challenge. How were they going to get a golf bag on a goat, when, Chisti said, "golf bags aren't made to go on goats."

But Chisti, who created Seamus Golf with his wife Megan, was up to the challenge.

The process of getting a bag that would stay on Bruce, the first goat selected for caddie duties, was iterative.

"The first time we kinda failed because the clubs would fall out," Chisti said. "We took those experiences and improved it."

The final bags don't just hold clubs. The also hold a six-pack of beer and, as a treat to the goats, Chisti said, "each bag had to have a pouch for peanuts."

According to Sunshine Smarr, who works in reservations at Silvies, there are currently four trained goat caddies.

'We do plan to have more," she said.

Goat enthusiasts will have to wait until

, a seven-hole "fun, care-free" course, opens on July 10 for their chance to golf with a goat caddie.
