Please help us name a mini-golf goat.

There is a cute goat who lives in a cute little goat house. With the help of about 5 bunny rabbit friends, he (or she?) keeps the grass trimmed at an abandoned mini-golf (putt-putt) place. We stop there occasionally to talk to the goat and to fantasize about running a mini-golf-ery since it's for sale. But what is a clever name for a goat associated with mini-golf? We are at a loss for a good one, properly punny.

(Note: we may not be able to give the best possible name without photos of this cute little goat.)

"There is a cute goat who lives in a cute little goat house."

This excellent storybook beginning simply begs for photos. Until then, no suggestions for you!

Greenskeeper Willie.

I was about to suggest "Groundskeeper Billy."

Or, if he's aggressive, Butt-Butt.

It's not a pun, but I feel like his name should be "Mulligan."

Rocinante? Since it's a miniature golf course I'm assuming there's a windmill.

Also, just as a friendly warning, people are going to start getting upset if some minigolf goat pictures don't materialize here soon.

Please tell me you're going to have a Sound of Music-like, "Lonely Goatherd" themed mini golf hole, oh please oh please...

Response by poster: We went with Gunga Galunga!

Here's the best picture we have of him in his little goat house. We'll take a better one next time. See his little white bunny friend to the left in front of the rocks.
