caddy
A person who carries a player's clubs during a game of golf and advises the player.
Ein guter Caddy kann dem Golfer wertvolle Tipps zur Schlägerwahl geben.
A good caddy can give the golfer valuable tips on club selection.
To distinguish the three meanings, pay attention to the context. Is it about a person who helps (advisor), a vehicle on the golf course (cart), or a car model (VW)?
Mein Caddy hat mir heute sehr geholfen.
My caddy helped me a lot today.
When "Caddy" (caddy) refers to a person, you often find verbs in the sentence that describe an advising or helping activity. Typical verbs are "beraten" (to advise), "helfen" (to help), or "einen Tipp geben" (to give a tip).
Der Caddy riet dem Spieler, einen anderen Schläger zu nehmen.
The caddy advised the player to take a different club.
When the golf cart is meant, "Caddy" (golf cart) is often used with verbs such as "mieten" (to rent), "fahren" (to drive), or "transportieren" (to transport). Adjectives such as "elektrisch" (electric) are also a clear signal.

We rented an electric golf cart for the round.
You can easily recognize the meaning "Automodell" (car model) from brand names such as "VW" or "Volkswagen." Contexts such as "Handwerker" (tradesman), "Familienauto" (family car), or verbs like "einparken" (to park) also point to the car.
