I like to walk the course. I carry my bag right now. Considering a cart. Who likes to carry the bag and who likes to use a push/pull cart? If you like the cart do you like the push or the pull and why?

I like the push cart. I used to love to carry, but my back would be sore after 18, especially when I'd carry 100+ounces of water over the summer. So now I use a push cart. I can still walk, and I can walk 36 without hurting my back.

Last year, I thought about getting the clicgear cart, but I have to admit, I was influenced by my friends and a number of people on forums that say carts are for old folks. I am 28, athletic, in great shape, and have had no injuries, so I figured they were right. However, if its a choice between having a push/pull cart and a golf cart, then take I would walk the course and take the hand cart.

For whatever reason, push carts are really big in Europe, but are frowned upon here.

I am also 28 and active... I play both hockey and racquetball... but screw carrying a bag around, especially on hilly courses. I don't care how fit you are, carrying will affect your swing ever so slightly at the tail end of 18 holes on some days. Plus, I can actually put all the crap in my bag that I like to have with me. It also has a place for my water, scorecard, and other such stuff. Not too many people will talk shi* to me for having a push cart anyways as I am 6'4" and stocky.

We have caddies who carry/pull carts for you in this part of the country... hehehe...

But when I do play in another country, I would use the pull carts.

Well, I'm going to vote in the other direction, I love to walk and I now prefer to carry again. I have a Clicgear cart that's really great, but honestly, it was just an opportunity to shove needless crap in my bag for me to be tinkering with when I should be focusing on the next shot. Now that I'm carrying again, I've limited my bag to the necessities:

Clubs
Balls
Tees
Rangefinder
A bottle of water

Life is simple again!

what in the hell were you putting in your bag before Did you carry a book on trig to plan out shots or a star chart or some other crazy gadgets or devices?

Actually, it was more like a sandwich, couple sports drinks, probably more balls than I needed, couple gloves, rain gear, umbrella, etc...

I'm not a big strong hockey player, so I couldn't carry it all after I got rid of my sissy-cart

i love walking for the exercise that it gives... and we have some straight up mountainous courses in NJ, NY & PA.

But I do score better when I've ridden.... But if I'm going out for ball striking sessions...not scoring and only worry about how i can strike and work the ball..then I'll just walk.... courses here tend to get backed up..so by the time i walk and get to my ball...i still have like 3 - 5 minutes to wait till my next shot.

I mostly used a cart, because my bag is abnormally heavy. I don't know what it is, but It really hurts my back after 18 holes. I like carrying though because you can get close to the green, and walk across the green without having to go around like you do with a cart.
