I have normally been using a Power Cart.....but those fees are starting to add up. So I'm thinking of buying one of those nice push carts....plus I figure it is a good workout :}

I love to walk when I can, I carried my clubs backpack style for years.

Now that I'm smarter, I have a Sun Mountain V1 push cart that works great. If I were to buy another manual push cart, I would probably go with the Clicgear 3 wheeler, which folds up quite nicely for travel.

Then I became really smart and bought a remote controlled motorized cart from an estate on Craigslist. Trust me, for walking, it's the best way to get your clubs around the course.

Here's a video of the cart I bought for $175, I got the cart, remote, travel bag, battery and charger. I emailed the company for an owners manual, and the guy in the video is the one who responded and sent me a manual.

I have never seen a cart like mine anywhere but in my garage, I hear they are big in Australia. It's really cool to have your clubs meet you at the teebox.

I have the Clicgear 2.0 push cart and love it. It's very similar to the Sun Mountain except that it folds up a little smaller and has airless tires. You can't go wrong with it. I seldom walked before buying this cart and now I walk most of the time.

I voted Push Cart, but i use a pull cart. I would rather walk than ride, but didn't have a stand bag. I was going to buy a used stand bag on Craigs list, when an add for a used BagBoy pooped up. $20 for a perfectly good BB. I don't even take my bag off it now. The whole thing fits fine in my trunck and that's where they stay.

In my bag are
Hibore XLS 10.5*
Hibore XLS 22* 3i Hybrid
TA7 irons 3-PW, SW
CG11 60* LW VP #5 putter.

Almost always ride because my buddy is too lazy/always claims he has back problems. Our cart died this weekend and we had to walk one hole while the pro shop sent out the replacement and I felt like I was on the Amazing Race or Survivor telling him not to complain so much.

this is probably the best push cart on the market right now

I have a Bag Boy 180 which is nice, and you might find a bit cheaper... but it's folded upsize is a fair bit larger than the Clicgear.

There was a very good article in the most recent golfweek in regards to push carts and JR golfers. I can't remember the specifics, but i think that most JR golf programs/tourneys are now allowing push carts due to the possibility of back and posture issues with the juniors. I carried for 20+ years, and moved 3 years ago to Sun Mountain. My only wish is that i should have made the move earlier. Much less stress on the back and shoulders for me. It also allows me to use a cart bag vs. a stand bag giving me more room for stuff. The 3 big guys (Sun Mountain, Clicgear, Bagboy) all have terrific carts and i think you can't go wrong with any of them. good luck.

99% of the time I'll walk and carry my clubs. Sometimes, some of the courses I go to will let me use a pull cart for free, but that's pretty rare.

I kind of think it's a joke that they charge you to rent those. It's not like they need the money to pay for maintenance on them or anything.

      Best Shot of the Week

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
