I don't walk much, mostly due to time. When I do I carry my cart bag. I tried renting a cart to push it around but that wobbly thing slowed me down.

I used to carry but now use a pull cart. I'm not as young as I used to be and was pretty drained by the end of my round when I carried my bag.

The heavy rental pull carts are to blame. My personal folding pull cart is way lighter and more maneuverable.

One of the reasons that I golfed where I did last summer was that it was a very walkable course.  I really prefer to walk and when I do I like to carry.  There have been times though that I'll use one of the club's three wheel "push carts".  I find those very nice versus a pull cart - probably due to the stability that the 3 wheels give.  When it is wet or when it is very hot are too great times to use a cart versus carrying.  Unfortunately a lot of the other courses that I play require a motorized cart.

Without a doubt. I see guys out there with their nice carts getting around fairly well. I can't justify the expense because more often than not I'm out before or after work so time is the issue. I walk on weekends if I can pair up with walkers but if not I catch a ride. Home course doesn't charge per rider so I can split fees or buy a few beers.

I carry 95% of the time.  I usually only use my push cart if it's going to rain (umbrella holder).  I find carrying much less work than pushing or pulling; it's less effort to simply walk with something on my back rather than actively pushing or pulling something.  I know on really hilly courses I will always carry regardless of weather.

I am getting a bit older myself so most of the time on my home course I only walk 9 in the am. Many times I walk the other 9 in the pm.

After my nap of course. I also know pretty much what clubs I can leave at home on this course. My best score on the course was shot when I only carried my 7 Iron an putter a sweet 84

When I walk, I always use a push cart.  Push carts are better for your back than carrying or using a pull cart.  I used to always carry but find that using a push carts leaves me feeling less fatigued by the end of my round and probably saves me a few strokes.

I usually carry when playing just nine, which is most of the time.  If I play 18 I will use a push cart.

I have the back pack straps I only use them if the ground is uneven or I hit a real good shoot and have a long walk to get there. Wish this happen more. The thing that I like the best is the pop out legs that keep  you from having to pick the bag off the ground like in the olden days.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
