I have always enjoyed walking. Always feel much more connected to the round, feel like i can learn the course better etc. However, of late some lower back nerve problems have really slowed me down. Shoulders would be pretty tired after a round also. After reading some reviews i bit the bullet and bought a clicgear 3.5+ as a reference this is my first cart of any kind. Honestly, after 3 rounds i wish i hqd done this years ago. Its basically effortless to push. The handle is very adjustable to be able to find the right height for your pushing comfort. It folds down very small and is pretty easy to fold and unfold. It comes with a umbrella holder which i hope to not use often. And a drink holder which fits the smaller gatorade or water bottles fine. It sits on the side and swings freely. I had my coffee in it this morning in a travel mug no problem. Nice little netting big enough for water, snacks, rangefinder or whatever. Nice side opening magnetic compartment big enough for keys, wallet, balls cigars...tee holders on the handle and nice little slots for pencil and scorecard. Pretty much everything at your finger tips. I have a sun mountain 3.5 carry bag. Reading other online reports i expected this to be a p4oblem getting the bag to sit straight on the cart and not rotate around. It took me a couple of minutes the first time i put it on to get the straps adjusted properly. And now no problems. My bag has never slid or moved around. I have the straps just barely snug but not tight and no issues. I would agree that its not ideal but its not a problem either. The clubs slide in and out easily. The handle is not in the way of pulling wedges for myself. Bag chatter is minimal while walking. The brake system is easy and works great. I have had it parked on a couple fairly steep slopes with no issues. The whole setup is incredibly stable and easy. Really handy....and easy.... In case you cant tell i am completly impressed. I had fairly high expectations and thus far it has surpassed them. I would highly recommend anyone that walks regularly to get one. Honestly the best couple hundred bucks ive spent in years on golf.

You made a good choice. I have one of the original Clicgears. Mine came with pneumatic (air) tires on it. The thing is a tank, and as far as I can tell it's indestructible. Yeah, I have had to air up the tires a few times over the years, but it's worth it. I have even greased the axles a few time also.

They are effortless to push, and when I let mine roll down hill on it's own, it tracks very well too.

I was at a 2nd hand store a couple of months ago, and found a well used one for $20. I grab it up just to have it. I will have to make a trip to a bicycle shop, or Harbor Freight to replace the worn out sponge rubber tires that came with it. Maybe a little sanding, and a new paint job might be in order too. I am always looking for something to tinker with.

Congrats. :dance:

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By Elmer ·

      I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

      46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
