I generally carry, but if I'm playing after soccer or hockey or fter coming from the gym I will use a pull cart, since you can't drive at my home course untill you are 18.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

I generally use a pull cart nowadays. I carry sometimes and use a driving cart when the course requires it (or when the fee is the same with or without the riding). My preference is to pull so I can enjoy the walk and not have a heavy bag on my back. Plus then I can take with me more water.

I started carrying my bag , later used a Sun Mountain speed cart and just recently went back to carrying my bag. I carry 14 clubs and try to lighten my bag anyway I can.

Prefer to ride, usually. Helps my mental game not to brood on a bad shot for the next 20 minutes (same applies when there's a slow foursome ahead). Sometimes I'll use a pull cart when it's a nice day out or play's not very fast.

I have always used a pull cart but as my back is getting strong again I have decided to carry. I actually find it easier than a pull cart (probably cause I took all the crap out of my bag when I switched) and you can cut across the edges off the greens to save miles! Not many motorised carts over here.

I ride.

Just to speed things up. The downside is being slowed down by the group in front of us, because we always catch up everytime.

I carry. I find it easier and less walking once you get around greens. I have a Sun Mountain Lightning ES and like it.

I will put it on a pull cart if my back is a bit stiff from playing hockey the day before or if I have a hockey game that day.

I try not to ride if can be helped. I find I have no rhythm when I ride and my back stiffens a bit from sitting waiting to hit the next shot. I will ride once in a while at my home course at night in the summer. I play with one of our assistant pros and if the course isn't busy, we ride and can get 18 in under two and a half hours. When this is the case, there is no chance for my back to stiffen as I'm not sitting for long.

I use a push cart. Carrying hurts my back and riding doesn't give you the same appreciation of the course. I find it easier to judge distance as well as find my ball more quickly when I walk.

The only exception is 90+ degree days, then you have to ride.

I walk whenever possible. It seems like I can never loosen up when I ride, unless it's a really warm day. Also, as said before, I like the extra time to walk off a bad shot. It gives me time to think about it and by the time I get to my ball the bad thoughts are gone and I can focus on the next shot.

Depends on the course, but in order of preference:

1) Walk and carry my bag.
2) Walk and use an electric cart (sometimes when I'm tired or it's really hot).
3) Ride.

I own a Club Car so I do ride a lot, but I also have a pull cart and use that as well(walking).

So it's about 60% riding and 40% walking for me. I NEVER rent a riding cart beacuse I do own one.

I walk whenever I can. That means, local NY courses or munis anywhere else - walk (moderate pace). Traveling in the US, playing "resort" style courses - ride, against my will. UK - walk (quickly).

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I walk usually because I enjoy it more. It gives me time to take in all the beauty of the course, as well as prepare for the next shot.

I carry most of my rounds. On vacation I will ride. I rarely use a pull cart. The only way I will is if my back is flared up to the point I can't carry the bag. The only other times are when it gets well over 100 degrees.

I 'PUSH'. One of those 3 wheel stroller/carts. Much easier to push than pull btw.

I'll carry before I cart... but if I'm with alot of buddies and we're out to have a 'good time', carrying might be a bad idea due to the weight of those extra cans at which time I'll cart and bring along alot of ice!

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
