Yeah, it’s us that’s making a big deal out of nothing.

I said I'd have a cart, and you all go out of your way to call me an idiot. Yes, it's definitely not me who's making a big deal out of nothing.

It’s okay, though, Bill. The other seven of us will just all wear “I’m With Stupid” shirts.

I have friends!

We’ll just get little Dechambeau/Hogan hat stickers, and have the finger pointing at it, so everyone will know what we’re talking about.

As if the goofball with the push cart on the Sandbox wouldn’t already have told them all they need to know.

I keep trying to tell myself this is a bit by @billchao, but it’s just not funny.

Maybe Bryson’s ball spritzer guy can push your push cart around the 1600-yard course for you. 😄

It may actually be less work than the spritzing.

That is perfect for air travel to resorts with a par 3 course.  Great product.

What club do you hit 145? 

Yeah the longest hole is pretty short, I think 3-4 clubs total for most of us will be fine.

I have one of those (and love it for the range). It’d actually be cool if there was a way to attach a shoulder strap. 

I’ve actually started playing more par-3 courses recently so a Sunday bag will be a good purchase.

I know I walked the Cradle with just a few clubs in my hand, that could be the way to go at the Sandbox.  OTOH, my wife has a little teeny bag normally used to take few clubs when you're cart paths only, and your ball is across the fairway.  Y'all wouldn't give me a hard time if I had a pretty pink bag for my Sandbox rounds, would you?

Only if you had matching pink socks to go with it.. 😊.

I might steal my son's bright green Sunday bag myself.

Of course we will.

I mean, what do you take us for? Polite? 😄

[cipher]

@DaveP043yep we will make fun of you and then after you make a hole in one we will all have pink bags. 😂

Hmmm, this is making me consider which bag I should bring. My clubs are basically forever in my PSU bag (I have two), but I have other bags, too. Including a little cart bag. And my staff bag (not bringing that one).

I think I am switching to my Ping Carry bag just because its not as heavy as my stand bag.

I might just bring my PING Newport Cup bag, too.

Geeez, The bag felt heavier with out the clubs than the Ping Newport Cup bag with the clubs in it.

Doesn’t look like much of a course from a Google Maps perspective.😜

[iacas]

It’s all a simulation.

Have you not heard of jungle golf?

It's strange that Google Earth displays 2013 imagery as the base image. You can switch it to 2017.

And in 2017 you can see parts of Mammoth Dunes still under construction.  That's about the same time as these photos and discussion:
