I like to walk the course. I carry my bag right now. Considering a cart. Who likes to carry the bag and who likes to use a push/pull cart? If you like the cart do you like the push or the pull and why?

I like the push cart. I used to love to carry, but my back would be sore after 18, especially when I'd carry 100+ounces of water over the summer. So now I use a push cart. I can still walk, and I can walk 36 without hurting my back.

Last year, I thought about getting the clicgear cart, but I have to admit, I was influenced by my friends and a number of people on forums that say carts are for old folks. I am 28, athletic, in great shape, and have had no injuries, so I figured they were right. However, if its a choice between having a push/pull cart and a golf cart, then take I would walk the course and take the hand cart.

For whatever reason, push carts are really big in Europe, but are frowned upon here.

I am also 28 and active... I play both hockey and racquetball... but screw carrying a bag around, especially on hilly courses. I don't care how fit you are, carrying will affect your swing ever so slightly at the tail end of 18 holes on some days. Plus, I can actually put all the crap in my bag that I like to have with me. It also has a place for my water, scorecard, and other such stuff. Not too many people will talk shi* to me for having a push cart anyways as I am 6'4" and stocky.

We have caddies who carry/pull carts for you in this part of the country... hehehe...

But when I do play in another country, I would use the pull carts.

Well, I'm going to vote in the other direction, I love to walk and I now prefer to carry again. I have a Clicgear cart that's really great, but honestly, it was just an opportunity to shove needless crap in my bag for me to be tinkering with when I should be focusing on the next shot. Now that I'm carrying again, I've limited my bag to the necessities:

Clubs
Balls
Tees
Rangefinder
A bottle of water

Life is simple again!

what in the hell were you putting in your bag before Did you carry a book on trig to plan out shots or a star chart or some other crazy gadgets or devices?

Actually, it was more like a sandwich, couple sports drinks, probably more balls than I needed, couple gloves, rain gear, umbrella, etc...

I'm not a big strong hockey player, so I couldn't carry it all after I got rid of my sissy-cart

i love walking for the exercise that it gives... and we have some straight up mountainous courses in NJ, NY & PA.

But I do score better when I've ridden.... But if I'm going out for ball striking sessions...not scoring and only worry about how i can strike and work the ball..then I'll just walk.... courses here tend to get backed up..so by the time i walk and get to my ball...i still have like 3 - 5 minutes to wait till my next shot.

I mostly used a cart, because my bag is abnormally heavy. I don't know what it is, but It really hurts my back after 18 holes. I like carrying though because you can get close to the green, and walk across the green without having to go around like you do with a cart.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
