I agree. I would LOVE to play with a caddie, but where I live that isnt very common. I walk because the course I play (as most courses) charges way to much for a cart. I would rather play twice walking than once with a cart. The course I play is basically cut out of the side of a mountain. I believe there is one maybe two greens/fairways that are not elevated in some way. I use a carry bag and let me tell you by the time I am done with 18, I am wore out.

I love to walk and carry when I can but the island courses that I play are sometimes impossible to do so. Hills and hills and hills. I'd have to get out every other day to keep in condition.

Come to think of it. Why don't I do just that?

The intent of the question was "what do you typically do?"

I guess I could have worded it better.

I don't like carrying my clubs for 18 holes. Couple a little heavier bag with a rain-jacket and some junk in my bag and its kinda heavy. So I have an old pull cart that a buddy gave me.

I was pretty jealous of the three wheel push cart niblick was sporting when we golfed a couple of weeks ago. I'll be getting one of them as soon as I am able.

I got a gift card to Golfsmith for my birthday over the summer, and there was never a question about what to get. That push cart is awesome - I've been really happy with it. My golf swing on the other hand, well, that's a different story.

I was happy to show off my pull hook for you and Mike all day long so, yeah, my golf swing is another story too.

Walk and carry is the only way to go IMO. That's the way the Scots did it, its the way the pros do it and thats how I will do it until I can not physicly do it anymore. By that time I hope I'm going on 90.

i walk and carry. i am fairly young and definitely able, and i need the exercise, so that is what i prefer to do. my home course is very hilly and it is quite a tough walk early in the season, but it is fine once you get your conditioning back.

I am a walk and carry guy, unless it too wet to stay reasonably dry. Don't like squishy feet :) I am not opposed to riding when its really hot. It can get pretty humid here in the summer.

Because of some intense chemotherapy 5 years ago, I have been using a sit-down cart mostly. I have peripheral neuropathy in the feet, they tend to give me trouble somewhere in the back nine if I walk. But recently my wife bought me a Sun Mountain E-cart (electric motor in front hub). I really love it, because my feet seem to handle 18 holes OK if I don't have to push or pull a heavy bag. I just walk straight to my ball behind this puppy, and all my clubs are always to hand - unlike walking from and to a sit-down cart, with all the restrictions on where you can ride it. But I still have to stay away from walking on the cart paths, which are like daggers to my feet after a while.

This electric cart also has a built-in seat that I use whenever my feet start acting up. So now I'm walking again mostly, except for really hilly courses. This may sound like a commercial endorsement but it aint - I recommend people like me with certain medical issues consider some sort of walk-behind powered cart so that they can get some exercise out there while enjoying a round.

BTW, my condition does not affect my game at all, since I've lost no motor control - it's no excuse when I blow a round!

    • Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.  
    • I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄 
    • The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.
    • Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.
    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.
