Just wondering about what everyone thought about push/pull carts. basicaaly is it worth and or neccessary to spend the money and get a decent cart or will the cheap ones do just the same


Posted

I really like my push cart.  I spent around $40 on a basic push cart.  If I could play 18 holes of golf more than 2-3X per month, I would recommend one of the higher end carts (ex. Clicgear)  The higher end carts fold into a smaller size, roll better, and have locking brakes.  If, like me, you are only able to play 18 holes less than 4X per month, then just get a basic push cart; but if you play 1X per week or more frequently, definitely worth spending the money on a nicer cart.

Ive got a $25 one that I bought at Target and it works just fine for me.  Id love to have a 3-wheel push cart, but I find it difficult to justify spending $150 on one when my cheap little $25 one works just fine.

I think carts are a good thing for people who walk because it saves stress on your back.

I said screw it and bought a speedcart v1. it was 175 on sale at roger dunn because of some holiday weekend sale. I love it. no problems and have played about 50 rounds with it so far. the $40 dollar ones work just fine as well. the V1 is built better of course. and has a few extra perks. but if you don't care about the cup holder, then just get a pull cart. small and easy to use. plus, it is $40 or less, depending on where you get one and if you don't like it, you only spent $40 or less.

golf is a lot like life. the more you enjoy it, the better off you are. a3_biggrin.gif

I bought a Linksman X7 3-wheel push cart about two seasons ago, and it has been a tremendous upgrade over my 10-year old  2-wheel Wal-Mart special.  My Linksman cost <$100 (eBay through Manufacturer), and it has been very durable and reliable (play 9 holes about three days per week, with the odd 18-hole round thrown in there).  The pneumatic wheels and other features make it a breeze to manuever and navigate.  Two snaps up in a circle.

I was looking at another thread discussing carts vs carrying and found some of the linksman x-6 s on ebay.  Watching a couple of those auctions to see how high they go,  I think with the the actual inflated tires, they should roll better and look like they fold up very easily and somewhat compact.  They're about $100 retail on there, if one goes for less i might get one,   With a nice cart like that, i would pretty much walk almost all the time when playing alone, which is many times 2-3 times a week or more so it would get a lot of use.    Ive used the cheap carts that most courses provide and they're ok but ive noticed that most players that walk regularly dont use them, they have their own.

Pull carts are less expensive.  If you don't like rust, then get aluminum.  I got my Z-Tech for around $80.

I got a Trekker TC3 push cart and love it.  It folds down nicely and is really light.  The bigger wheels make it easier to get up and over obstacles (branches, etc.) and they're no maintenance (i.e. not inflatable but solid).  It's got a nice "glove box" to hold my iPhone/GPS and has a removable, screw-on umbrella holder which will hold an open umbrella over me while I walk if it starts to rain.  For me, I like pushing over pulling because it puts less stress on my upper back and shoulders.

Re cost - it was worth it to me because otherwise I would ride and that costs $12+ per round.  I figure if I use this thing 15 times it's paid for itself.

    • So few of us would ever even come close to actually having to contemplate such a thing that I'm not sure any of us can really provide much insight here. Do what you feel is best. Or most rational. Or most interesting. All I can say is this: whatever you choose, commit to it and go with it. Don't half-ass it and waffle between your choice and the other options.
    • Played 18 holes at Fort Hays, Kansas Wednesday.  It was 95* and very windy. We had to play the back 9 twice because the course had Men's night tied up on the front 9. In the wind and heat, I shot a 56. 2nd round, I shot a 50. (The last 2 holes I played left handed.)  The wind died down a little and the last two holes (17 & 18) I shot using the left handed clubs.  17th hole is a par 5 and using a left handed driver and 2 fairway #3 woods, I was on in 3 strokes. I did 3 put for a 6.  The 18th hole is a par 3 over the water to the green. I sliced the shot (playing left handed) because I was using a 5 iron to compensate for the wind. (Normally would use a 7 or 8 iron as it is only 123 yards.) Landed short of the green and then chipped on an took a 4.   So, my 18 holes, in heat and winds, I shot 56 & 50 = 106, and played the last 2 holes left handed.  Now, my 2nd question. I can buy a left handed starter set for around $200 complete with bag and putter.   Or do I just switch the woods? I shoot a pretty good short game inside 100 yards.  I love hearing your encouragement and positive opinions.  I was diagnosed with Parkinson's around 10 years ago. It started in my right hand and has now spread to no feeling in my right leg below the knee. (I asked the Neruologist how could I walk if I had no feeling and he said, "from muscle memory." ) Then into my left leg and left hand. I am 90% disabled but continue to view exercise as my best friend.  From January 1 to July 11, I will have walked 724,795 steps, 421 miles, and 1,420 flights of stairs. I have to use a cane 1st thing in the morning and take a hot bath to loosen my leg muscles up enough to walk.  (Takes about 2 hours) Currently, I am doing physical theraphy 2 times a week but that may be ending soon.)  My weight has dropped from 175 pounds to 159 pounds. Because my body is constanntly moving. Consquently, myright side is affecting my golf swing.  Also, my friends see the outside jerky movements. However, Parkinson's is a neruological disease and the involuntary movements are minor compared to the lack of taste, no appetite, mental mood swings, night sweats, and foggy brained.  Well, enough of my problems. I fight this disease every way I can and am not a quitter.    So back to my original question. Do I totally change over to left handed golf or do I just change the Woods? Your thoughts please.   BTW, My Dad, L.G. Warner was Texas State Left Handed Golf Champion in the 50's. The reason I play right handed was becuse left handed clubs were difficult to find and not popular until sometime later.  Blessings,  Retired Old Man, Terry      
    • My best shot was BS, I classify as good result. When you try to hit a punch out on the yellow line. Then you just steepen the club from A6.5 and pull hook it way left. It wraps around a tree, gets past the big tree before the green, and rolls up to about 10-FT from the pin.🤣 Then I leave the birdie putt 1/2" short in the heart. I deserved that. 🤣
