i'm 29 and started using a clicgear pushcart this year.  i couldn't care less if someone thinks it's silly for someone my age to use one.

Just stumbled across this site while researching push/pull carts. I just started playing again after 10 years, and have been biten by the bug. have a club in my hand most everyday, Before, after work and lunch when possible. I play a par 3 walking course Thursday nights with the boys, age 16 to 56. Most carry thier bags, and my buddy who is 42, I am 56, laughed when I bought a cheap $20 pull cart off Craiglist, but his clubs go in my bag EVERY time we walk. HMMMMMMMMMMMM, might be an ego thing. I am looking toupgrade the basic cart, want something with 3 or 4 wheels for stability, which is how I found my way here. Funny thing is, my buddy, the youngster has already offered me my $20 back when I get a new cart, cause he doesn't want to carry anymore. The lifting and twisting of picking it up and putting it down, (We both have cart bags) coupled with the bad falling over has made him see the light.

Golfsmith has a Tour Tek 3 wheeler for 119.00 plus Tax. Was wondering if anyone knew anything about or had any feedback on this cart?

Cool site, great info here!

I am considering the Clicgear 3.0. I have a cheapo pull cart that I use now, and for me it's way better than carrying, as far as my back and swing go. I think it's good for my game when I still have a good swing going into 15. Those last holes seem to be where I drop the most strokes, and even the pull cart I have now has helped lessen my fatigue level...

I just don't have the back to carry - it's a 2 wheel pull cart if I'm playing 9  holes (don't prefer push carts); electric cart if I'm playing 18.

The only thing I don't like about 2 wheel pull carts is that they aren't that stable.  The one I have, and it's a cheap-o, has dumped my bag all over the fairway more than once just from hitting a bump, and any kind of incline is not a good place to leave it. I'm hoping the three wheel push variety will solve all that.

Any input? Experiences?

I walked exclusively for the first 1,500 rounds I played........that's about 7500 miles walked!!

IMO...a pull/push cart is good for the golf game.  It doesn't matter what your age.  Some people carried because there was a stigma against pullcarts back in the day...IE...as if you weren't a real player unless you carried, but I don't think that holds true anymore.  I've done both, and I highly recommend a pull/push cart for those who walk.

Thats how I was too.....  I liked to pull mine.

funny sidenote:

I wore through a pull/cart a year!!  .......they kept wearing out and breaking!!  It wasn't until about my 4th pullcart that I finally spent extra for a super-heavy duty Bag Boy with old school round steel tubing that I had a cart with lasting ability.

I still have the bag boy today....it probably has 5,000 miles on it now and it's as good as new.  Sadly....I quit walking about 5yrs ago Annual memberships started including riding carts so that put an end to my walking career...LOL

Same here.  I'm a relatively new golfer so I carried my golf bag one of my first times out.  My back was killing me by the 9th hole.

      Struggling With Volatility

      By WagonWheel · Posted

      Interested to hear from those who have gone through something similar. I'm currently around a 9 handicap and have logged 50 rounds so far this year. My issue isn't really my handicap itself, it's the amount of score variation. Looking back through the year, I've had scores ranging from 73 to 95, with everything in between. Within the last week alone I went: 92 - 74 - 80 - 89 - 93. I appreciate there is always a variance to scoring and that is fine but I seem to have the issue of being capable of a mid to low 70's round and then the next day adding 20 shots onto that. Others I know around my handicap, they seem to live in the low-mid 80s and occasionally shoot high 70s. In contrast, I seem to have a very high ceiling and a very low floor. My goal is to get to 5 but I feel a million miles away from that at the moment. I have had periods of lessons where I have got better but that baseline level never seems to have improved and the only sort of logical conclusion I can come to is because my fundamental ball striking and clubface control is not good enough. Over the years I've been through the usual cycle of swing thoughts and feels. Something works for a few rounds and then it disappears. This latest episode involved a "looser arms, smoother swing" feel which coincided with some good golf before scores drifted back upwards this week. The more I look at my scoring record, the more I wonder whether the answer is much simpler. Perhaps score volatility is ultimately just a reflection of strike and clubface variability. If strike and face control vary significantly from day to day, then perhaps 74 one week and 93 the next shouldn't be surprising. So my questions are: Has anyone else experienced this sort of variance? Did you eventually become more consistent, and if so, how? Was it primarily technical, mental, course management, practice-related, or something else? Did you manage to raise your floor, or are some golfers simply naturally more volatile than others? Interested to hear from anyone who has gone from being a "74 or 94" golfer to someone who lives in the 70s and low 80s.
