Hello I am looking at buying a new golf trolley.  I have a tour bag and the main problem I have is finding one that is big enough for it to fit.  That is my main concern. I don't want to spend a lot so an electrical trolley is out of the question.  Anyone have any recommendations? I seen that this gets good reviews but don't know if its big enough http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003V4XUI6/ref=s9_simh_gw_p200_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf;_rd_s=center-2&pf;_rd_r=0Q852GSKH1KV5X3X3DDD&pf;_rd_t=101&pf;_rd_p=317828027&pf;_rd_i=468294

My 2 cents......pay a little extra for a heavy duty model that will last for many years.  ........especially if you play regularly!! When I used to walk, I had to replace it every year!  I finally paid extra for a heavy-duty Bagboy cart and it has over 5,000 miles on it now.   I no longer walk so my bagboy outlasted my walking days....LOL

If you buy a cheap one, the tubing will fail if you put any real mileage on it.  I am biased towards BagBoy carts....

Also, avoid that cheap lightweight square tubing!!  I've never heard of Bullet, so I can't really comment on it's durability.

If I was in the market for a 3 wheel pushcart, this would be my choice............

I have a regular cart bag and I am on my 2nd Bag Boy.  The first one was 4 years old and working fine, until I backed over it with my car.  My new one is a Bag Boy Quad but to tell the truth, I liked the 3 wheel version better.

Get a Clicgear and a cart bag.

Lose the tour bag. They are designed to be carried by a caddy.

Tour bags are not for amateurs.

A caddy was the first thing that came to my mind too. I have an image in my head.

Seriously, if you go staff, go heavy duty.

Lose the huge cart bag...not necessary. I am buying the new Sun Mountain SV1 Speed Cart with the new Sync bag to match. I have had the original version Speed Cart since it came out. It is just wearing out now after ten(?) years.

You use a pull cart? I don't really care what people do to get their clubs from A to B, but for me personally pull carts are on par with power carts. I might use one when I get old (probably will) but until then walking and carrying makes this hobby seem more like an actual sport. Whatever floats your boat.

I was being a smarty pants!! I won't lie. I'll admit to drooling over a couple push carts at Golf Town. 9 holes is easy peasy, and 18 at my own pace is easy (ish), but when the rounds bog down due to slow play or it's a course designed around residences, oh man a push cart would be sweet!!

I carried into my late 50s then the act of tilting my spine to hike the clubs onto my shoulders got to my lower back...an old skiing injury methinks. Anyway I was to the point of ordering one of those electric carts when the original Sun Mountain push cart came out. Tried it and loved it without all the fuss of charging batteries and tear down etc. Been happy ever since. Now the thing is wearing out so I will pick up a new cart with bag to match this year. Just money right!?

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
