Clicgear 2.0 push cart when I walk. I'm 62 with a chronic bad back and haven't carried in 25 years. And when it's sunny and hot, I open up the umbrella and it makes a big difference being out of the sun for most of the round. I ride on weekends (required at the course), vacations, or on very hilly courses.

Clicgear 3 makes it so much easier. I like this much better than my Bag Boy push cart I had before. Well made, easy to use, and folds up small.

I have the seat on my Clicgear 3 and yes I use it a lot on the weekends when play is a bit slower.

You can not fold up the cart with the seat on tho, but removal from the cart is just a push button release. I also changed the seat on the post to a quick release as well.

I walked and carried up until earlier this season.  In the spring, I blew out the seam on another carry bag (2nd bag in 2+ years) and decided getting a Clicgear would be cheaper in the long run plus I ain't getting any younger.  I feel fresher at the end of a round and have played numerous 27 hole days and a few 36.  Also been able to play a lot more consecutive days as the shoulders and back feel much better without the added weight.

I have back problems, so I haven't carried in about 15 years, but wanted to walk again.  I picked up a cheapo pull-cart and hated it.  I then bought a Sun Mountain push cart, and love it.  It takes very little effort on the old back to push them around for 18 holes.

I prefer to carry, and will cut the number of clubs in my lightweight bag. If I go with a full set and walk, it is usually with a 2 wheel pull cart. I have a 3 wheel speedcart, but it is not as maneuverable and feels like a baby stroller. On real hot, humid days, I will take a cart. Carts are free with my membership, but I appreciate the exercise by walking.

We have caddies at our course and we cannot carry our bag until after 3:00 PM. The policy is to promote our very successful caddie program and to generate a little revenue with the motorized carts. Unfortunately we don't have pull carts. I would gladly pay to use one after 3:00 PM but we haven't done that yet.

I love courses that require caddies. The purest way to play the game, IMO.

99.9% of the time I carry. Same as said before ,at 59 , a stronger back and legs are a good thing. I use the Ogio Schling harness which does a great job balancing the load.

I use my cart most of the time.  It is easier, don't have to worry about weight and can carry lunch.  I really want an electric one but thats a little above my means right now.  Now that is walking in style.  It isn't a shape thing, just an easier thing.  I'm looking to play well, not get the best workout I can.

The workout really is negligable compared to walking with a purpose, but I always play better when I walk.

I have the Sun Mtn 4 wheel push cart. Very stable but wished I could stand bag up a little more. Does fold up nicely though. I walk when ever I can and love it plus seem to play better. Exception is if extremely hot or group that rides. Walking gives you time to think AND forget. Plus my local course has lots of deer and turkeys and a few kite pairs. Very relaxing plus deer tracks in green can be great reason for that close but missed putt if you need/want an excuse. ;-)

IF it's a fairly flat 9-hole course or a Par 3 course, I carry my bag.

Otherwise, I ride. My home course and another course I play on occasion are subdivision courses: You have a quarter mile here and there between the last green and the next tee. Non-riders would get run into the ground by the cart-mounted "cavalry." My home course does not allow walkers, the other discourages it.

Focus, connect and follow through!

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By Shindig · Posted

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
