Pros use push carts. Stewart Cink was seen using a trolley playing East Lothian after the BO.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I always carry.

I've tried to pull the clubs on a cart before, but I dunno it just didn't feel right. I probably should buy a stand though. I have an old Hippo bag from the mid 90s and I often have to lay it down if its windy or on bumpy terrain.

I'd say its about 50-50 on my course with carrying or pushing a cart.

If I'm walking the course (which is most of the time), I always carry. The only time I take a cart out is if it's really damn hot or if I'm playing a laid back, beer drinkin' round with the buddies.

Ha ha. I would consider it if I could enjoy a beer driniking round. Sounds fun! Not sure if I wil be able to do that in France or the UK though.

I usually walk and use the Sun Mountain push cart.  It is probably the only way I'd enjoy walking.  I don't enjoy carrying very much and don't really like the 2-wheeled pull carts you can rent at the course.

I really don't walk anymore because of a foot issue that will not go away but I really do prefer to walk playing golf.  When I first started playing golf, could not afford the extra expense of a riding cart so I used a pull cart.  After a few years, I gave up the pull cart and began carrying my clubs.  So, for years I carried my clubs when I did not rent a riding cart.  A few years back, some of my buddies wanted to start walking (all of us own EZGO carts) and they got the new push (not pull) carts.  Even at 60+ years old, I still carried my clubs.  I just don't like dealing with a push or pull cart.  Sure wish I could get the foot problem solved so I could walk some afternoons.

I've used a push cart (Clicgear) for years, but on a whim went back to carrying last week. Really enjoying it and, at the moment, also playing better! :-)

I'd forgotten the extra freedom of movement you have on the course with your clubs on your back.

Using one of these. Seems like a nice bag so far.

I carry and push. Mostly carry. Depends on my mood and availability of a push cart in the family.

My home club is quite hilly on the front nine and relatively flat on the back nine. Downhill for holes 1 thru 3, back up on holes 4 and 5, then all the way down for hole 6, relative flat hole 7 and back up on holes 8 and 9.

Contrary to what most are saying I find it easier to carry my bag especially on the hilly front nine.

When I use one of the club's 3 wheeled push carts I am winded going up the 4th and 5th holes.

Also we have a very strict policy of no push carts going between the bunkers and the green. This means considerably less walking by carrying the bag.

I walk 9 often and always carry, not sure if I would enjoy pushing more or not I never have really.  My dad's got a pushcart but he also tends to carry his bag.

I've walked my entire golfing career (I'm 39. I'll add that I do ride if it's a tournament team event and my partner is riding). I've carried my bag the entire time, with the exception of last year. Last year, I bought a TourTrek push cart to try out. I used it for most of the year. I've since converted back to carrying. A few things got me back to carrying. First, I didn't 't feel a difference, fatigue wise, in carrying vs pushing. Also, I like the versatility of carrying. If I need to hop a creek, I can do that carrying, not with a cart. Also, if I finish out a hole, I can carry my bag on a direct line across the green to the next tee box. I could see pushing when I get older, but I prefer to carry now.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
