I am currently looking to buy a golf bag cart. Some local shops have some great deals going on right now and I want to take advantage. However, I am not sure as to whether or not I want a push or a pull cart. Would anyone recommend one over the other?

Also, are there any definitive advantages to paying more for a cart? Based on my assumptions, price shouldn’t really be a factor as they all seem to serve the same purpose. Would a $90 model really "out-perform" a $40 one? Thanks in advance.

I'm shopping for the same thing and will definitely be getting a three wheel push cart over a pull cart. The three wheels is way easier on your back and is not awkward to get around the course. I've used the pull carts quite a bit and don't really like them much. From the testimonies I've heard from users the push carts are the way to go.

Can't speak to the quality difference.

I've decided to go with a BagBoy:

M-310

From everything I've read, this seems to be a good, economical way to go. Am I making a bad choice?

That would have been my choice early on, but I am definitely saving up for a three wheel cart as they are way easier on your back, have more room for balls, tees, snack, water etc... The biggest thing for me is I'll feel better after 18 holes of pushing than dragging a cart.

Just my 2 cents

My friend has a 3-wheel push cart. He actually recommended that I find a good pull cart, because his seems like a pain to use, needing to apply the brake all the time to prevent rolling (which it frequently does), to name one annoyance.

I can always purchase the add-on wheel in the future, in order to turn the M-310 into a push cart.

I decided to get the BagBoy LT-450, instead. I was in Dick's and decided to upgrade. After using a coupon and a gift card, I got the $80 cart for $42. Not bad. I used it today for 9 holes and loved it. I look forward to using it tomorrow morning. Great deal on a great cart

ah the joy of the "search" button

Alright guys..I played yesterday and humped my PING L7, as usual, for a round. Think I'm gettin old..I'm sore. Thin "Srow"asked if push is better than or not compared to a pull. Not sure which site it was but they said the push was better because it doesn't fatigue the muscle as a pull cart would..I guess pushing is better than pulling when it comes to your swing muscles.

Anyway..still looking over to see if I should get the trike in BagBoy or SunMountain..think the Bagboy is a little cheaper. I really don't want to spend too much more than $100.

My Scorecard

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
