How could a 2-wheeled cart ever be preferred to a 3-wheeler?

I have both. Although I usually carry, when I decide to take a cart, I select the 2-wheeler 90% of the time. It is lighter, more agile, and doesn't look like a baby stroller. It doesn't need a brake to keep it from rolling away. You can push or pull a 2-wheeler if you want to, something that really doesn't work well with 3 wheels. The only thing a 3-wheeler does a bit better is to handle a very large, heavy bag.

You can push ... a 2-wheeler if you want to,

Maybe it's because I'm tall, but I've never found this to be very true.  You start to push a two-wheeler and the terrain changes a bit and the bottom of the bag digs into the ground and the handle buries into your groin.

I'm not a cart-er, so it doesn't affect me much, but I thought about it at one point and experimented with my dad's old two-wheeler and my brothers current 3-wheeler.  It took about 2 seconds for me to realize that 3-wheelers are 1000% better for me.

(Most of the time I use four-wheelers with motors though ;))  Or when I do walk, I carry.

You don't need to hit a brake pedal.

The brake hasn't worked on my Sun Mountain in years, and I've not had a problem.

2 wheeler is lighter and doesn't take up most of my trunk. If you have an apartment and have to climb three flights of stairs, a 3 wheeler is a problem.

I have a fondness for a little (and I do mean little) 3-wood I had in high school and throughout college.  It was a Taylor Made "Cleek."  Same concept as the "Raylor" with 3 or 4 little rails along the bottom of the tiniest clubhead you've ever seen.  And to top it off, it was bent at the hosel, but for some reason, it worked really well for me. Hmmmm, now I wonder if I have it laying around in my parents garage somewhere. Here's a pic of one ...

GD you must have picked up my old cleek after I traded it in. And the hosel was bent because I used to slam it on the ground a lot. :-)

Definitely the Titleist 975's. Those were the posh drivers to have back when I was playing in high school. Old Ping Anser putters. The owner of the golf course I worked at in high school had an incredible collection of them.

Also, found these in an antique store today (lol). Was very close to picking them up for a mere $50. I may go back and get them tomorrow.

T-zoid Pro-II is the best iron ever made!!!  If I found a set in great condition I'd have a hard time passing.  I played this stick from 1996-2007 and absolutely loved them.

bring 2 $20 bills and offer him that...

I talked them to $50 from $60, I think it's still a good deal. The faces were in really good shape, and I don't mind the bag chatter.
