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.

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 ... [URL=http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/291037374049?lpid=82]http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/291037374049?lpid=82[/URL]

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.

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.

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      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?
