I've gone to a cart bag and my current pull cart's straps are incredibly short. Anyone encountered this problem before? Did you just jimmy it up with bungee cords or replace the straps? They're Velcro so I'm looking to see where I can get new longer straps.

Mine are OK, but I use a bungee anyway to keep the bag from rotating.  What cart did you get?

The straps on my cart are bungee (which is awesome). You could probably jury rig some sort of extension if you don't want to or can't replace the straps.

When I walk at my home course, I typically rent a pull cart.  They all have to short of straps, and my bag is not overly big.  I typically can get them to velcro shut, but just barely.

Thanks for the feedback! I have a bagboy from about 6 or 7 years ago, two wheeler.

Sounds like an excuse to get a new cart. ;-)

Ace hardware has nylon strapping material, velcro, and buckles to custom make your own straps if that interests you.

What interests me is getting something like velcro onto my cart for when I walk. In any given round, I have to figure out where to put my glove when I'm not using it (or them, as I usually alternate among two) to allow it to air out -- otherwise I'll usually sweat through a glove. How tough would it be to get velcro pieces onto my (push) cart?

Any Walgreens or office store should have sticky back velcro in the stationary department. Peel and stick whichever side you need- hooks or loops. Or, you can just do what I do and use the straps on the bag to put the gloves on. they should wrap around the strap, close the velcro and it's done.

I'll try the office supply route. The straps on my bag don't have any velcro on them, sadly, and they're somewhat hidden by how the bag sits on my push cart. Either way, this should be much better than the other approaches I've been trying. Thanks!

You don't need velcro ON the straps, the strap is like your arm, just close the glove around the strap. the flap should close with the strap passing thru the upper part of the opening.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
