When Riding a Cart...

[supercow]

Prefer to drive. Always feel strangely off balance when someone else is driving.

I find myself riding less and less these days... getting back into walking. But I usually prefer to drive when I am in a cart. However, when I'm the passenger, I also like to just grab my wedge and putter after I hit my approach shot and walk the rest of the way, so I'm somewhat ambivalent.

Like Eric, I don't like riding with a driver who doesn't have a clue how to properly use a cart. That does drive me nutz.

I often end up taking an extra club or two for my second shot and end up walking most of the hole anyway. For this reason, I like to be the passenger.

That pretty much sums up how I feel. I like to walk as much as possible without slowing the team down. I can usually drive it further than most of the people I hit it with, so I just estimate my remaining yardage and start walking down the hole with 2 or 3 clubs in my hand.

I've never even been in a cart, so I have no idea!!

If I'm not driving the cart I'm walking. The ONLY time I can be the passeenger is in a scramble format, and then it takes LOTS of beer!

I much prefer to drive. I play once a year with a guy who makes quick, cutting, last minute turns, and if I'm not holding on, I'm out! Drives me nuts! If I'm driving, I usually look for their ball first, and if mine's closer, I'll have them take the cart.

I prefer to drive, but I don't mind sharing it.

Just heard a story at a course I played...they hosted a scramble, with a group of heavy drinkers. There was a group that was coming down a very steep hill, the driver cut left and the passenger wasn't paying attention and fell out of the cart. He then proceeded to roll and slide down the rest of the hill and suffered a severe case of road rash.

Moral of the story, be careful. End of hijack.

I like to drive, but for me I really dont care if I drive or not, but sometimes it can get anoying when the person is driving doesnt know how to drive on the course and how to put the car properly.
