If I'm playing solo, I walk/carry.  If the cart is included in the green fee, I'll ride.  One of my local courses requires a cart, so I ride there.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the backpack style carry/stand bags?  I end up one strapping with it and I find it annoying.

Like @Mac62 said in the summer it is not an option when you live in the desert. Since I play with a group that always ride and they own their own carts as well, I do a hybrid approach, in that I walk to green from my second/third hot most of the time.

I carry but wouldn't mind getting a really nice pull cart some day. I only ride if it's suggested by my playing partner.

Ha, the guy on Altered Course has the same bag I use. The black Ping bag. It is a good bag for carrying.

Not sure I would carry this one.

Would love to walk a course sometime, but I play with my dad mostly and his arthritis does not agree. I just go jogging a few times a month. Would not be opposed to pull carts though if I did walk, carrying seems a bit unhealthy on the neck imo unless you're pretty stout.

When I play alone, I have a push cart (caddy-tek - love it!). When I play with others, I ride. Walking gives me a little more time to think about the next shot and I actually don't feel as rushed getting in and out of a cart all the time.

    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.
