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 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
