For a long time, I motored around the course in a golf cart that carried me as well as my clubs. Then I tried a golf push cart - and I've not gone back to riding ever since.
I love walking the course! Here are my top ten reasons why.
Better Scores
My number one reason why I love walking the golf course is that I score better. Really, I do. Studies have shown that, golfers who use a golf push cart score three strokes better, on average over nine holes, than those who ride in a cart. And my experience bears that out.
Focus
I focus on the game in a more relaxed way, reviewing my last shot and planning the next shot.
Better Club Selection
No more saying to my partner "Drop me off I'll just keep these clubs; you go on to your ball," only to find out I need an eight iron instead of the seven iron that I kept.
Getting the Bag Close to the Green
Many times, on my approach shots, I'm just off the green and need to chip on (hopefully in). My game calls for chipping with any one of four different clubs depending on distance and how much roll the ball will need. With a riding cart. I'm usually left with the dilemma of "Should I take four clubs (plus a putter) to the green or take a chance with fewer clubs?" With the push cart or an electric golf trolley, I can get up- close and feel confident with my club selection.
Less Time Pressure
When riding, I'm always tied to my riding partner and sometimes that results in frustrating waits while he or she wipes the last blade of grass from a club. Or I've got to hurry up and hit my ball so that my partner can get his/her shot off. When I use the golf trolley, I'm free to move independently of my golf buddy.
